MULE GIMMERS - TUESDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER 2017

Great Annual Show & Sale of North of England Mule Ewe Lambs on behalf of NEMSA Members. Forward: 7,073 head at an overall average of £98.09 per head (+£1.25 up) CCM Auctions conducted their opening Fortnightly Show and Sale of NEMSA members Mule Gimmer Lambs at Skipton Auction Mart, North Yorkshire on Tuesday. As usual there was a great selection of pens of 10’s and 20’s out for show and it was 2 pens from Messrs WA&A Booth, Old Hall Farm that took the eye of both sets of judges when they secured 1st prize in both categories. The 10’s were an outstanding pen and they later sold for £230, whilst the 20’s made £155. Ashley & Rachel Caton from Otterburn Lodge took second prize and they sold for £185 and £180 repectively.




The sale ring was packed from start to finish with a large ringside of buyers assembled for this years sale. It is pleasing to report that trade was very sensible and the overall average took a small rise of £1.25 per head on the year, although some lambs would be a shade smaller on the year due to wet weather generally seen this last couple of months. Most vendors runs show a rise on the year, smart lambs with power and good skins being especially good to sell, and smarter runner maintaining their trade from last year.
A huge thankyou to all involved today, vendors for presenting a good show, buyers for travelling from far and wide to support them, our judges for expertly carrying out their task, and finally to Pearsons Farm Supplies, Barclays Bank and Armstrong Watson for kindly sponsoring the prize money.

 

 

Please Note that entries for the Second Sale of 10,000 NEMSA Mule Gimmer Lambs to be held on Tuesday 19th September close tomorrow (Wed 6th Sept) at 4pm. The ballot will be drawn immediately afterwards.
