Forward: 7,357 head at an overall average of £96.84 per head (+£6.35 up)
CCM Auctions conducted their opening Fortnightly Show and Sale of NEMSA members Mule Gimmer Lambs at Skipton Auction Mart, North Yorkshire on Tuesday. The pre-sale show was of a high quality with 21 pens of ten and 12 pens of 20 presented for showing.
It was the champion pen of ten lambs, chosen by judges John Gate and John Greenhalgh, from The Booth Family of Old Hall Farm, Feizor that took the top price on the day selling for £280 a piece, followed by Kevin Wilson’s 2nd prize pen of ten taking the next highest price of £205. The Booth Family also won first prize for the best pen of 20 lambs, judged by Mr David Calvert & Mr Alan Thwaite. Overall a very pleasing sale, with the average showing a sensible increase on the year. The better lambs on the day took the best lift on the year, whilst a commercial lamb saw a marginal increase. Overall average of £96.84 per head.
Please Note that entries for the Second Sale of 10,000 NEMSA Mule Gimmer Lambs to be held on Tuesday 20th September close tomorrow (Wed 7th Sept) at 4pm. The ballot will be drawn immediately afterwards.
