CCM Auctions conducted the Northern Area Texel Sheep Breeders Club Sale at Skipton Mart where a solid commercial base underpinned the trade throughout the sale with a clearance rate of 90% achieved.

The female trade was led by the champion, a Gimmer Shearling from West Yorkshire Breeder Spyros Spyrou, this daughter of Deveronvale Superb out of a Gib Farm Moose the Moochie Ewe that had bred gimmer shearlings to 7,000gns, was sold for 3,800gns to the Anglezarke flock of Dr SR Symes.
