Yes i will be there, got 70 odd ewes to sell at the ewe sale tomorrow too, should pay for a decent tup!!! staying in the Lovat Arms, can't wait the tup sale is my favourite sale of the year,
I'm needing two but broke my leg so can't go, I've a friend going up for a couple so might ask him to look out for a couple for me as well. Will the tups be similar quality to Lairg?
Ewes are a big trade. I'm not there but getting text updates. The Kilbride(Skye) hill ewes have just made £92 the Strathvaich ewes made £83 these would both be correct 6 year olds.
@Jim75 is that you fully stocked?
Hope not!Not quite, got 2/3 of what we were looking for. Like I said it was very dear today. Maybe that will follow in to tomorrow?

I stopped at 2, all out after speaning this year and a new lot in - hopefully get 2 from them also.You would easily get two and after that it would really be up to how the ewes were wearing.I have known people who have taken four but personally I would stop at two.
Am I correct in saying that a lot of these ewes are not tupped as gimmers so a 6 yr old ewe would only be 4 crop.You would easily get two and after that it would really be up to how the ewes were wearing.I have known people who have taken four but personally I would stop at two.
