WHAT for the pie fair ? robert bowring won well done to his team. meat and potato!
Never met Grahem but Robert lost any chance of any future business of mine through pure laziness or arrogance I’m not sure which one… … possibly the latter… not many auctioneers these days with much about them really…
those that arent arogant will be in time.

Seriously strong show of Hexham blackie bred mule ewe lambs in Hexham today. A pleasure too see such a nice show of sheep.
Top price £230 for 1st prize
2nd prize £205
Several other strong first pens £170-£195
3rd prize sold early in the sale at £150, half an hour later would have been another £15/£20
Smaller tuppers 135-150 (still very smart)
Strong runners (would tup on a good farm) £120-135
Smaller runners £100-115 (not many in that category)
Only a couple of pens sold below £100, potential for a bit of spurious breeding…
Cheviot Mules
Small but Excellent show of lambs. All strong tuppers. £142-£155 I think.
Didn’t stop too watch the continental ewe lambs sold.

Store lambs strong money at Thame today, lots of lambs mid 80’s
probably true but I’m a firm believer of people should be treated the same weather they buy/sell 1 sheep a year or 1000… auctioneers promote the sell live and thrive lark but a lot of them don’t want too work for it either ….
Strange how this happens when, at last, prices are decent.

Case of mad cow disease is identified on a Somerset farm
The Animal and Plant Health Agency said the infected animal was dead and had been removed from the farm. It said there was 'no risk to food safety'.

Swaledale gimmer lambs looked a very good trade at Middleton today. Don't know for sure but would say they must of averaged around £100

Now that’s mental.
I know nothing about swales (some would say I know nothing in general
) but do people only sell there worst swale gimmer lambs?Surely if you went to the effort of keeping swale ewe pure you would keep all the best lambs a home.
If this is true at £100 average they are mental but if most are good sheep £100 doesn't sound to bad for mule breeders.
