How was Longtown?
No idea!!
Not sure how many breeding ewes were in, they said 750 on website but I'd take a guess at maybe nearer 1000 - started with them 10am. They reckoned 10,000 lambs in for by... I didn't know it was expected to be quite such a big sale.
Got down there around 9am expecting to be through around 2pm as per my usual.
They start with the Cheviots, then sell all the Blackie lambs before moving onto 'commercial' lambs.. Well come 2pm they were still selling the bloody Blackies. I was penned about 2/3 of way through what was still to come so I decided to just come home and sort out cull ewes for tomorrow
