Grandad reckoned the Alston Moor sale at Lazonby was phenomenal in the pre F&M days 30-32 000 in one day. Latest he ever bought in there was 1.45am the Thursday morning. Then loaded up and set off the 4 hour ride home! 😣
Then didn't they start again the next day with 10-12000 mule wethers? Might not be right that but seems to ring a bell

I remember the first time I went there with father there was no small lots allowed the lambs ran once around the ring and out, each lot was only sold for 15-20 seconds the sheep were gone and next lot in while last lot were still being sold a bit of an education

And i remember trade not being sa flash when a pen of 25 lambs would come in and GT the auctioneer would say 'pounds for numbers' 😂
Hope we never hear that phrase again !
