For god's sake watch what you're doing if you stay overnight @livestock 1. They can drink up there. It's not for amateurs! I survived two summers but I was a younger, fitter man then...

It’s amazing how many folk can fit in that bar!
That’s a tail end type sale though.
Lanark old ewes averaged £105 but that included quite a few dear pens. But anything decent £80.
Dalmally will be mixed. £60 will get you a decent pen I’d have thought.

Yes, any better ewes we're up in the 50£s.
I was going to suggest Northumberland -type Blackfaces from Hexham. The main sale is early October.
But even if that is out-of-the question, it's worth having a look at their website. It's just about the most impressive I've seen.

A long trek from me but had thought of going last year but never got....think they have kept the emphasis on carcass more over there which can only be a good thing.

A lot of smaller poorer types than other Districts. Possibly more genuine ewes though. Some vendors there have massive good quality ewes though. Pierson and Graham’s but take some buying

I’m a bit lost on where values will be too?
Gimmer lambs at Middleton were very cheap so I’ve been told
