Dingwall Tup Sale.

Where did you buy off?

I had a kind of random sale, I spent too much in Lairg so had very little budget left.

I got a sweet but on the small side 2 shear from 5 strathnaver Kinbrace for the gimmers,
I got a really powerful carcass tup from Wester Dunnet, for chucking out to the hill,
A total gamble shearling from Allanshaws that is a really good sheep.
And a nice smaller again for gimmers 2 shear from Buchtrig, had 2 from here a couple of years ago and they have done very well, great skins.

I bought one out of the pen for a friend, he had some trade.

Yea he did, I bought him out of the ring never got a hand on him, so relieved to check his mouth and find it was fantastic.

Hated lairg tup sale not getting any time to see the tups, and not getting near them once the sale started and no screens to watch, if you did not get in or get a tup picked, you were fecked. Dingwall was So much better run.

Yeah it want much fun at all. After I got the two shearlings early in Dingwall I knew I wouldn’t be after anything til the end so went back to the pens and handled quite a few tups out of interest, the preference for mouths must be quite subjective is all I’m saying 😆
