I got my my pick from the torrish pen too! They had a serious pen of sheep in lairg!

I had a bad sale only got 3 out of the 5 I needed, far too fussy for my own good!

I only managed in for a wee while, but thought there was some decent enough sheep to be had for not too much money. Buyers seemed cautious on the tups from the south?

They did seem cheaper. I got attonburn for 250 quid.
The south sheep are definetly bigger and fatter. The 'hills' in the borders will be a world away from a hill in sutherland

Aye it was for these reasons I was brought up to be wary of them, but in the last few years it didn’t seem to make as much difference, they seemed to be selling well, but did notice it yesterday.

That’s my sort of tip, real good shape to him, nice clean head and looks a nice tight fleece

Picked up a Clachan tup in Dingwall as well, he had a good pen of sheep there. Thought the Inverbroom tups were tremendous

Shenavaille, Taldale, Attonburn.

Averaged £506.
I think that was some of the hardest tup shopping I've ever done.

Same boys 4 years later

 

[Dave6170]

Wonder what the sale set up will be like this year?
