No weigh crate.
Tegs are pure Romney, ewes are a mix of pure Romney, Suffolk x Romney, and a few tex x Romney if they can be differentiated.
Rams are Romney and texel. Teasers are a mix of allsorts.

There's an ifor Williams but I'm not sure if I'm going to sell that, if I do it won't be till next year as the fat lambs will still need moving about.

They live on the marsh so they'd be tough buggers

The last of my retirement sale items went into a collective yesterday, there was a lot of sheep 'stuff' there but seemed to sell well enough. The problem with selling on here is that we are tucked away in the furthest east and south you can get which can make collections difficult and a lot of sheep stuff isn't suitable for pallet carriers.
Do what I did and sell what you can on here and what remains can either go to Ashford or one of the two big collectives they do every year, next one is Chili Farm near Dover in September I believe.

How many?
Big feckers that make the shearers swear. Rams nearly like a small bull.
I've a PM about the ewes and tegs, but just to let you all know numbers, there's currently 41 kent tegs, maybe 75 kent ewes be worth selling, guess about 75 mixed breed ewes be worth selling rest be culls.
Theres half a dozen of various ages, couple getting pretty toothless but do another year if I was keeping sheep.

Saturday sales are like that sometimes, people seem to have to go home with something and get the auction bug
.Saying that, I had decided an item was going home with me before the auction and guess what? Yes I took it home

How much cheaper would it have been to buy new?

What I took home I think you would struggle to find new as it was an antique
. I have done a search and cannot find anything like it on the internetwebthingy so I'm still happy with my purchase .

dispersals and collectives arnt just sales they are a time to catch up on the local gossip have a chat with the neighbours and a morning off from the daily grind , buy some rusty old crap that you might make something out of (never ) or some wrong size tyres or wheels , with the reduction of farmers i for one miss our local sale now its gone ,
Started the dispersal today with the first culls in the market.
Ought to put a few more details up I guess.
Romney (kent) ewe tegs got 51 of them.
Ewes approx 170, approximately half and half romney and Suffolk x romney.
There are also some pure romney ewe lambs from this lambing, no idea on number currently but can either go fat or for breeding.
I do currently have some interest in the flock.
