Not been for 2 years but for years before you could only drive on.late in day for, I believe, health & safety reasons. Most people followed the rules at least until sale finished as far as I could see as always long wait for taxi.
Doesn't matter to me now as would never go back there for a tup after 40 years of attending.

squeeky bum time , all the feed the potential kelso rams will be burning through atm , i cant see how hereford or lanark is going to be any safer than a huge show field , did i read will be held over numerous days for different breeds ?

Same I just happen to have kept a few Shedders from last yr will use on anything not related , cant beat sheep that are used to the land you farm and management.I was only wondering at the weekend, whether or not it'd go ahead - and how they'd manage it, if it did.
I presume the individual markets will sell the rams farm to farm, or hold sales, themselves...
Just confirming more that I did the right thing keeping some select tup lambs entire. I'm not needing to buy anything in this year.

Yeah Ideal, to have spare capacity.I've bred 3 pure Texel tups this year and I've 3 pure Lleyns and another 2 or 3 NCCxLleyn lambs running too... along with 2 homebred Texel shearlings and a NCCxLleyn shearling.
15 adult rams and maybe 9 lambs for 600 ewes
I'm seriously over tupped. But I can afford to be hard and kill anything I don't like
what about your suffolks ?I've bred 3 pure Texel tups this year and I've 3 pure Lleyns and another 2 or 3 NCCxLleyn lambs running too... along with 2 homebred Texel shearlings and a NCCxLleyn shearling.

Her lamb died. Try again next year
Lucky escape??
Didn’t you have some Suffolk rams already, or have they gone too?
I really enjoyed the day at Kelso on a lovely Autumn morning, the drive up A68 and across to Kelso was stunning. Never went the night before so seems like I missed out there.You should do so at least once, assuming it gets going again, if only for the experience. Heading up the day before, booking a B&B, then spending the evening/night/early hours in Kelso town is a real eye opener, if only to savour the craic, and to witness the obscene amounts of feed some pens take along for a 24 hour stay.? I had never seen such big heaps of cabbages before, which were mostly cleared up by the time the majority of buyers arrived of course.
