Any word from Dingwall today? They had 16,000 booked, so are likely to steal the 'largest sale' title from Lairg this year.

Sticky was a common word. In laws were in first district and dissapeared after we were through, anyone there did it improve much after?
No problem, went to see if it was possible to bring ewe lambs to ireland, id say them lambs pictured were in the mid 30s kgs, the lambs in the ring were from badanloch.... brilliant stock

Nah!
Nah! Have all three.Its a great small video! Being a simple fellow,it even gave me a small shiver up the back of my neck.Even the wagon driver does a skip when loading the sheep.Had not heard of Skippinish before,Robert Robertson has a fine voice,although i think hes left to form his own band "Tide Lines" or something.Beautiful lassie in their "official video",The Island!.Swap the Cheviots for a beer or 2 and you are onto something

Yeah that was the Dingwall report he has posted @Old Tip .
It's the Caithness sale today at Quoybrae , not sure on overall sale average but we were up a bit with our cheviot ewe lambs, sold in two lots £120 and £118. There used to be 50,000 lambs sold over a four day event of only cheviots and half-breds up here , huge sale but it is all in one day now and there would only be about 1k cheviot and half bred lambs there and then the cross-bred stores sold after them.
