Lleyn Production Sale

[unlacedgecko]

Give there have been several threads on Lleyns recently, I thought I'd advertise this. There will be a production sale in Worcestershire on Saturday 29 Jul.

I'll be there. I hope to see lots of you there as well.

@neilo hope you can make it so I can buy you that beer!

There's beer?

I believe so. As well as a BBQ and some excellent trade stands.

And the chance to see the Helmsman auction system.

Far away from me, or I'd have came down. Looks good!

 

[CopperBeech]

I believe telephone bids will be accepted. Or get a cheap internal flight. I'll pick you up from the airport

Getting them home shouldn't present any problems either.

Hope to be there too. Previous tup from there went as a cull last week. No hesitation getting another. Hopefully the unregistered ones won't be too mu.ch more than the declared reserves

Aside from the top ones, most that were sold last year were at their reserve or not far over. Something for everyone I expect.

The two year olds look good value especially as he will need to move on after a few years as more of his daughters are about. However under this sale system do you risk waiting until the end of the sale to bid on these.

Were you at the last sale?

 

[pauld]

No

 

[unlacedgecko]

The sale will be conducted under the Helmsman system. Are you familiar with that?

 

[AvonValleyFarmer]

I wonder how the ewes will sell? Wouldn't mind a few older girls to add to the mob

Only what I have read in catalogue. Presumably like a normal auction if there are a few unsold lots you can have a deal afterwards.
