Will try and get some better photos tomorrow, but width, length, good fleece, tight skins and of course good legs and teeth. I go for a more female looking narrow head but the ones with the big bull heads are wanted by some for crossing but are getting less and less as folk go for easy lambing types.

Lovely tups @Old Tip. He looks really good on his legs, should breed some lovely females.

I've got a real soft spot for Northies, I think they're the ultimate low input white faced sheep!

@yellow belly this the photo of the catalogue
Yeah ? - I was there on Tuesday. Got a few (but not quite as many as I was after), that's why I said earlier that I thought the trade was a bit strong. I'm not used to seeing 4 and 5 crop ewes making £120 :woot:
It's the first time I've been in a sale ring that has a belfry too :playful:

You will still be lambing them for another three years minimum, I have plenty ten crop ewes if you want some
