North West Auctions Weekly Report and Newsletter – 28th December
NWA J36 Young Handlers Show & Sale Tuesday 27th December Today's sale incorporated the Young Handler's Show and Sale. 35 Single lambs were entered for the show, it was absolutely fabulous to see so many youngsters, and a credit to them for taking the time in preparing them for the show. Our Show was kindly sponsored by Myrescough Agricultural College, with Mr Craig Thompson being in attendance. The judge for the morning was Claire Cropper from Long Preston, and we thank her for her expertise. Top price of the sale went to Miss Grace Gardiner, 1 Kell Springs, Penrith, for a superb 46kg Beltex lamb. Grace was first in her class, then was overall Champion Handler. Her lamb realised £235 (510.9p) to our judge Claire Cropper. In the Single Upland Lamb class a 57kg Mule consigned by Ivy Sedgwick which went on to sell for £86.50. It was a 42kg Swaledale from Thomas Wilson which topped the Horned Lamb Class, and later sold for £79. We would like to thank the buyers for there keen support today, hopefully giving the next generation of young farmers some encouragement.
