St Boswells Store Cattle & Ewe & Lambs Sale

EWES with LAMBS

What a trade!  Records broken today for a Texel Ewe with twin lambs hitting a whopping £410 per life from Messrs Mackie, Crailing Nook.

Following her at £260 was again a Texel with a single from the same good home

Hoggs topped at £188 for a pen of Suffolks with Singles from Messrs Lowrie, Blegbie

A huge thank you to Scott Dempster for coming from Lockerbie to judge the show.  He found his champion in a pen of Texel Gimmers from Messrs Mackie, Crailing Nook which he later purchased for £200 per life.  His reserve was a pen of 5 Suffolk Hoggs from Messrs Lowrie, Blegbie which he also purchased at £188 per life
