Messrs Mallinson, The Hill sold a great run of 28 Texel ewes to average £240 topping at £280. Suffolk ewes topped at £214 for a single from Grant Hurcombe, Stranraer.  Beltex ewes topped at £249 for a single from Chris Timm, Pickering.  Mule ewes sold to £165 for a pen of 12 from Messrs Walton, Turnings. Herdwicks topped at £140 from Messrs Fletcher, Brampton.  Messrs Morton, Penrith sold 3 Swaledale ewes to £140. 

Rams topped at £250 for a Charollais from Messrs Timm while Texel rams sold to £190 from Messrs Park, Lockerbie.
