SHEEP (672) - Auctioneer: Nick Young Start 11.15 promptHOGGETS (391) Overall average 167.41p per kg.
Predictably the snow and ice resulted in a shorter entry than we would have hoped. Nonetheless trade was a rip roarer, as one buyer flew out another flew in and Nick Young fell off his perch!! Many thanks to the “Laird of Rickney” for assisting the old boy to his feet!!
