A fantastic show and sale for West Country Suffolk Sheep Association at Exeter Livestock Centre. There were very good sheep offered and very good trade had by all. Thank you all who entered and helped and a special thanks to the judge Steve Elsworthy.
Suffolks included a few very special individuals with the four figure barrier broken three times, firstly John Howard of Crediton sold the Overall Champion, a twin bearing shearling for 1050gns quickly followed just two lots later by the unshown single carrying shearling from Robin Irwin of Kings Nympton that realised 1000gns. Robin also exhibited the headliner, a show stopping, massive ewe lamb, this pick of this year’s crop; she sold at 2600gns. Other in-lambers to 700 & 550gns for Aimee Mogford of Nomansland and to finish the sale Graham Reddaway of Winkleigh parted with a tremendous pen of ewe lambs that sold readily at 900, 820, 620 & 520gns.
