An excellent show and sale of in-lamb Blackface females at Lanark today saw trade peak at 4100gns and 38 lots average out at £1572.24, with a 93% clearance.
The pre-sale show was judged by Robert Shaw, who is shepherd for the MacNicols' 1300-ewe flock at Turnalt, and also runs a flock of 300 ewes with his own family at Acharonich, Lochgilphead. He described the quality of the entries as ‘outstanding’ and backed up his judging decisions by purchasing his champion and reserve animals – both gimmers from the Wight family, Midlock, which he said were “exceptional sheep – just my type and a credit to the breed.”
