North West Texels breeders club annual show and sale of 104 pedigree in lamb ewes and gimmer hoggs was once again an outstanding success at Junction 36. The pre sale show was kindly sponsored by Carrs Billington’s. Thanks must go to our pre-sale judge Harry Griffies of the Cairngryffe flock.

The reserve champion sold to 1500gns from G Gray, sired by New View Electrifying, in lamb to Clarks Gray Goose and carrying twins. Plenty of interest was seen for the run of gimmers from the Sportsman flock with their best selling twice to 1400gns (BGS2206124 and BGS2206025).
