WOMBLETON / FADMOOR SHEEP SALES 2017

Dear Vendor/Purchaser,

Again this year we have seen the numbers and support at all our annual sheep sales increase. Our thanks goes to everyone who has been involved this year from the lads setting up the pens, our army of staff, and of course everyone who has bought and sold stock at one of the sales.

This year, for probably the first time, the late sale will be best remembered for the torrential and continual downpour during the afternoon. Although everyone got wet, it did not dampen the spirit of the sale as all sheep attracted good competition from buyers around the ring up to the end.

We think the overall trade for all three sales was satisfactory despite the future remaining uncertain as we prepare to leave the European Union.

Finally of course a big thank you to all our sponsors, judges, and to all members of the North York Moors Quality Sheep Association who gave their support to our sales. If you have any comments or wish to discuss any matter please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Kind regards,

Keith D Warters MRICS William Tyson BSc (Hons) MRICS FAAV T. 01653 697820 T. 01653 697820 M. 07850 915249 M. 07977 560109 E. [email protected] E. [email protected]
