However we were able to cope very well at Fadmoor and the late sale at Wombleton on the hard standing was a great success. Entry numbers were down this year, which I think was general at all breeding sales in the region which influenced the higher demand for breeding sheep. The numbers of moor sheep at the Fadmoor sale were a little disappointing, however the trade for the Swale & Scot breeding sheep was significantly better than other outlets and I hope we are able to recover numbers to maintain this well established sale next year. The store lamb trade was very good at all of the sales, showing there is some confidence going forward from the finishing men. Let’s hope during the rest of this year we can elect a more positive government who can just get the job done! We can then settle down to see a good reward for our quality product. Again I thank all our sponsors, judges and members of the North Yorkshire Moors Quality Sheep Association for their continued support, together with all vendors and purchasers who attended the sales.

WOMBLETON SHEEP SALE, THURSDAY 19th SEPTEMBER 2019 Cundalls held their annual first show and sale of gimmer lambs and breeding sheep at Wombleton on Thursday. It was a perfect sunny day and all the sheep looked at their best in the in the open pens. There was a particularly high turnout of buyers in all departments with a near 100% clearance of stock entered. Despite with the continued uncertainty of Brexit, prices of the breeding sheep were a little better than last year with the Mule shearlings averaging £6.00/head better than last year and with the prize winning pen at £145 some £23.00 better than last year. Similar improvements were seen in the Suffolk and Texel cross sections of the sale. The mule gimmer lambs finished the day averaging £76.00 very much in line with last years price. The coveted Peter Woodall Salver for the best pen of Mule gimmer lambs was retained by Breck House Enterprises, whose lambs later sold for a very respectful £145. With the continued difficult trade in the finished lamb market store lambs were a little harder to place than last year but finished a very respectable average just £2.00 down on last year. The judges for the competitive classes were renowned local farmers and supporters of the sale, Mr Ian Ellis of Old Byland, Mr James Sowray of Terrington and Mr John Hicks of Cawton.
