Thursday 19th September
Lawrie & Symington Ltd held their annual show and sale of 382 Beltex Rams, Ram lambs and females on behalf of Beltex Scotland where trade for the best end was high and above vendors expectations whilst the bottom end proved harder to cash. The sale topped at 3,600gns for the top shearling out of T & A Taylor, Heatheryhall pen which found a new home with Mr Knight, Stephney Farm, Cumbria. The pre-sale show was kindly sponsored by Country Refreshments and ably judged by Mr S Wood, Woodhillock, who awarded the championship to a gimmer from Mr K O’Connor which realised 650gns to Messrs McKinnon, Low Tirfergus, Campbeltown. The reserve was also to a gimmer from C Mair, Muirfield, which sold at 2,000gns to W Stephen & Co, Meikle Geddes.
