We think the potatoes are looking really well, they have all passed the final inspections that were due and we are now monitoring them for size, we don’t want them getting too big for seed. Robert even managed to bring some Epicure home for the pan tonight 🥔🥔🥔 🍽️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Pedigree Suffolk Sheep Private Sale Report

Although our lambs were unfortunately unable to attend this year’s Scottish Area Sale, we were delighted with the success of our private sale, which proved to be an excellent reward for the months of preparation and hard work that had gone into presenting the lambs.

Robert had invested an enormous amount of time and effort into preparing the team, and they were undoubtedly looking the best they have for many years. It was therefore particularly pleasing to see that dedication recognised by such a strong level of demand from buyers.

Leading the trade was FHT:26:02759, which sold for 12,300gns and will now join Paul Delves’ Bridgeview flock. This outstanding ram topped our sale and reflects the quality and consistency of this year’s offering.

The second highest-priced ram was FHT:26:02693, which sold for 2,700gns and has been purchased by Stewart Craft for the Lakeview flock.

Several other promising lambs also found excellent new homes. FHT:26:02741 joins Christine Slaven’s flock, FHT:26:02764 heads to the Speyside flock, and FHT:26:02706 will become part of the Alloaks flock. We wish all of their new owners every success with them in the years ahead.

5 lambs averaged 3530gns

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Lawrie and Symington and everyone who bought sheep from us, as well as to all the underbidders whose continued interest and support is greatly appreciated.

Last but not least an extra special thanks to Pieter and Bert for all their help with photos and preparations before hand (and sales pitch 😂)

One ram, FHT:26:02662, remains available after being unsold. He is a powerful, well-grown ram with plenty to offer, and we would encourage anyone still looking for a strong pedigree Suffolk ram to get in touch with us for further details.
