Kelso Ram Sales 2017

2017 Kelso Ram Sale was great, having our own ring, where we offered our best run of excellent shearlings who without being overfed looked great. Buyers bid keenly from the very off. Whilst the sky-high prices of the previous year (£5,000) weren’t on the go, there were 7 consignors who sold at over the £1,000 barrier.

Results followed the show, ably judged by Mr Paul Slater with his champion selling at £3,000 from Mr R Rennie, Sydenham, who’s brilliant consignment of 22 ave a very impressive £1,284.

Leading prices and flock averages were: Sydenham £3,000, £2,500; Acreknowe Cottage £2,200 ave £850 for 9 sold.
