Hill Cheviot Ram Sale 2007
Monday 29th October 2007
With the sale being a month later than usual, the Hill Cheviot Ram sale took place at Lockerbie with a great interest in quality sheep.
The number of rams sold was slightly down on the year, once again a good turnout of Welsh purchasers helped to put a bottom in the trade.
The Overall average for the year was down £15.20 on the year at £619.07.
 |
| Catslackburn - £6,000 |
The top for the day was four bids of £6,000, one for a half share in a shearling ram from Catslackburn with the bid coming from Allan and Billy Common, Crossdykes. The ram is by Attonburn Charlie and had been used as a lamb and bred very successfully so Norman and David Douglas retained a half share.
The Castle Crawford flock of Robert and John Paton sold a shearling by Cooms Leader for £6,000 to Sandy Fleming, Hislop, Teviothead.
 |
| Crossdykes Duke - sold for £6,000 to John & Robert Paton, Castle Crawford |

The reserve Champion from Glendearg sold for £4,500 to Jim Robertson, Becks.
