All classes of store lambs were very keenly bid for selling to £40.50 for a pen of Texels from Tundergarth Mains. Hill Cheviots were a flyer and sold to £40 for a pen from M/s J Halliday, Cowburn, Corrie. Many more store lambs could have been sold to advantage.

At the Firms annual sale of pedigree Texel Rams, a small but quality offering met an animated demand and would sell far better than last year. The show, which was kindly sponsored by MacMin Ltd, was judge by Mr Gordon Rae, Muirhead, who awarded the Championship to M/s R & J Orsborne, Castlehill, Durisedeer and then went on to back his decision by purchasing at £580.
