Skipton's charity sale raises £3,560

Addingham and District Sheep Breeders Association's 17th charity show and sale at Skipton raised £3,560 in aid of Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, Oxenhope, which has now benefited from approaching £65,000 since the winter highlight's inception.

 In total, 21 lambs, predominantly North of England Mule wethers, were donated for sale by regional farmers.

The championship to Craven Cattle Marts chairman and past NEMSA national chairman Kevin Wilson, Blubberhouses.The title-winning Mule wether lamb went on to make £1,070 after, as in past years, being sold and returned to the ring several times by kind-hearted bidders.

 Back in the show, runner-up was Richard Mawson, Addingham, his lamb making £120, third the Walker family, Appletreewick, their charge away at £115, and fourth Ellis Bros, Addingham Moorside, whose lamb also sold for £120.
