Draft Blackface ewes, 250 Blackface gimmers and 1,463 store lambs at
Dumfries on Saturday 18th September 2004.
A cautious trade prevailed with buyers being very selective and better
types of ewes looked to be worth the money. The overall average for draft
ewes was £29.04 a disappointing £9.72 down on the year.
Store lambs met a buoyant demand and many more could have been sold.
