An entry of 80 lambs were forward in three age classes (0-7,
8-11, 12-16) and were ably judged by Steven Wilson, of Wilson Butchers
Ltd, Corby Hill, Carlisle.
The first 3 prize lambs went forward for the overall championship
for which the Taylor family from Englishtown donated a new trophy in memory
of the late Hugh Taylor who was a past Chairman of the Market.
The sale of the lambs was buoyant and all the regular buyers
remained within the ring to help support the youngsters.
The overall championship was awarded to the winner of the
0 – 7 age group and was a 43 kilo Beltex x Lamb from Thomas Hope,
Albierigg, Canonbie which realised £88 (204.6p kilo) and was purchased
by Wm Kirkup, Butchers, Longtown. First prize in the 8 – 11 yr olds
was Ian Carlisle, Nether Dargavel, Collin for a Texel x Lamb scaling 46
kilo and realising £76 (165.2p kilo), also to Wm Kirkup. First prize
12 – 16 yr olds was Thomas Illingworth, Howgillside, Eaglesfield,
Lockerbie for a Texel x lamb scaling 49 kilo and realising £72 (146.9p
kilo) to Border Meats, Lockerbie.
