Dartmoor Sheep Breeders Association 88th Annual Show and Sale

Exeter Market on Friday 2nd September 2011

Rams Judged by Miss C Nugent and Ewes judged by Mr M Waycott

28 registered rams forward at this premier annual event for the breed, together with just 18 females.
A solid and steady trade experienced for what was generally regarded as the best overall show of rams seen at the sale for many years. Spectacular highs of recent years were absent but a very strong overall demand throughout the sale gave an almost total clearance and an average of £245 for males and £182 for females (£199 for ewe hogs).
Top priced ram exhibited by Mr.  & Mrs. Graham Hampstead, Boston, Lincs, and standing 2nd in the hog ram class, sold for £546 to H. Meerbeek, Buxton, Derbyshire. Champion of the show, a hog ram exhibited by Derek Mortimore, Chagford made £504 to Anne Willcocks, Ivybridge, whilst John Mead, South Brent exhibited the Reserve Champion, a 6-tooth ram bred by Brailsford & Kirkham, Chagford, also realising £504, the buyer being P. L. Heard, Okehampton. This animal took first prize in the Wool and Aged Ram classes.
Many pairs of ewe hogs sold at £210 a piece, with Mr. & Mrs. J. Hampstead taking top show place and Mr. J. Mead reserve.
