More than 10,000 breeding sheep were forward for United Auctions’ sale at Stirling on Tuesday, where prices peaked at £200 per head on two occasions.
A Scotch Mule ewe lamb from George Donald, North Denhead, first made that money selling to K Dickson, Stewiebank, and a pen of 10 Texel cross Beltex gimmers from Dalchirla Farms, sold for the same price per head to Messrs Weir, Whitfield.
