However, it was Lampkin family of Silsden, better known internationally as world champions in the sport of Motocross that topped the sale at 262, with their Texel shearlings with twins at foot. The much anticipated first appearance of the season from regular York vendor, Chris Craven did not disappoint, when he sold his smart Texel ewes with twins lambs at foot for 245 and Texel ewes with single lambs at foot for 170 a family or 85 a life. Generally, the Mule ewes with lambs at foot on offer did not have youth on their side, with the majority broken mouthed. However, those with twins sold regularly in the bracket. Whilst the majority of twin Texel families sold in excess of 200 and Suffolk crosses just below. The packed ringside crowd, created a flurry of bids when the 33 spare lambs came under the hammer, selling to a high of 30 to average Demand for in-lamb sheep continued with ewes scanned for twins selling between range. Even this late on in the season, buyers for a whole range of store hoggs were present. Topping this section at 108 was a smart pen of Texel hoggs from Cheshire, down to a bottom of 29 for some longer keep Herdwicks sent down from the Lake District.
