Clipping facilities will be available from 8.00am and it would be extremely helpful if lambs could arrive as early as possible to ensure the shearers are kept going, and hold ups are avoided.   All attempts to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.  If it would help vendors by delivering lambs on a Monday, lairage facilities are available.

Next Store Lamb sale will be held on Saturday 7^th January 2017.  Early entries are advised.
