Blackface rams peak at £60,000

 Leading the way was a shearling from the Bennies, brothers Willie and Ewan, and their families, Gartocharn. The son of a £70,000 Dalchirla ram out of a dam by a £14,000 Glenrath was knocked down to Malcolm Coubrough, Crawford; Jimmy Wallace, Dalry; John Finlay, Corsock; and the Ramsays, Dalry.
The second top price of £11,000 was paid for a shearling from Alan Smith's Wester Crosswoodhill flock, West Calder. By a £4,000 Craigdarroch, it sold to A. and J. MacPherson, Dores, and A. MacDonald, Ess and Dalbuiack, Carrbridge.

Jimmy and Donald MacGregor, Milton of Campsie, received £10,000 for a son of a £12,000 Dyke, which went to Colin McClymont, Newton Stewart, and Rob Hannah, Stranraer.

Another to hit the £10,000 mark was a shearling from the Dunlop family's Elmscleugh flock, Dunbar. The son of £125,000 Nunnerie went to Chirmorrie Farm, Barrhill, Girvan.

 The 114 ram lambs averaged £936, back by £19 on last year, with trade peaking at £6,000 twice. Firstly, for a ram lamb from Eoin Blackwood, Dalblair, which was a son of a £22,000 Dyke and sold to J. Graham and Son, Kirkton, Penicuik. The other was son of a Rock ram from Richard Carruthers, Thornhill, which sold to W. Stevenson and Son, Ballantrae, and N.S.P. Parry, Carsphairn.
