The record breaker was  the pre-sale show champion, a ram lamb from Marion and William Porter's, Skelgate flock, Reeth.
Out of a Hewgill-bred ewe by Riddings L7 and by £12,000 Brennand S1, which was bought at Hawes last year, it sold to Messrs Ridley, Wark; Messrs Thornborrow, Stobo; Messrs Brown, Thornhill; and Messrs Shennan, Girvan.

Next, at £8,000, was Howgate T5, a ram lamb by Smearsett D15 Ted and out of a Carry House ewe by Ronaldo, from Jordan Rutter-Armstrong, Langwathby, which was knocked down to Allan and Sons, Dufton.

The pen from Martyn Archer, Wark, topped at £5,200 for T30 Carry House by Midlock Magic, sire of the champion and reserve plus top price at Hawes, which was out of a home-bred ewe by Steel Bruno. The buyer was J. Browell and Sons, Hexham.
Three ram lambs sold for £5,000. The first from W.M. Reed and Sons' West Biggins flock, Westgate, was a son of Spurrig P2, which sold to David Hill, Asby.

Next, from John and Callum Park's Forebrae flock, Sanquhar, was a lamb by an Alwinton ram, which went home with Messrs Hamilton, Abington.

The final £5,000 bid was for another son of Midlock Magic, this time from J. Hunter and Sons' Steel flock, Bellingham, which sold to Messrs English, Wark.

Shearling rams topped at £4,000 for W.H. and D.A. Gass' Nunscleugh flock, Bewcastle, with a son of Carry House R5, which went to Messrs Nicholson and Son, Carlisle.
