Following another bumper autumn sales season, attention is quickly turning to this year’s in-lamb sales, with the first sales now just weeks away.
As ever, these sales, spread the length and breadth of the UK offer a range of opportunities for those looking to either establish new flocks or refresh the genetics of existing flocks.
This year’s season sees just shy of 20 sales take place across the UK, offering a wide selection of genetics from many flocks, with many sales also offering both older ewes and ewe lambs alongside the plethora of in-lamb gimmers that will be available.
The variety of females on offer and the breadth of breeding available will mean that these sales will offer sheep to suit every taste and budget.
Full details of all in-lamb sales, which are catalogued using the Society’s iTexel database, can be found on the Sales page of the Society website.
Each of these female sales offers both new and established breeders the opportunity to secure new genetics to help progress their flocks.
Existing members purchasing females at the in-lamb sales should use iTexel to transfer them to their flock ahead of lambing to ensure they can birth notify their progeny. New members can join the Society here.
