GISBURN Auction Marts held its annual show and sale of Mule shearlings.
Judges Andrew Bailey and Sarah Aynan, of Eldroth, picked out a pen of powerful home bred shearlings from Alan Butler, Earby as first prize.
And Andrew went on to back his judgement by purchasing the winners for £200.
Thomas Binns, of Downham, claimed the second prize spot and later sold for £190.
Margaret Watkinson’s journey from Sessay, Thirsk, was fruitful, picking up third prize and going on to sell for £170.
Other notable prices included WA Towler, of Grindleton, at £184, £168 & £162 and JC & I Walton, of Hellifield, who achieved £164 twice. Plenty of other pens of shearlings sold in excess of £150 and an overall average of £155 for all Mule shearlings was achieved.
