Addington Fund, Manorlands, and Brooklands Community Special School in Skipton shared the proceeds of a record amount of £5,000 at charity auction staged alongside Skipton Auction Mart’s annual Christmas Primestock shows earlier this month.
The charity highlights formed part of Skipton’s fortnightly Wednesday Top Tags Animal ID-sponsored sheep sale of 3,143 head, the majority store lambs, which met a cracking trade throughout to average £63.12 overall.
Generous farmers donated 25 lambs in total, the majority again North of England Mules, which were judged by breed stalwarts, husband and wife Geoffrey and Valerie Porter, who run the Riddings flock in Reeth.
We are grateful to the organisers and participants of this fabulous charity day.
