Carlisle Border Leicester In Lamb Sale 2021

With the sale slightly subdued because of Covid restrictions there were several buyers bidding online.  The sale start was slightly delayed by technical issues, but matters were soon resolved.  At the end of the day there were a few buyers who were unable to purchase females within their budget.  There were also a few buyers who went onto become members of the Society which was most encouraging.
