DSS(UK) Breed Sales

  • 30th August at H&H, Carlisle - Premier Sale
We were delighted with how our selected sheep were looking ahead of the first sale of the year, and even although I personally don't look forward to selling any, we are excited to see what the sale would bring.

The pre-sale show results:
♦️1st Shearling ram Lochlad Braveheart
♦️2nd Ram Lamb Lochlad Commander
♦️2nd Ewe lamb Lochlad Cuckoo

Big thank you to Edward Adamson for his expert judging and well done to the Tiptop flock for winning champion & reserve.


Our Top Sale Prices:
♦️Lochlad Cuckoo 3500gns
(top priced ewe lamb and second highest of the sale)
♦️Lochlad Braveheart 1500gns
(second equal top priced shearling ram)
♦️Lochlad Commander 1100gns
(first equal top priced ram lamb)


Cuckoo was one of the three triplets forward for the sale, out of our exceptional breeding ewe Woolmaa, who raised all three with no additional help.
We have high hopes for this stunning lamb and look forward to seeing her progress and within the show circuit next year for her new owners.

We were delighted that all our 12 sale lots have found new homes and wish our loyal and new purchasers all the very best of luck. Please do keep in touch as its great to hear how they are getting on.

Our pedigree sale average for the 8 Dutch Spotted sheep we took was just under 1250gns
