Today at our Christmas show and sale we had some absolutely tremendous lambs forward both in the show classes and in the commercial pens with just shy of 130 lambs and 80 ewes forward. The sale was very well supported with vendors, buyers, and onlookers even with the difficulty of Stamford bridge being closed. All at YAC would like to thank the judge Mr Harry Bromwich and all the vendors and buyers today and for your support throughout the year, we couldn’t trade without you!
