The popular fixture again included a prize show of Masham gimmer shearlings on behalf of the Masham Sheep Breeders Association, with Keith Liddle, of JB Liddle & Son, Stainburn, near Otley, runner-up in 2005, going one better this year when exhibiting the champion ten-strong pen.

They sold for £152 per head to CA Potter, of Pocklington, York, who also purchased the 2005 champions at £95 each. The first four pens in class this year all achieved three figure prices.

The mule shearlings section was headed by JD & E Clarkson, of East Witton, with the first prize winners making £94 apiece when sold to GA Verity, of Masham.
