Saturday 16th May - Carlisle Ewe with Lambs at foot sale & Dry Ewe Hoggs Sale
At a recent Council Tel-Conference they would like if at all possible to see this sale go ahead.
H&H have put in place an online bidding system - think eBay, where images of animals for sale can be viewed prior to the sale, once the sale is opened bids can be made for an allocated number of days - IF it is decided to go ahead full details will be given to vendors and purchasers.
IF you were thinking of selling at this sale and would like to enter PLEASE comment below with the number of entries your would be willing to put forward then we can see if viable to proceed. Would appreciate responses no later than Monday 6th April, thank you.

South West Beltex Club, Exeter Extravaganza Ewe with lambs at foot and empty ewe lambs sale, 24th April Cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Any further information can be obtained from contacting Russel Steer at Kivells 01392 251361 or Louise Elworthy on 07977 229065. Please stay safe.
Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Due to the deteriorating situation associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, and the government guidelines concerning social distancing and avoiding unnecessary travel.
The Society Office will be closed from 3.00pm today, Barbara and Kayley will be working from home (reduced office hours) for the next three weeks. This is difficult decision but a necessary one, and one not taken lightly.
Things are changing on a daily basis and we are in contact with the auction markets regarding sales, but they too are working from day to day, we hope that by the time for Society’s breed sales in August and September that things may be easier for all concerned.
It is saddening to see so many shows cancelling and it would not be a decision taken lightly by them but a necessary one to help stop the spread of the virus around the country.
Barbara will hopefully travel to the office on a weekly basis to pick up mail, and messages left on the landline, the preferred form of contact would be email or mobile.
We will keep putting out as much information that we know as soon as we can via website and facebook, twitter and Instagram.
We in the office – “virtual office” appreciate your support and understand that you too are having to amend your way of life, we hope you all keep safe and well in this mad, mad world we are inhabiting at this time.
