Leyburn Auction Mart

Teeswaters top at 1200gns at Association sale

The Annual Show and Sale of registered Teeswater sheep sponsored by Agrimin took place on 3rd October 2026 at Leyburn Auction Mart, with Mr David Wallis of Park Top presiding as Judge.

The overall championship was awarded to K & S Tyson for their first-prize shearling ram, which later realised 800gns. Bainbridge Bros of Marrick Abbey secured first prize in the ram lamb class. Their winning entry was also awarded the Alec Lambert Memorial Shield before selling for 1,200gns to Leazes Farm.

Bainbridge Bros also led the female section, achieving the day's top female price of 820gns for a gimmer lamb. Meanwhile, gimmer shearlings reached 800gns for an entry from Dr G & K Horner. The sale once again highlighted the exceptional quality of registered Teeswater sheep, attracting buyers from as far afield as Devon. Renowned breeders presented some of the finest examples of the breed, generating strong demand and a buoyant trade throughout.

Auctioneer Jack Pickup described the sale as a resounding success. He said the decision to move the event to a Saturday had proved highly beneficial, with the sale ring bustling with both new and familiar faces. Strong competition was sustained across the entire entry, resulting in a clearance rate of almost 100%.

The Association would like to thank Leyburn Auction Mart staff for their hard work as well as the Elaine, Claire and Team in Leyburn Mart Canteen. This year the Association had been able to send all the 2025 buyers a voucher for a Complimentary Bacon roll to be spent at this years sale and it proved a roaring success with great trade all day in the canteen.

For those eagerly awaiting the announcement of who won the Golden Prize Draw to win £100 back from the association on your winning bid, we will be making the draw at our next committee meeting in Mid November.

Thanks must also go to Agrimin for sponsoring the Association & Sale in 2026, their generous support of the workings of the Association is very much appreciated.
