To everyone going to the sale on Friday, don't forget you have to let the mart know in advance that you will be there.  This is for Test and Trace.  There should be a form on the L&S website but inevitably the only one available is for a Texel sale which has been and gone.  We shall phone the office on Monday to check.
Masks must be worn in the sales ring.

Good isn't it, but a long wait if you're looking at Hebrideans!!

L&S have now decided that we can just give details on arrival at the door for Test and Trace.

My thoughts exactly  ;D.   There is a Hungarian (I think) breed with 2 barley-sugar-pole horns.  Maybe it's them?

(quick consult of Mr Google....)

Markhor and Racka - google them and see  :o   I've suddenly become interested  :thinking:
