We go to quite a few of the Swaledale tup sales in the Autumn. Some of those make ridiculous money. £65k was the highest I have seen in person at Hawes last year but I believe 1 has broken the 100k barrier at some point.. Although you do have to take into account some of those sales you get farmer friends working together to bump their rams prices up to boost their profiles and stock prices for those sired by said tups. Farmer A will buy from B, B from C and C from A up to a preset price or they all chip in to buy a ram off one of their own and then share its use. Things sell better if you say its sired by a 65k tup.
