“While we aim to produce the type of gimmers that we know will go on and work hard for our buyers, we have been delighted with the feedback from last season’s purchasers. Whether they were sourced at our on farm sale to bring into a flock for replacements or as recipients for ET work,” James explains.

A regular buyer at the Jalex Gimmer sale are McEldowney Brothers, Maghera who select from the top drawer on offer each year. They have been delighted with how their gimmers perform each season and their ability to produce superior quality lambs which in turn are snapped up each year. The McEldowneys have an eye for quality and want to source flock replacements that will do the business for them. With this in mind there will be something for absolutely everyone with a range of females on offer including Suffolk x Cheviot Mules, Suffolk x Cheviot, Cheviot Mules, Texel x Mules, Texel x Suffolk, Pedigree Texel, Beltex x Cheviot Mules, Mules, Charollais x Beltex and Border Leicester. All will be Enzo and Toxo vaccinated.

Catering will be in place on the farm, and everyone is welcome to view stock from 5pm on sale day. James Little from H&H will be in the rostrum, and for those who wish to bid from home please register on marteye via Harrison and Hetherington. All stock are eligible for export to GB.
