The second best price for a gimmer was pounds 483, paid by J Hall of Wellhouse, Rothbury. |
The fell has a small sharp summit, below which rises Gimmer Crag, which is one of the top rock climbing venues in the Lake District. |
Andrew and Sam Froggatt, Froggys Farm, Abbots Bromey, sold their Millend Whirlpool sired gimmer for 1000gns to MSH Benson, Horrace Farm, Pennington, Ulverston. |
Loft Crag and Gimmer Crag steal the attention in the foreground while Bowfell impresses across Langdale. |
Another local farmer, Neil Heseltine, from Malham, was awarded a prize for his local pair of mule gimmer lambs. |
The order of sale will be slightly different in that first will come the gimmer shearlings followed by breeding ewes then store lambs and, finally, tups. |
