Addingham & District Sheep Breeders’ Association staged its 14th annual show and sale at Skipton Auction Mart when local farmer Chris Ryder stepped up with the supreme champion for the second year running, a North of England Mule wether lamb which netted a whopping £1,150 when later sold not once, but multiple times in aid of Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, Oxenhope. The victor was one of many lambs and additional sale items donated by ever-generous local farming communities, along with other kind-hearted individuals, and the West Yorkshire hospice this year benefited to the tune of £4,121 in total. The fact that this was on a par with last year’s overall figure proved a superb result when bearing in mind restrictions governing the reduced number of people currently allowed in auction mart sale rings in order to ensure safe distancing. Over the years, the seasonal showcase has raised over £50,000 for Sue Ryder Manorlands.
