SILSDEN Moor’s Ken and Lynne Throup, of Woofa Bank Farm, won the hill bred lambs supreme championship with their first prize North of England Mules at Skipton Auction Mart’s annual Christmas show. (Mon, Dec 14) The Throups clinched the title with a trio of 56kg wether lambs by tups bred by their daughter and son-in-law, Rachael and Ashley Caton, whose own local Otterburn Lodge flock has itself claimed multiple North of England Mule Sheep Association ewe lamb championships at Skipton’s annual September highlights. The Throups, who have been breeding prize-winning Mules at Woofa Bank for the past 44 years – with their sons Ian and Martin they also run a large commercial dairy herd - saw their festive hill lamb title winners first receive the Anthony Dean Perpetual Challenge Trophy for the best pen on the day, presented in memory of the former Craven Cattle Marts chairman from Threshfield.
