After the Tinwald sale! more than 2000 Border Leicester - Romney ewe ; lambs were offered on the property of the Westmere | Farming Company atj Dromore. It was the second year that the sale had been held on the farm. They were a notable line; of young sheep being big and very well bred and ‘ weaned about four weeks and it was obvious that buyers had in mind mating them as ewe lambs. They represented the ’ entire ewe lamb drop on the place, except for a few that were bom late.
