CARLISLE SPRING STARS SALE
It has been confirmed from Harrison & Hetherington, Carlisle – The Managing Directors and Auctioneers, have just this afternoon decided that the Spring Stars Dorset sale will be cancelled this year. This decision has not been taken lightly but by daily monitoring of the ongoing situation and spread of the pandemic it is felt that this is the correct approach at this point in time.
2020 MAY FAIR
Very sadly, due to the ongoing situation with the Coronavirus, the very difficult decision has been made to cancel the May Fair. There is a possibility that if things are different by the Autumn, that a sale may be held at Exeter Livestock Centre.
In an effort to try and help we are still going to produce a sale catalogue for all May Fair entries, so that potential purchasers can see what is available. The normal entry conditions will still apply regarding the number of rams vendors are allowed to enter. The catalogue will be a much smaller version than normal as there will be no show etc.
All rams, individual females and sheep being entered in the registered section of pens of females must be registered in order for them to be entered into the catalogue.
Entries will be free for all members. All members will also be sent this information by email or post.
Entries will also be accepted from non members to put stock available in the purebred unregistered and/or Dorset first cross section.
There will be an entry fee of £10 + VAT for all non members entries.
When available the catalogue will be put on the Dorset Society website, www.dorsetsheep.org.uk.
If anybody would like a hard copy of the catalogue they would need to contact the breed secretary
If anyone is interested in any lot in the catalogue they will need to contact the vendor direct.
Please send your entries in by Monday, 6th April to: The Breed Secretary, 4 Dorchester Road, Grimstone, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 2NA, or alternatively on this occasion entries will be accepted from members by email.
If you have any queries please either e-mail: dorsetsheep@xlnmail.com or ring 01305 262126, where your call will be diverted to a mobile number.
