"THE best hoggs I have seen all year" said the judge, Les Thackray of Clayton Farm, Mickley, Ripon, of this champion pen of Mule hoggs with lambs, left, at the annual show and sale of ewes, shearlings, gimmer hoggs and hoggs with lambs at Craven Cattle Marts' Skipton mart on Monday.
The pen, from C M and E M Gratton, of Warsill Hall Farm, Warsill, was paraded in the ring by sheep and dairy farmer Malcom Gratton and his 21-year-old daughter Claire. Mr Thackray later bought the pen, at £160 for each family of mother and offspring.
