"The Highlands premier show and sale of Highland scotch mule gimmers and ewe lambs was once again kindly sponsored by the Highland mule breeders association. Judging proceedings in the gimmer section this year were in the hands of sale regular James Munro, Pitkerrie Farm. He picked his champion from D & D M Leslie, Redhill top pen of 20. Our judge backed his decision ands purchased them for £260, with the same home achieving this price for three of their pens. Top price of the day however went to Ballindalloch home farm whose second prize pen of 20 realised £265 being knocked down to Iain Wilson, Cairnglass.

The ewe lambs were topped by an outstanding pen of 20, just oozing in quality from Brian Johnstone, Achnabat which were knocked down to Ballindalloch Home Farm.
