Leek's Multi‑Breed Sheep Show & Sale offers a curated mix of cross‑breeding ewes, highlighting the market's interest in genetic diversity.

Later in the week, Aberdeen & Northern Marts runs a Rare Breed Livestock Sale, drawing attention to heritage flocks and niche markets. On September 18, Cundalls presents an Early Breeding Sheep Sale at Wombleton Airfield, featuring Moor and Down Cross breeding ewes, a clear sign that breeders are positioning for the upcoming lambing season.
