TWO generations of a Steeton farming family went head-to-head in a shearling ram show.

And siblings Terry and Beverley Fort got the better of their parents Graham and Mandy, with their animal Fort Energizer winning its class and the championship title.

The family, from Brighton House Farm, was competing in the Lleyn Sheep Society annual registered show and sale at Skipton Auction Mart.

Fort Energizer – which is among the first crop of shearlings by Lochar Clansman, bought by the Forts two years ago – sold for the day's top price of 1,000 guineas, or £1,050.

Terry and Beverley received both the Green Farm Health Cup and the Fort Cup, donated several years ago by Graham, chairman of the North & East England Lleyn Sheep Breeders Club.

Organisers said the sale, the society's last of the year, was a huge success.

There were shearling ram and ewe lamb sections.

"We finished on a buoyant note – with many new buyers around the ring looking for both breeding females and rams," said Heather Stoney-Grayshon, for the society.

"While buyers were selective, the smaller and younger ewe lambs could find homes at above store market prices."
