Skipton's charity sale raises £3,560

Addingham and District Sheep Breeders Association's 17th charity show and sale at Skipton raised £3,560 in aid of Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, Oxenhope, which has now benefited from approaching £65,000 since the winter highlight's inception.

 In total, 21 lambs, predominantly North of England Mule wethers, were donated for sale by regional farmers.
