The first lots in the ring were donated to charity, with a cheque being presented to The Beacon Centre at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.
A shearling ewe from the Blackmore family saw the hammer fall at 340gns, purchased by Mr W Howard, Exford.
A ram lamb donated by Gary Atkins and family saw spirited bidding ending with 1360gns total and finally going home with Messrs JR Richards & Son, Porlock.
Angie Andrews, Fran Willes and Alison Habberfield wish to thank everyone who supported the cake sale in aid of The Beacon Centre, Musgrove Park Hospital. A total of £427.50 was raised and there are plans for another cake sale this month.
The sale also included a judging demonstration and an 'Introduction to Exmoor Horns' workshop.
