Lanark In-Lamb Sale
Saturday 9th December 2006
The Beltex sale of females held at Lanark saw a good clearance of numbers
forward and was followed by the dispersal of Jock Allan's Southolm
flock.
The show judge, John Barclay, Mid Brockloch, Maybole, Ayr awarded the championship
to Garrion Justina, a gimmer consigned by Shanks & Thom, Bowmanhurst,
Carluke. Sired by Grimmeur v/d Harlembois out of Longley Belinda, and in-lamb
to King Kong, she was bid to 1,600gns by J Collinge, Whitehill Cottage, Middlebie,
Lockebie, buying her as a first birthday present for his one-year-old son
James Eric.
John Cowan's Brickrow flock from Auchincruive, Ayr provided the
day's top trade with a 2,100gns bid from Marshall Farms, Lamberhurst, Kent,
for the reserve champion, Brickrow Howfar Tracy. This one-crop ewe
was sired by Headlind Ee By Gum out of Brickrow Esprit is in-lamb
to Cookstown Hamish.
The same dam featured in another of the day's top prices when Brickrow Jumping
Bean, a gimmer sired by a Glebe-bred tup, and carrying lambs to Mustang,
the flock's new stock tup, was knocked down at 1,300gns to Anglesey breeder,
C Parry, Fron Farm, Beaumaris. The Brickrow pen also produced the top-priced
gimmer, Brickrow Jade, selling at 1,700gns to J Hedley, Redmyle Farm, Thorne,
Doncaster. This Ee By Gum daughter out of Brickrow Dolly, was scanned in-lamb
to Cookstown Hamish. The Brickrow pen also provided the day's top price for
a ewe lamb when Aberdeenshire breeder John McLean, Mains of Culsh, New Deer,
paid, 700gns for Brickrow Klassic, a daughter of Cookstown Hamish out of
Brickrow Hits Only Money.
Brickrow breeding also featured in the top-priced members of the pen consigned
by Easter Ross breeder John Scott, Fearn Farm, Tain. The pen topper at 1,200
gns was Fearn Jailbird, a Brickrow High Action-sired gimmer out of Fearn
Flirt. Carrying lambs by Horseclose Juggernaut, she was knocked down to North
Yorkshire breeder T Hunter, New Town Farm, Hunmanby, Filey.
Heading to South Wales, was Fearn Honor, a one-crop ewe in-lamb to Juggernaut.
Sired by Ian's Good Buy out of Brickrow Excelsius, she is full sister to
Fearn Honeybee, last year's sale champion, and maternal sister to the 5,200gns
Fearn Gladiator. The successful bidder at 1,150gns was Michael Owen, Glantre,
Pontsian, Llandysul, whose Beltex X lambs lifted the supreme championship
