Sportsmans shearling ewe which sold for 40,000gns

Trade peaked at 40,000gns, a female record, for a shearling gimmer from T.J. and C.R. Boden's Sportsmans flock, Stockport.

The Salopian Solid Gold daughter out of the home-bred dam by Strathbogie A Kind of Magic, sold in-lamb to a 52,000gns Lakeview ram by Strathbogie Stallone, to Messrs Sharp, Tenbury, Wells.

Making 28,000gns and setting a new ewe lamb record was a Dunfell Dynamite daughter out of a Lakeview bred dam by Limestone Limited Edition from Myfor Evans' Rhaeadr flock, Denbigh.

The buyer was Stewart Craft, Fife. Its full-ET sister sold for 8,000gns to Messrs Oare, Holywell. Mr Evans averaged £9,513 for five ewe lambs.

Mr Evans then invested some of this into a shearling gimmer from the Sportsmans flock, paying 15,000gns for Salopian Gold daughter, out of a home-bred ewe by Castleisle Crackkerjack, which was in-lamb to the same sire as the sale topper. The Sportsmans flock had the top average of £13,965 for five shearling gimmers sold.
