CARLISLE SEPTEMBER SALE
22
SEPTEMBER
TOP HONOUR FOR AINSTABLE FLOCK
Shearling averages improved on the year for both rams and
gimmers at the Beltex Sheep Society’s sale at Harrison and
Hetherington’s Borderway centre on Friday, 22 September,
where trade peaked at 2400gns for a shearling ewe from a
local consignor.
Leading the way was Brian Hall’s second prize gimmer and
Reserve Female, Ainstable Honour ET from his Ainstable-based
flock. Sired by the same Kingledores Engleburt that bred the
30,000gns Kingledores Hammer sold at the Premier Sale the
previous month, Honour’s daM is Ainstable Barge, a Woodies
Wicked daughter. She sold to the judge, Alan Miller, of the Lurg
Flock near Midmar, Inverurie.
Alan paid a further 1600gns to secure his pick of Supreme
Champion, a shearling ewe named Ainstable Happy ET also from
Mr Hall. Again by the Kingledores ram, she is out of the Black
Jack Casanova-sired Ainstable Effective.
Matching that 1600gns was yet another Engleburt daughter in
the shape of Ainstable Humorous ET, which is this time out of
the Withy Trees Automatic Monkey-bred Ainstable Danube. She
sold to Brian Ryder for his Ryder Flock near Annan Water, Moffat.
The male offering reached 2000gns for the Male Champion that
also stood Reserve Supreme, Pointhouse Hard To Beat ET from
father and son team, Michael and Kile Diamond, from Carhill
Road, Garvagh, County Londonderry. A result of the prolific flush
between Murrays Expert and the Belvoir View Cadillac Jack-sired
Artnagullion Enghantress, he sold to Malcolm Reid, Alloa.
