Females from Alfie and Ann Taylor’s Heatheryhall Flock once
again proved to be the star attraction at the Beltex Scotland
sale at Lawrie and Symington’s Lanark Centre on Saturday,
9 December, when shearling ewes from the Heatheryhall
Production sale topped at 5000gns.
Leading the way was the very first lot on offer from the
Thankerton, Biggar-based flock in the shape of Heatheryhall
Helena ET, a daughter of the 30,000gns Buckles Dark Dawn bred
from the 5000gns Lurg Ella, a Bailey Brook CR7 daughter. This
stock gimmer that was second at Lesmahagow and best bred by
exhibitor at Carnwath sold to Alan Miller of the Lurg Flock near
Midmar, Inverurie, carrying twins to the 20,000gns Curwen Hill
Golden Boy.
Next best at 4600gns when sold over the phone to Stuart Wood
for his Woodies flock, Skene, Westhill, was Heatheryhall Heidi
which also scanned twins but this time to the 42,000gns Todhall
Hercules. Buying back some of his own breeding, this Woodies
Storm daughter is out of the Dark Dawn-bred Heatheryhall
Felicity.
Hitting 4000gns was Heatheryhall Hazel ET which offers some
different breeding being by Wannop’s Godfather and out of
another Dark Dawn daughter in the shape of Heatheryhall Fiona
which also bred the 4000gns Heatheryhall Jumanji sold in
August. Scanned with twins to Curwen Hill Golden Boy, she was
knocked down to Andrew Wainwright for his Todhall Flock near
Cupar.
Andrew paid a further 2400gns for another from the Dark Dawn
x Lurg Ella flush in the shape of Heatheryahll Honey Bee ET,
which this time scanned triplets to Todhall Hercules.
New breeder, Neil Wattie, from Alford, forked out 3400gns and
3000gns for two carrying twins to Todhall Hercules. First and
making 3400gns was the Dark Dawn-sired Heatheryhall Halle
ET which is out of the Quarrymount William Wallace daughter,
Heatheryhall Diamond.
At 3000gns was Heatheryhall Honeysuckle whose dam is the
Airyolland Castro-bred Wilodge Foxglove while her sire is
Ardstewart Fred Flintstone.
Kenny O’Connor paid 2200gns to take Heatheryhall High ET,
another by Dark Dawn, home to his Kenny’s Flock near Carstairs
Junction, Lanark. Bred from the William Wallace daughter,
Heatheryhall Buttercup, she also scanned twins to the Todhall
ram.
