LANARK IN-LAMB SALE
119
A trio of 2000gns sales included Heatheryhall High & Mighty ET
selling to Andy Ireland, Feoch Flock, Darvel; Heatheryhall
Heather to Stuart Robson, Galashiels; and the dearest of the ewe
lambs, Heatheryhall Jelly Bean ET, which sold to Cameron
Cormack for his Dunrod Flock near Jedburgh.
This February-born embryo is a full sister to the aforementioned
Jumanji, being out of Heatheryhall Fiona and sired by Woodies
Hulk.
The main sale saw two from Gordon Harrison, Carnwath, Lanark,
lead the way at 2500gns and 2100gns, both of which were of
the same breeding as the leading Heatheryhall gimmers. At
2500gns was Gordy’s Hola Hoop ET, from the same Dark Dawn
x Lurg Ella flush as the 5000gns Heatheryhall Helena ET.
Hola Hoop stood Reserve Champion at the pre-sale show and
was knocked down for that 2500gns to the judge, Grant
Maxwell, for his Faughhill Flock, Melrose, carrying a pair to
Kingledores Braveheart.
A full sister named Gordy’s Haagen-daz ET sold also scanned with
twins to Kingledores Braeheart, this time to Euan Lawrie for the
Grangehall Flock, Pettinain, Lanark, for 2100gns.
The day’s Champion, Callacrag Heidi ET from Andrew Baillie,
Carstairs, also sold to Grant Maxwell, this time for 1000gns.
Carrying a single to the 3500gns Tullylagan Jaguar, her pedigree
features the home-bred Callacrag Godzilla on to Callacrag
Caprice, a Hackney Braveheart daughter.
Andrew welcomed a further 900gns for the Clary Dumfries-sired
Callacrag Hope and Glory ET, and 800gns for the Callacrag
Godzilla daughter, Callacrag Highlight, both of which were AI’d
to Tullylagan Jaguar. The former sold to William McMillan for
his Carse Flock near Newton Stewart scanned with twins, and
the latter sold carrying a single to JG Maxwell and Sons,
Dumfries.
