Irish raider Matthew Burleigh saw his second prize
shearling ewe go on to claim the top price of 1200gns at
the Northern Beltex Club’s Show and Sale at CCM Skipton
Auction Marts on Saturday, 16 December.
That was his substitute entry, Matt’s Hendricks, which is by the
14,000gns Murrays Expert and bred from Matt’s Ebony, herself
a Hackney Download daughter. In-lamb to a loaned Welsh lamb,
Hendricks was knocked down for that top price to Henry Bailey
for his Long Lee flock near Keighley.
Mr Burleigh, from Shanra, Enniskillen, also welcomed a 900gns
call from the Findlay Family for Matt’s High Maintenance ET
which they take back to their Westerdale Flock near Whitby. Her
pedigree features Buckles Fizzy Pop and Matt’s Deeteebee.
A further two Fizzy Pop-sired gimmers made 700gns apiece with
Matt’s Hetty ET selling to AM Leach, Hebden Bridge, and Matt’s
Hoot Hoot ET selling to Jonathan Frankland, Giggleswick.
The Champion from the pre-sale show, Tercrosset Hannah from
the Whiteford family from near Brampton, sold to Daniel
Thackray, of the Prospect House Flock near Fewston, for
1000gns. Sired by Artnagullion Feux, she is out of the Woodies
Bobbydazzler-bred Tercrosset Daisy.
With a total of six shearling ewes making 600gns apiece, the
other four of these all came from the Tercrosset Flock. The
Fenwicks of Knaith, Gainsborough, paid that for Tercrosset
Hubba Bubba while NG and KM Beveridge bought both
Tercrosset Hokey Cokey and Tercrosset Hazel.
The final 700gns gimmer was Tercrosset Haven which was
snapped up by JA Drake, Denholme.
