CARLISLE MAY SALE 2024
MALES
With the Supreme Champion going on to sell for the top price of 25,000gns, trade was backed up by a strong
demand from commercial buyers as four of the five-figure prices bulls sold to commercial producers.
Taking Supreme Championship but also the top price of
25,000gns was Almeley Shaggy, from the Morgan family,
Tillington. He caught the eye of Will Sedgley, of the
Langstroth Herd near Barbon, Carnforth, in the pre-sale
show and it was Kevin and Sonya Fletcher who paid the
top price to take him home to work in their Coul Herd near
Laggan in north Perthshire.
The Morgans claimed the second highest price of
16,000gns when their Almeley Sterling also sold north,
this time to Smallburn Farms, Duffus, Elgin, with Andy
Anderson. This dark blue road lad was by Gass Okay and
out of Almeley Kiera, a Drybarrows Cawdale daughter.
Two sold for 12,000gns apiece with the first of these being
Maes Supernova, the Reserve Senior Champion from the
Jones family from Cerrig-Y-Drudion, Corwen. A two-year-
old black and white bull, he is the result of a flush between
Colos Van Daisel and the Kilowatt D’Ochain-sired Ridge
Dean Jasmine. Forking out the cash were renowned show
calf producers from Cumbria, John Smith-Jackson and Neil
Hardisty.
The other at 12,000gns was Blair and Shona Comrie’s
Stonebyres Saracen, selling to the team at Aucheneck
