CARLISLE MAY SALE 2024
FEMALES
Quality shone among the female entry as stylish females with show potential met the best of the trade and
having passed through the ring unsold, it was Kevin Watret’s Solway View Stella that sold out the back for the top
price of 7,500gns, bred from Solway View Elegance and sired by General De L’Ecluse, she sold across the water to
Corrigan Loughcrew Enterprises, Meath, Ireland.
Close behind on 7,000gns when knocked down to an
undisclosed buyer was Solway View Sunlight, a first prize
winner from the AgriExpo and LiveScot. Born in October,
2022, her pedigree includes Colos Van Daisel on to
another consistent breeder, the Solway View Firecracker-
sired Solway View Kesha.
A couple lots later and Solway View Sydney was one of
three heifers to sell for 5,500gns when she was knocked
down to Messrs Hunter, Insch, Aberdeenshire.
Matching that 5,500gns was another Kesha daughter, this
time Solway View Tesha that was Champion at the English
Winter Fair. Selling to Messrs Simpson, Hope Valley,
Derbyshire, her sire is Felicien De Courriaulx.
The Morgan family was back in the spotlight when their
14-month-old Almeley Tangerine sold for the second
highest female price of 7,200gns to Messrs Owens,
Shobdon, Leominster. This flashy red heifer is by Negrita
Du Lac and out of Almeley Miss Unique.
