For his money he receives a son of the 30,000gns Howgillfoot Commander and out of a Limestone ewe by the 26,000gns Forkins McCoy.

Early in the day, Myfyr Evans of the Rhaeadr flock, based in Denbigh received 18000gns for his homebred son, Rhaeadr Northern Champ and is the first ram lamb to be sold off the 16,000gns Kings ewe lamb. Heading back to Wales with Arnold Oare, Groes flock, Holywell.

Messrs Hutchinson were also receiving 15,000gns for another Howgillfoot Commander son, this time out of a homebred dam sired by Crewelands Captain Crusader. He joins the Sportsmans flock with Charlie and Tom Boden.

The Pre-Sale Show Reserve Champion sold for 12,000gns for Messrs Gibb, Cairnton flock based in Fraserburgh. By the €20,000 Annakisha Bright Ewe, his homebred dam is sired by the Bridgeview Belvenie. He sold in a five-way share to Messrs Douglas, Cairness; Messrs Stuart, Birness; Messrs Paterson, Cranorskie; Messrs Arnott, Haymount; and the vendor retained an equal share.

At 11,000gns, Messrs Delves from the Bridgeview flock at Powys sold their Limestone Online son – who was Sire of the Year 2024. Out of a homebred dam by the Solwaybank Rock Solid, he heads to Wales to join the Rhaeadr flock at Denbigh.

The last five-figure price was also from the Bridgeview flock and realised 10,000gns. Sired by the 11,000gns Limestone Dare Devil, and out of a homebred dam by Sportsmans Masterplan. He joins brother and sister duo, Iain and Judith Barbour of the Solwaybank flock at Annan.
