Adrian Liggett’s female champion from the pre-sale show led the trade in the gimmer sale at Lanark when selling at 9000gns.
Sale topper, LIG2100618, is by Tullagh Dragon and is out of a Farmhill-bred dam by Strathbogie Best Bet which had been champion at Omagh Show in 2019 as a ewe lamb. She was knocked down to Hugh and Alan Blackwood for the Auldhouseburn flock, Muirkirk, Ayshire.
Second best at 6000gns was one from Robert Bennett, Plasucha, BFE2111026. She’s by Midlock Dynamo and out of a dam by the homebred Plasucha Boss Man and was first prize at Shropshire Show earlier in the year. Buying this one was Stewart Craft, Fife.
Close behind that at 5800gns was a gimmer from the Holylee flock of David Preacher. This Sportsmans Cannon Ball daughter is out of a dam by Auldhouseburn Billy The Kid and found a new home with Bruce Renwick, Castlecairn, Kelso.
Then making 5000gns was Gary Beacom’s best from Lakeview, LKV2108281. She’s by Castlecairn Doddlebug and is out of a Plasucha dam by Teiglum Braveheart. She sold to Graham Morrison for the Deveronvale flock, Aberdeenshire.

And making 3000gns was Gordon Gray’s first in from Ettrick, GGH2111197. This one had been reserve female champion in the pre-sale show and is by Douganhill Desperado and out of a dam by Midcombe Brigadier. She had been fifth at Great Yorkshire earlier in the year and heads to Monmouthshire with the Powell family, Monnow Hill.
A trio then made 2000gns apiece, with the first of these being from Gary Beacom in the form of LKV2108190. Sired by Castlecairn Doodlebug and out of a Teiglum Braveheart daughter she went home with Gary Scott, Bryn Y Coed, Denbighshire.
