A trio of charity lots offered at Texel female sales at Lanark last weekend have raised more than £7000 for a range of charities.
Selling for 3000gns was a gimmer offered by Archie and John MacGregor, Allanfauld, in aid of RSABI. This gimmer, XMM1917426, is by Garngour Bullet and out of a dam by Knap You’re The Man. She sold in-lamb to Claybury Dunkirk and was bought by W Wilson.
Meanwhile, a recipient carrying an embryo from Gordon Gray’s Ettrick flock sold for 1100gns in aid of The Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh.
The embryo is by the 10,000gns Douganhill Desperado and out of a Clinterty Yuga Khan daughter which was first prize ewe at the Great Yorkshire in 2019 and third at the Royal Highland in the same year. This one sold to C Weir, Stow, Scottish Borders.
And the same buyer also paid 420gns/straw for six straws of semen from Procters Chumba Wumba offered by Stuart Barclay of the Harestone flock, Donald and Sarah McPherson of the Hexel flock, Alan Clark of the Garngour flock, David Clark of the Clarks flock and Andrew Clark of the Teiglum flock. This was sold in aid of the My Name’5 Doddie MND Foundation.
The three lots sold for a combined total of £7083, giving these three charities a welcome seasonal boost.
