A bid of 2800gns is the best of the day in the Suffolks at Carlisle, with this call coming for the overall champion from the pre-sale show, a ram lamb from John Gibb’s Cairnton flock. This one, KLR 12:025, is by Thurston Grand Diamond and out of a dam by Roundacre Rockstar. He goes back to Cairness Ninety Nine and sold to R Lawrence, Winkleigh, Devon.
Following him at 2500gns was a tup lamb from Mark Evans’ Jubilee flock, Y31 12:070. Sired by Strathisla Seville, he is out of a dam by Everton Forever and goes back to Didcot Dominator. He was knocked down to R Gray, Lanark.
Then making 1800gns was a shearling tup from Hazel Martindale. This one, from the Landale flock, KFD 11:106 is Landale Bombadier and is by Landale Black Magic and out of a dam by Cairness Rossi. Having stood first in its class in Carlisle it was knocked down to I Spedding, Bishop Aukland, Co Durham.
