Friday’s Rouge sale at Carlisle saw a top price of 1200gns paid for the best of the shearling rams from Angus Howie’s Millhouse flock. This was Millhouse Lets Dance (lot 1721), a son of a Knighton tup out of Broadwood Jersey, a Carscreugh Kingpin daughter. He sold to J C Crust, Spilsby.
Following that at 1000gns was another from the same home, Millhouse Look Out. This one, by the same sire, is out of another Broadwood ewe, this time a daughter of Broadwood Dynamo. He sold to J Gate Northwich.
After him came an 800gns bid for the day’s pre-sale champion, a Knighton shearling tup from Percy Tait. This one is by Romer Harry and out of Knighton Flora, a Broadwood Dickie daughter.
