Maybin wins Championship
This years Suffolk sales got off to a flying start in Balmoral with RT &
MB Maybin securing the top price of £ 2800 for a ram lamb which won
the Supreme Champion and was by Laurelbank Dexter. This was a very
stylish ram genotype ARR/ARR and was purchased by the judge James
Fleming Lanarkshire for his Hallhill flock. Trade was brisk with the
auctioneer Graham Loughry from J A McClelland & Sons Ballyclare,
having no problem in securing bids for the top quality stock which was
on offer.
Reserve supreme champion went to a ram lamb out of Glenho Giants
Causeway which was owned by Harry Stewart and was sold for £ 1500.
Female Champion and Reserve Female Champion both went to RT &
MB Maybin’s Carnarvon flock. These were two very stylish ewe lambs
out of Knockadoo Romeo and fetched £ 1000 & £ 900 respectively.
