Goldies Sultan at 11,500gns Bonnykelly Scotsman at 10,000gns Hollywell Seoirse at 10,000gns<br />

Penrith, Cumbria.<br />

Also reaching 10,000gns was<br />

17-month-old Corrie Stampede, bred<br />

by D MacGregor of the well-known<br />

Corrie herd in Glasgow. Stampede is an<br />

excellent example of French genetics,<br />

having been sired by the French-born<br />

Harestone Oscar. His dam Corrie Lilo<br />

is a daughter of Gavinburn Harry and<br />

goes back to the easy calving Blelack<br />

Digger. Stampede was purchased under<br />

joint ownership between J Irvine &<br />

Son of Ballindalloch, Banffshire and D<br />

Muirhead of Arbroath, Angus.<br />

Next to sell for 10,000gns was<br />

17-month-old Gretnahouse Smiler<br />

from L Houston of the Gretnahouse<br />

herd in Dumfriesshire. Smiler was<br />

sired by Westcarse Jimmy, who is a<br />

trait leader in 200-, 400-, and 600-day<br />

weight EBVs, and his dam Gretnahouse<br />

Nannabel is by the 12,000gns Wesley<br />

Equinox. Smiler is certain to go on<br />

to perform well for his new owners<br />

W J Morrison & Sons of MacDuff,<br />

Banffshire.<br />

The final bull to reach the 5-figure<br />

mark, also at 10,000gns, was the<br />

day’s Reserve Overall Male Champion<br />

and Junior Champion, Balthayock<br />

Sebastian from the herd of D F W<br />

H & N R Walter in Perth. Sebastian<br />

is following in his sire Balthayock<br />

Loyalist’s footsteps – he had also won<br />

the Junior Championship at Stirling<br />

in 2016 before selling for 14,000gns.<br />

Sebastian’s dam is Balthayock Lucia, a<br />

daughter of Ugie Echo. This strapping<br />

young lad will be making the long trip<br />

down to the Vexour herd in Surrey,<br />

to his new home under the care of J<br />

Boomaars.<br />

Thirteen females were sold after the<br />

conclusion of the bull sales, with the<br />

highest price of 5,500gns being secured<br />

by the Female Champion Harestone<br />

Royalgem from R & N Barclay of the<br />

Harestone herd in Aberdeenshire.<br />

Royalgem has some excellent names<br />

in her pedigree – she was sired by<br />

the 40,000gns Maerdy Newman, and<br />

her dam Harestone Locket is by the<br />

25,000gns Inverlochy Ferdie. Securing<br />

the final bid for this stunning young<br />

heifer was K Watret of the Annanview<br />

herd, Dumfriesshire.<br />

Following on from the female sale<br />

was the dispersal of the well-known<br />

Lochend herd, run by Iain Millar<br />

in Stirlingshire. The top price was<br />

an incredible 21,000gns, and was<br />

secured by an outfit consisting of a<br />

beautiful cow Lochend Lightning and<br />

her 5-month-old bull calf Lochend<br />

Thunder. Lightning was sired by the<br />

sought-after Oldstone Egbert, and her<br />

dam Lochend Glitter is a daughter of<br />

the 28,000gns Brampton Nacodar.<br />

Her bull calf Thunder was sired by<br />

Swalesmoor Oscar, whom the Millars<br />

purchased for 10,000gns in 2020. After<br />

a furious round of bidding, the hammer<br />

finally came down with D Sawrij of the<br />

Swalesmoor herd in Selkirkshire taking<br />

the last bid.<br />

Finally, the dispersal of the<br />

Ravensworth herd, from W S Oates<br />

in Tyne and Wear, concluded the<br />

day’s proceedings. The top price<br />

was 8,500gns, and was secured by<br />

Ravensworth Nicole. Nicole was sired<br />

by Goldies Judge, and she is out of<br />

Ravensworth Ivy, a daughter of the<br />

11,000gns Thrunton Bombadier. Nicole<br />

had been scanned in-calf to Goldies<br />

Orchard in May 2022, and both her<br />

and her future calf are sure to perform<br />

admirably for new owner E Vaughan of<br />

Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.<br />
