The first Society Sale to take place at Thainstone proved to be a success with demand for males and females alike. Stuart Wood, Woodies, topped trade with a gimmer selling for 1600gns to John Gunn. Also selling to Mr Gunn was Knockglass Esme, bred by J & A Budge. Purchased for 1000gns, Esme is sired by Ty-Gwyn Champion and out of Barley Twist, a 2018 import.
Topping the males was a shearling ram, Tardoes Earl of Dee, from Mr & Mrs M & J Simpson. With Tardoes Bella Maria as his dam and Tardoes Dundee as his sire, this ram sold for 900gns to R J McIntosh. Mr & Mrs Simpson also told the ram lambs, selling Tardoes Flintstone for 520gns to M & S Nesbit. Sired by Challoch Bassett, Flintstone is out of Tardoes Bryony.
