Skye’s Ewes A Star shone brightest for the Dutch Spots at the Mowbray Multibreed Sale

This one crop ewe, sired by the well-known Glencloy Chance, topped the Multibreed sale when she sold for 3,200gns. Bred by Katie Tucker and out of one of her foundation ewes, Beech Hay Ballad, Ewes A Star found her new home with G Edwards, Turbury Hollow, Derbyshire.

The next three highest prices also came from the Skye’s dispersal, starting with 2050gns Skye’s Fortune Cookie, a Lochlad Enigma daughter. Out of Skye’s Ewes Special, Fortune Cookie was purchased by an undisclosed buyer.

Next, at 1,900gns, was Skye’s Flying Sparkles. Sired by the renowned Westbroad Diego and out of Skye’s Dixie Chicks, she travelled to Mill Heyes Farm, Nottinghamshire. Lastly, and top priced ewe lamb, was Skye’s Golden Girl. Golden by name, golden by nature, this Skye’s Fabulous Quest x Wedderburn Elder daughter was sold for 1,300gns to an unnamed purchaser.

Hayley Clarke achieved the top price male when she sold her shearling ram and Male Champion, Williams Fox, for 1,250gns. Out of a Tiptop Aero ewe, Williams Caprice, Fox was sired by import Champ (IM1812).
