It was ‘sweet’ success for Matthew Burleigh at the Irish Beltex Sheep Breeders Club Christmas Show and Sale in Dungannon Farmers Mart as Matt’s Caroline, Lot 8, a shearling ewe, was named Show Champion.
Judge Francis Lyons from Kilconnell, County Galway, described the winning shearling as ‘having good width and a strong head – an excellent all round ewe!’.
Caroline – which is by Hackney Wonderboy and out of the Pentland Showman-sired Matt’s Www. – went on to top the sale at 1,750gns when snapped up by Colm Curran, Kilbride, Trim, County Meath.
Reserve Champion was Lot 12, Ravara Bressi ET, an aged ewe from A. Murray & Son’s Ravara Flock, Ballygowan, which sold for the next best price of 820gns to D Patton, Newtownards. She is by Artnagullion Tornado and out of Ravara Lucy.
Francis described the Reserve Champion as “very correct and nicely toned”.
The Murray family also sold Ravara Beautiful Girl, Lot 16 and a Clary Platform daughter, for 460gns to Eamon Gallagher, Ballygawley, County Tyrone.
Selling for 750gns was Elizabeth McAllister’s shearling ewe, Artnagullion Case, by The Bare Boy, which sold to Robert Gilmore, Dromore, Country Tyrone.
The Ewe Lamb class winner was Ballycreelly Danielle, Lot 27, belonging to K & A McCarthy, Comber, which sold to Hugh O’Neill, Glenarm, for 210gns.
