A shearling ewe from Paul Tippetts led the trade at the Beltex Sheep Society’s sale at Worcester on Friday, 4 September, when she was knocked down for the top price of 1800gns.

Hackney Elsie ET, from the flock near Shifnal, Shropshire, is by the Kingledores Braveheart ram bought for 7000gns at Carlisle which has bred well in the flock while her dam is Hackney Charity, a daughter of the 60,000gns Topflite Al Pacino. She caught the eye of Angus Hamplett and joins his Booden flock near Haughton, Stafford.
