Another win for Tobergill Fergus
A good entry of cattle was forward at the Belted Galloway Annual sale at Castle Douglas with bids coming in online, and from the packed ringside. Buyers were in attendance from all 4 parts of the UK. Trade was on fire with 7 lots making 5000gns or above. Averages were up on the previous year which altogether bodes well for the future of the Breed. A great atmosphere and buzz were around the sale ring right from the start of the sale with the first lot in the ring making 4500gns.
Top price of the day was a new Breed Record at 14,000gns and this was achieved for a stylish 17-month-old bull from Mrs Alison Taylor. Grassknop Idris, who had been successfully shown this year including winning Reserve Breed Champion at the Great Yorkshire Show, continued his winning ways by being the pre-sale show Male Champion. Idris is sired by Cairnsmore Fergus and out of a homebred cow, Grassknop Mai. The successful bidder on the day was Castleton Farms Ltd from Dollar for their Castleton Herd. Second highest price was for another bull, this time from Mochrum Estate with their 2-year-old bull Mochrum Finnegan. Second in his class and sold for 9000gns, he is sired by the homebred bull Mochrum Brigadier and out of Mochrum Lilac 5th, he was knocked down to Mr S Halsall of Summerstone Estate at Harrogate for his Summerstone Herd.
