NATIONAL SOUTHDOWN SHEEP PREMIER EARLY BREEDERS' SHOW AND SALE 2004

Held at Maidstone Market, Detling, Kent on

SATURDAY 7TH AUGUST 2004

SALE REPORT

The inaugural event on behalf of the Southdown Sheep Society saw a catalogue entry of 78 head, selling to a generally brisk trade, particularly for Group 1 Genotype sheep.

A major feature of the sale was the reduction of the Chailey Brook Flock on behalf of Jonathan Long, which saw his 5 crop ewe selling to a top of 110 guineas and Group 1 shearling ewes selling to a top of 125 guineas.

The pre sale Show saw Irving Pallister choose his Champion, ARR/ARR shearling ram from D S & P Humphrey, which later sold for 800 guineas to Anne Lambert and Brian Rideout, acting jointly. Another similarly bred shearling from the same flock sold to a top of 630 guineas to Mrs J Howson, Sandwich, Kent.

Robert Backshall’s Caesars Flock sold 5 rams to average 180 guineas, selling to a top of 370 guineas and Daniel Bunting’s 2 shear ARR/ARR ram sold for a massive 410 guineas to Mr and Mrs Popple.

Amongst the females the trade was more selective but Group 1 Scrapie tested shearling ewes sold to a top of 230 guineas from the East Dean Flock of D S & P Humphrey and 160 guineas from the Morebread Flock of Mr and Mrs C Bull.
