North-east Beltex breeder Stuart Wood took home the championship rosettes and top price at the New Year pedigree female sheep sale at Chelford.
Mr Wood, who runs the Woodies flock at Woolhillock Croft, Skene, Westhill, took the supreme champion prize with a ewe lamb by the 4,000gn Airyolland Thunder.
Woodies Aroma, which is an embryo transfer daughter out of an imported ewe, sold for 4,300gn to the pre-sale show judge Les Hewitt of Penyffordd, Chester, who runs the Acres flock.
The reserve champion rosettes were presented to another lot from the Woodies flock. This one-crop ewe – Woodies Twilight – is an embryo transfer daughter by the £10,000 Kingledores Rameses and out of Drumrash Not Tonight. She was sold in-lamb to Airyolland Weapon, which was bought at Kelso last year for 4,000gn.
This one sold for 2,700gn to G. and K. Williams, Lampeter, Ceredigion.
Mr Wood had further sale success with a ewe lamb, Woodies Almera, which is by Howcommon Romeo and out of another imported ewe, selling for 2,100gn to A. J. Wood, Preston.
He also sold a one-crop ewe, Woodies Top of the League, which is an embryo transfer daughter of Kingledores Rameses out of Dooley Larrisa for 1,000gn. This one, which was also in-lamb to Airyolland Weapon, sold to T. Riley, Chorley, Lancashire.
Another leading price from the Woodies flock was 1,650gn for an imported ewe sold in-lamb to Airyolland Weapon.
And in a bid to help his counterparts south of the border who have been hit by floods, Mr Wood put a ewe lamb under the hammer to raise funds for the Cumbria Flood Appeal.
Woodies Apostrophe, which is by Glenkeen Sanders and out of an imported Biesheuvel ewe, sold for 1,250gn to S. T. Marsh and M. Friend, Dover, Kent.
