摘要

A pedigree Texel shearling ram from the Loose-beare flock of E.W. Quick, Crediton, Devon, was only 2,000gns away from matching the world record price of 122,000gns set at Lanark three weeks ago, when he sold to the 120,000gns mark at Carlisle last Friday - the second day of the two-day event. Held on behalf of the Solway and Tyne Texel breeders club, the annual autumn show and sale attracted a top bid of 120,000gns for April 2002-born Loosebeare Imp by Summerwood Grand Union. Genotyped ARR/ARR and out of a Crimscote Bard dam, he was. secured by a syndicate of three including J.P. Forsyth, Maybole, Ayrshire; J.G. Douglas, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, and S.G. Mair and Sons of Turriff, Aberdeenshire. The Loosebeare consignment of eight shearling ramsaveraged 16,599.18 pound.
