The Red Ladies sale of pedigree Limousin females at Carlisle topped at 22,000gns for 19-month-old Garrowby Toffee from Garrowby Farm, York. The first heifer to be sold by 28,000gns Grahams Rooney out of Gunnerfleet Jeloche, and a big winner in the show ring this season, it has a myostatin combination of NT821/Q204X and a beef value of 41.
