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. The buyers were Paul and Christine Tippetts, Shifnal.

 

Next, at 18,000gns, was the pre-sale show champion, April 2022-born Sarkley Tenrietta from Elfed Williams, Sennybridge, who bought the heifer for 10,000gns at last year's weaned calf sale from breeder E.H. Pennie and Son, Montgomery. The double Q204X heifer, by Carnew Millreef out of Sarkley Lenrietta, was knocked down to the judge, Mary Cormack, Chepstow.
