Jimmy and Donald MacGregor, Milton of Campsie, received £10,000 for a son of a £12,000 Dyke, which went to Colin McClymont, Newton Stewart, and Rob Hannah, Stranraer.

Another to hit the £10,000 mark was a shearling from the Dunlop family's Elmscleugh flock, Dunbar. The son of £125,000 Nunnerie went to Chirmorrie Farm, Barrhill, Girvan.
