Dispersal Sale of the
DYKESHILL MV Accredited Texel Flock
Friday 27th August 2004

A top bid of 380gns led the Dykeshill Texel dispersal gimmer sale consigned by The Countess of Swinton from Masham, Nr Ripon.

Paying the leading price, for the March born shearling gimmer, was W & WJ Jardine of Newbigging, Lockerbie. Her pedigree goes back to the homebred sire, Dykeshill Eric and her mother was a daughter to Beautry Epicurus.

Following at 320gns were two gimmers. The first, a March born daughter of Osbaldeston Dandy, sold to Messrs Jardine of Newbigging. The second 320gns entry sired by Leases Heskey, sold to R Dalgleish of Lammonbie Mill, Lockerbie.

Two gimmers attracted 300gns both purchased by Armadale Home Farm, Syke. The first was sired by Dykes Hill Eric and bred back to Grayrigg Atlas on the mothers side, whilst the second entry was by Leases Heskey and carried Beautry bloodlines on the dams pedigree.

Average – 27 shearling gimmers £192.50.
