The same buyer then paid 3500gns for the next in the ring, EJR1904066, a Midlock Youre The One daughter out of a dam by Craig Farm Yazza and again served by Bright Spark.

Next best at 1700gns was one from the Priestley family’s Brontemoor flock, PSR1903328. This Brijon Warlord daughter is out of a dam by Glenway Upper Class and sold carrying triplets to Logie Durno Braveheart. Taking her were Messrs Smith and Son, Alford, Aberdeenshire.
