Suffolk enthusiasts had the chance to secure breeding ewes early in the season when South Yorks-based breeder Don Stewart dispersed his Hollytree flock at Borderway Mart, Carlisle. Prices reached 750gns when Sandy Fraser, who runs the Santon flock at Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, claimed a Stockton Dominator ewe (above) bred out of a Bridgestone Hercules dam tracing back to Santon breeding on the female side. Overall 103 ewes levelled at £145, 53 shearlings at £151 and 59 ewe lambs at £105 (Harrison & Hetherington).
