Hamish Goldie’s overall champion led the trade at the Charolais Society’s spring show and sale at Carlisle, where a steady demand saw 40 bulls sell to average £7941, while five females levelled out at £5985.
Making the top price of 18,000gns was Goldies Vodka, which had earlier been tapped out as senior male and overall champion by the judge Stuart Wilson. Continuing a hugely successful run for the Dumfries-based Goldies herd, this 20-month-old is another son of the 28,000gns Falleninch Stormzy, which has now bred numerous five-figure priced sons, up to 30,000gns. His dam, Goldies Tetley, is a daughter of Caylers Rocky, the bull that sired Hamish’s champion and 75,000gns seller at the Stirling sale in February. Vodka heads to Wales, selling to Kevin Thomas’ Moelfre herd.

The final five-figure seller was Tweeddale Vandal, a 19-month-old from Jonathan Watson, Bowsden Moor, Berwick Upon Tweed.
