This year’s Lanark sale of Texels saw us arrive home with a new kid on the block. We’re delighted to say that adding more strength to our sire team this year is the highest price ram of the year, the 100,000gns Auldhouseburn Expression.
Bred by Hugh and Alan Blackwood at Muirkirk in Ayrshire, Expression is by the world record priced 350,000gns Sportsmans Double Diamond and out of a dam by the 130,000gns Rhaeadr Best of the Best, with his dam’s full sister having previously sold for 40,000gns and his dam selling for 13,000gns in 2020.
Having viewed Expression at home earlier in the summer we knew he was the right tup to take the flock forward and we believe he will knit well with our females, particularly our Hope Valley C The Stars daughters.
Combining breed character with a great carcass and superb locomotion we have high hopes for Expression and look forward to his lambs in the spring.
