ONCE again Emma and Allen Shortt were at the top at the Dutch Spotted Society Sale held in Swatragh Mart.
Judge Kevin McDermott, from County Donegal, pulled forward Diamond Fearless, the
first prize ram lamb, as his overall champion with Diamond Flicka, first prize ewe lamb, as reserve champion. Both are out of the renowned Bella 11. The champion was sired by Decider, which has proved to be a winning combination on several occasions.
Flicka was sired by Carlauston Extrovert, which also bred the top price of the sale for Chris Johnston’s Johnstown Fantom. He was out of a Glencloy ewe by The Spaniard.
