Lakeview Lancelot makes 65,000gns at Beltex Show & Sale
Local pedigree sheep breeder Gary Beacom, Lakeview Flock, Fivemiletown, had an impressive run at the Beltex Sheep Society’s Harbro Premier Show and Sale held at Borderway Mart, Carlisle, on 13-14 August 2026.
At the two-day event Beacom equalled the former Beltex breed record at 65,000gns, with his pre-sale show supreme champion, Lakeview Lancelot ET.
The early-February shearling is by the 20,000gns Carlisle Premier Sale champion Logie Durno Jack Daniels ET and out of Lakeview Flying Beauty ET. He won the shearling ram class and took both the male and overall championships under judge Grant Maxwell, having earlier been Reserve Male Champion at the Irish National 2026 held at Omagh Show, before selling to Alan Miller of Miller Farms, The Lurg, Midmar, Inverurie.
Continuing the good fortune Lakeview Lord of The Ring ET from Gary Beacom, another Logie Durno Jack Daniels ET son, this time out of Aviemore Curie ET, sold at 12,000gns to Rosie Boden of the Mellor Vale flock, Stockport.
With his pen of ten shearling rams averaging £10993, it was a worthwhile trip for the Fermanagh breeder.
