Purchased at Carlisle in February 2017 for 22000gns. Lion is sired by Gunnerfleet Hicks out of Gunnerfleet Ilocks. Lion has been described as one of the best bulls to come from the renowned Gunnerfleet herd for many years. His calves are showing great potential in both bulls and heifers for the Whinfell Park herd. His first progeny has proven very successful throughout the 2019 show season receiving numerous overall and junior championships. With his outstanding shape and style Lion gives an exciting breeding opportunity for both pedigree and commercial breeders alike. The first Lion Daughters attended the Red Ladies Sale at Harrison & Hetherington Auction, Carlisle in December 2020 where they reached a top price of 10,000gns and an average of 6,500gns for the five sold.
