Welspool In-Lamb Sale
The Welsh Beltex Club in-lamb sale held at Welshpool livestock
auctions market on 14 December and saw a total of 32 Beltex
forward.
The pre-sale show judge was sale supporter Ryan Joesph of the
Brynsa flock; he went onto place an aged ewe from the Fronarth
Flock scanned carrying twins to a Wannop’s tup as his
Champion.
Continuing their winning success the Fronarth flock of Sion
Jones also took Reserve Champion of the day with a shearling
ewe – Fronarth Hot to Trot ET.
Vendors were once again happy on the day’s trading with a good
clearance rate and consistent averages through and through.
It was great to see a number of new faces around a packed ring
with many securing a female or two to establish new flocks.
Flock Competition
Our flock competition and results were held at our AGM on 4
November at the Celtic Royal Hotel, Caernarfon. It was good to
see many of the South Wales breeders travel the three-hour
journey north to show their support.
The Competition was judged by Anne Story of the renowned
Borderesk flock.
