Gaerwen Auction Centre, Isle of Anglesey
Judge : Mr J Jeyes, Warwickshire
This show & sale continues to move forward, with each successive year being an improvement on the one before. It is usual to see a very high percentage clearance rate on Anglesey but this year saw more members entering and a healthy increase in the number of females to be judged and sold.
Supreme and Male Champion was awarded to Dafydd Thomas (Rhos Flock) Ram Lamb Lot 33 ‘Rhos Norman’ sired by Brockhall Tornado which went on to sell for 440gns to Messrs Thomas a young farmer on Anglesey. Female Champion was from Morris Family (Hoggeston Flock) with Shearling Ewe Lot 6 sired by Celyn Xeno selling for 320gns to Messrs Hughes a lamb producer on the Island..
First prize ewe lamb went to A V & J W Brigg (Gorse Flock), sold for 190gns. There was a strong consignment of sixteen shearling ewes from the Morris Family, two of which sold for 360gns each. Three aged ewes present from R Owen (Trefri Flock) with Lot 32 achieving 300gns.
The prize for ‘Group of 3 Ram Lambs’ went to William Roberts (Nant Flock). There were eight rams born 2023 or earlier forward, with 2 achieving 420gns; from William Roberts (Nant Flock) Lot 38 and from G Parry (Mynydd Flock) Lot 45.
Thanks are due to all our vendors and buyers, as well as to the judge, Jonathan Jeyes, the auctioneer Geraint Evans and to all the staff at Gaerwen Auction Centre.
