Here’s the Welsh Simmental champion, the yearling bull Cwarre Jester from Debbie Cumming and a few other champions below. Images …
Trade was selective on Worcester with no doubt there was some concern in the air for trade going forward in to this year’s sheep selling season. However, quality was in abundance in the Texel rings with the annual production sale of the Loosebeare, Whitehart and Hendre flocks. Topping trade at 1850gns was a simmer from …
