South Wales and Mid-Western

A herd visit and a herd competition

Just like last year, Covid put a stop to the majority of events here in Wales during 2021, much like the rest of the UK. Restrictions do seem to be lifting at long last which allowed us to visit Catrin and Gareth Price’s herd of Beef Shorthorns, North Country Cheviots and Llyn Sheep. I think we all enjoyed seeing the animals and the much welcomed hospitality. A big thank you to all involved as it takes a lot of effort to put on a herd and flock visit for one day let alone two.

I would like to thank Bernard Llewellyn for judging our herd competition as I know he is extremely busy with his own farm and visitors to Carreg Cennen castle.

Lastly, I would like to thank Lyn Davies and Martin Reynolds for all of their hard work keeping us organised and well informed ensuring a successful club.

I found judging the herd competition to be a most enjoyable experience; congratulations to the winners and to many other individual animals and herds that deserved mention.

The champion herd award went to Brian and Eiryth Thomas where I found very few weaknesses and an exceptional group of young stock. In reserve place was Alma James’ Lamboro herd which was run very commercially.
