CASTELLAU FLOCK TZ Tim Prichard Castellau Fawr Farm, Llantrisant, Glamorgan. CF72 8LP Tel : 01443 224253 Mobile: 07908 355902 This year the Castellau flock celebrates 30 years since it’s first purchase of females in 1987. We have had a successful season, especially at the Royal Welsh where we won interbreed ewe lamb champion with Castellau Sophisticated Lady (17TZ01801). Her dam, My Fair Lady, was 1st prize ewe lamb in 2012 and grand dam Flashy Lady champion of champions in 2006 - 3 generations of winners at the Royal Welsh. At the Vale of Glamorgan we had reserve champion with Castellau Rhianna and interbreed continental group champions (pictured left) with Sophisticated Lady, her sister and brother. A full sister is in the sale (Lot 101). At Worcester Premier we had 2 scond prize ram lambs and sold Smart Ass for 2,000gns, Rockafella for 1,600gns and Special One for 1,200gns.
All ewes in the flock come from ARR/ARR families, so I have not genotyped any females. All ewes have been vaccinated with Enzovax and yearlings also Toxovax. The flock is MV Accredited, Scrapie Monitored and Signet Recorded.
Visitors and enquiries prior to the sale are welcome
Castellau Service Sires used in 2017 WERNFAWR SPARTACUS (17XEV01125) - ARR/ARR - Spartacus was 1st and reserve champion ram lamb and purchased for 7,000gns with Emyr Hughes at Worcester. He is a very smart lamb with very deep wide loin and gigots. His sire Wernfawr Nijinsky has produced many good sheep including reserve champion Worcester 2016, selling again for 7,000gns. I am looking forward to his progeny and he has been used heavily within the flock. He has run with all the ewes until 1st September.
