Strong trading at Hereford and Llandovery Hereford and Llandovery
F
ollowing the cancellation of the Main NSA Sale at Builth Wells due to Covid-19 the Society organised a brace of commercially focussed sales in the region at Hereford and Llandovery to provide Society members with outlets for their stock.
Both of these sales were well supported by breeders and saw regular buyers bidding strongly for the best of the rams on offer.
Hereford
A 4300gns call topped the Texel trade at the Hereford Main Sale, with this money paid by Welsh duo Paul Curran and Adrian Davies for Cennen Chad from Hywel Thomas, Llandeilo. Sired by Knock Yardsman, he is out of a dam by the homebred Cennen Yellowstone and attracted attention from both those present and telephone bidders. Second best at 1950gns was Canllefaes Charming from the Davies family. He’s a son of Curley Big Mac and out of a dam by the noted breeder Talcoed You Know. This one found a new home with J R Joseph and Co, LLyswen.
