Trade was up on the year in the Beltex Society’s Welsh Premier sale in Welshpool where prices peaked at 3,000gns and another four lots made 2,000gns or more.
Sale leader was Teg King Pin, the February born single ram lamb from Tegwyn Jones, Felingwm, Carmarthen. By Gyffin Dexter out of Sinclair’s Fantasia, it sold to W.G. Ingram, Pitcaple, Aberdeen.

It was a Gyffin bred ram from Edward Cyril Lloyd Lewis, Gyffin, Conwy, which jointly led the shearling prices at 2,200gns when Gyffin Jimbo by Clary Dumfries sold to R.and B. James, Fishguard.

At the same price, Glantre Jethro from M. and H. Owens, Llandysul, sold to R.M. Cornforth, Tadcaster. By Lurg Gullit, it is out of an Ardstewart Comanche-sired Glantre ewe. At 2,000gns, E.H. Pennie, Llandysul, bought Glantre Jaws, a Hackney Gossip son out of an Artnagullion Dupe-sired Glantre dam.

Thomas, Penybont, Carmarthen, while Frongoy James by Aviemore Explorer out of a Rathbone ewe, was bought by S. Lane, Newtown, Powys. The same buyer also paid 1,800gns for a Michel James-bred Duhonw shearling which was entered by Titanium flock owners W.J. and R.M. Jerman, Builth Wells.
