In the Dyfed Club online Progeny Show, judge Brian Hanthorn, Mullan, found his champions in a pair of gimmers from John Eirian and Lynwen Davies’ Teilo flock.
The Davies’ backed up their recent club show win with the champion from Llandeilo and her sister by Castlecairn General G. Both gimmers are headed to Builth for the Main NSA Sale. General G also sired the third prize ewe lamb for Alfryn and Christie Davies’ Ifan Ddu flock
Again, in common with the Club Show in reserve champion spot was the Aman flock of John and Gloria Davies. This time though it was with their first prize ram lamb by Knap Gate Crasher.
It was a strong showing for Gate Crasher who also sired the first prize ewe lamb and the first prize pair of ram lambs. These are from the same flush as the reserve champion, and the three ram lambs are headed to Lockerbie to the Solway and Tyne Club sale. The dam is a Tyrcan bred ewe by Hope Valley C the Stars.
Another sister was one of the second prize pair of ewe lambs and Gate Crasher also sired the third prize pair of gimmers for Aman. This took Gate Crasher to the top points sire and Aman to second in the flock points section.
Also appearing regularly in the prizes for Teilo and Ifan Ddu was Auldhouseburn High Card. A pair of his ewe lambs won that class for Teilo and Teilo took second place in the ewe lamb and ram lamb single classes and second in the pair of ram lambs class. Ifan Ddu took a third in the ram lamb class.
Hilltop Gambler sired the Wydden entires for Eldon Thomas and secured third prize pair of ewe lambs and second prize pair of gimmers for the Llandudno based flock. He is a full brother to the 90,000gns Hilltop Goliath.
