UK genetics were to the fore once again when Texel records were smashed in Brazil recently at the second production sale for Sergio Takahashi’s Gran Reserva flock.
Following on from the success of last year’s event which saw a new male record set for the breed in Brazil, this year’s fixture grossed a Brazilian record turnover of R$1,281,360.00 (£195,535).
The event also saw the flock establish a new female record for the breed in Brazil, with a brace of females by UK rams selling for a new record price of R$244,800 (£37,356) each.
First to go at this money was Gran reserva POI-UK 481, the 2019 Expointer grand champion and a daughter of Cambwell Trademark. She is ET bred from a dam by Teiglum Vision.
Gran reserva POI-UK 745, the 2022 Expointer grand champion, then went on to make the same money, with this one being a daughter of Knock Talisker, ET bred from TDJ/DV-UK 45, another by Teiglum Vision.
