Einon take Championship at early NSA

2nd August 2010

Irena Lewis, fresh from her excellent performance at the Royal Welsh and double at Cardigan County (taking the Interbreed Single and Group of Three Championships) again took the tricoloured ribbons at the early NSA. It was her aged tup Hull House Off the Rails that show Judge Roland Watkins (Cwmcerrig) chose as his Champion. The two year old tup by Castleknowe Matchmaker out a Brague Inquirer Grougfoot dam sold for 700gns to Carmarthen breeder Wayne Phillips (Townswood).

Barbara Smith (Slapton) took first place in the shearling section with Slapton Phoenix. South Wales blood lines were very evident in the tup as he is by Ffostyll Oscar out of a Furzy Kupid dam. It was a different tup from Slapton though that sold for the day’s top price of 1,150gns to Club member Adrian Windsor (Fern). He was by Lyonshall Lotus, a Haddo Jogger son out of a Muiresk J.P. dam.

Happy Farmers were Simon Farmer and family (Meon Valley). In the pre sale show they took the female championship and reserve overall with a gimmer under the Meon Down prefix. She is by Beautry Kilarney out of a Meon Hill ewe by Stainton King Pin. She proceeded to top the female trade at 520gns selling to Club stalwart Jim Jones TV’s (Preswylfa). Next in the ring from the Farmer’s was another Kilarney gimmer selling for 370gns. In the male section they sold Meon Valley Porthos for 880gns. Obviously feeling flush from their show and sale successes they then gave 900gns for the top priced aged tup Loosebeare On Your Marks. Loosebeare also sold a tup with South Wales bloodlines for the second top price of the day, getting 950gns for Loosebeare Prize Guy, a Cennen Magnum son.
