Ty-Gwyn Does it Again
The Worcester Summer Selection Show and Sale, held by McCartneys at Worcester Livestock Market, marked the inaugural sale of the Society’s ‘early breeder’s sales’ to aim at those breeders wanting to tup early for a January lambing. There were 120 entries from 20 flocks ranging from Members residing in Cornwall to Dumfriesshire. We were delighted to welcome Mr Edward Adamson from County Antrim, our Society Chairman, to judge the pre-sale show.
