Results
It was a day to remember today for Dafydd & Amy Harries from Llanddeusant, Carmarthenshire. Their ram lamb won Overall Champion at the pre-sale Show and went on to sell for 750gns and their aged tup got top price of the day, being knocked down at 810gns.
Despite having to hold the show indoors because of the torrential rain, it certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits as good trade was had throughout the sale. Pictured below are all class winners and some top prices of the day.
Thank you to the judges Mr Chris Lewis and Junior Judge Miss Rhian Thomas. Thank you to all staff at Monmouthshire Livestock Centre for their hard work in ensuring a successful sale.
