RBST show York - preceding the Sale - 5th October 2012  Llanwenog interbreed champion yet again– for an
unprecedented 4th year in a row. This really is an impressive performance for
the breed and breeder, Philip Hodges, Charndon Flock. The York RBST show had
about 140 entries this year, with a large – competitive - turnout of
Primitives, Ryelands and other Native breeds. So it is particularly pleasing
that the Llanwenog has made such an impact at the show in recent year and is
appealing to new breeders. At the sale, the Charndon yearling ewes sold well
(av £145) and a Tallantire ram lamb went to a new breeder who plans to cross
with Shetlands for butchers lambs. Three Counties – National Rare &
Minority Breeds Show Sunday 17 June 2012 It
rained & rained for the first two days of this show but on Sunday the
weather was fine but the showground was a quagmire – especially in the cattle
rings. The Llanwenog classes were rather smaller this year and judged by David
Henson (Bradden Flock). The Champion Llanwenog was awarded to Jill Bennett
(Tallantire Flock). Her yearling ewe went on to the Hill & Heath Section
against a Kerry Hill, Balwen & White Faced Woodland and after much
deliberation was judged Reserve Champion. Other Llanwenog Breeders were seen in
the Cattle Lines: Charles Horton with his Shorthorns, Jonathan Crump with
Gloucesters and Andrew Bomford with Longhorns.
