Royal Welsh Winter Fair 2011
‘The society had a wonderful cow and heifer calf on the breed promotion stand forwarded by Eirian & Caryl Griffiths, Glandulas Isaf, Llangybi, Lampeter, which drew much attention to the breed. Also thanks must be given to all members who manned this stand to the benefit of the Society’ said Society Council Chairman Mr Robert Jones, Caerberllan, Tywyn.
6 heifers and 8 steers were forwarded in the classes for Pedigree Welsh Black Cattle.
Other notable prices were paid for the registered Welsh Blacks, which readily sold from 200 – 300 pence per kg, many being purchased by D Willis, Croesllan Catering. Other purchasers of finished cattle were Robert Rattray; William Lloyd Williams, Machynlleth; HMD Butchers; Doug Griffiths, Leintwardine; Owen Liar; Dewi James & Co, Cardigan.
The Baby Beef Steer Lot 242 named WALLY, a British Blue X Welsh Black bred and exhibited by D Huw Jones and Family (Gwarcwm Herd), proved the icing on the cake for the Society, beating the previously undefeated POKER MON who won at Countryside Live, Agri-Expo, English Winter Fair and the Scottish Winter Fair. Wally was a British Blue X with a Welsh Black Dam and was victorious on his debut. He sold for £2,600 to stalwart showman Elfed Williams who we hope will show him next year. Society Council Chairman Robert Jones wishes to thank all exhibitors for their dedication in forwarding the Welsh Black breed.
