This pair of twins at the Royal Welsh show last week gained second in the ewe lamb class and third in the ram lamb class.
Wedderburn Holly Hock
Wedderburn Hothead Henry
Wedderburn Hothead Henry and Wedderburn Holly Hock are sired by last year’s Royal Welsh male champion, Whatmore Guinness. They will be the first and only offspring to be offered for sale by him this year at Welshpool Society Sale on the 23rd August.
The pair of lambs then teamed up with the shearling ewe, Wedderburn Gladioli, to win second place in the group of three.
Wedderburn Gummy Bear also had third in the shearling ram class capping a successful week and we are very pleased with these results.
The annual sale at Worcester Livestock Market did not disappoint – what a sale indeed!
Topping our pen of shearling ewes was Wedderburn Golden Girl after she stood fourth in the class in the pre-sale show. Sired by the noted Glencoy Chance and out of the consistent breeder, Lochlad Conker, she was knocked down to Jade Bett for 2500gns.

Next up at 2200gns was Wedderburn Green Goddess. She is by Merryboro Fast and Furious and out of Whatmore Earwig who was reserve breed champion at The Royal Three Counties in 2022. After she had earlier stood second in her class, she was snapped up by Dave Roberts for his Boyo flock.

At the same money was another Fast and Furious daughter in the form of Wedderburn Goldie. She is out of the 20,000gns Candy Floss and finds her new home with Ilona Thompson.

Wedderburn Goldcrest didn’t miss out on the party with the bidding for her capping at 2000gns. She is sired by Boyo Easy On The Eye and out of the prize winning Lochlad Cuckoo. Goldcrest had previously been placed reserve female champion at this year’s Royal Three Counties Show.

Our 9 shearling ewes averaged £1843, which we are highly delighted with.
In the male section Wedderburn Gregor won the male championship in the pre-sale show having previously been placed second in the Royal Three Counties Show. Bidding capped at 1500gns for this Merryboro Fast and Furious son.

We would like to wish all purchasers the best of luck with our sheep and we’d also like to thank the merry bunch of helpers who make it all possible.
