Preenbank Pedigrees

Following the success of our texels at Worcester we have also sold our southdown yearling tup Preenbank Hagrid privately to the Chaileybrook flock for a undisclosed four figure sum. This really is some tup with scale, bone, skin, shape and style with a leg in each corner, He was sired by our Brechfa tup which we purchased as a lamb. Thanks to Country Girl media for sending us the photo of this spectacular lad. We wish you the best of luck with him and look forward to seeing his progeny on the ground next year.

Finally also a huge thankyou to everyone that donated to the raffle. We raised in the end £1200 that will be split between Cancer Research and Sands. The ewe lamb was won by Jack Robb a young breeder who's not long come into the breed so we couldn't be any happier with that result.

Were very excited to announce the raffle prize for Saturday! A cracking ewe lamb by Strawfrank Glenfiddich who has produced us some serious sheep. This ewe lamb is one of the picks of this crop and will be a stunning yearling to go round the show circuit next year. We are raising money for Cancer Research and Sands. It's something we've always talked about doing as we lost mum to cancer and other family also being affected. Sands is also a charity that has very much helped a family member aswell and are thought of very highly by us. So to enter the raffle you MUST have a CPH number and the raffle is £10 a strip cash on the day. Shes bluetongue vaccinated and we are happy to blood test if she gets won across the border! Someone will be winning this corker! Might just be you!! Shropshire & Borders Texel Club
