Entries for the Annual sale of Clun Forest Sheep at Ludlow (to be held on Friday 8th September) close THIS friday 4th August. All members have been posted an entry form but they can also be downloaded on the website under "Society Sale" 

What a tremendous display of Clun Forest Sheep there was at the 2023 Royal Welsh Show. It was lovely to welcome more new exhibitors join the ranks at the show and the classes growing. The Clun Forest classes were held at midday on Tuesday 25th July and judged by Mr Lewis Beddie who had made the journey down from Scotland to adjudicate. 

He found his champion in Gwawr Llewelyn Hughes homebred Shearling Ewe "Eryri Fancy" - sired by a Hayton ram out of a Aber-Rheon Ewe. She won a 12 strong shearling ewe class before going on to take both the Female and then Overall Breed Champion. 

It was even more pleasing that the Champion went on to stand Overall Reserve Lowland Champion in the Interbreed championship judged on the Thursday of the show. 

Male Champion and Reserve Breed champion fell to I T Davies & Son 2 shear Sarnesfield bred ram. Purchased from the society sale in the Autumn of 2022, this upstanding ram took the Overall Championship at Royal Three Counties earlier in the year before coming onto victory at the Royal Welsh. The I T Davies flock also took home reserve female Champion with their homebred Hondu ewe lamb. 

Reserve male champion was from the long-standing Court-Llacca flock of M Eckley and his homebred shearling Ram Court-Llacca Fernando. 

The CFSBS was also delighted to unveil their brand-new Society stand - designed and supplied by Agri Marketing, it is hoped this stand will take the society forward and allow a good precense at many events in the future.
