New Sale Date Added
A new association sale has been added to the list and will take place on Saturday 30th August at Borderway Mart, Carlisle. The sale will be open to all ages of Rams and Females for both MV and Non MV sheep. More details will follow soon.
Oxfordshire breeder Harry Bishop (Astlebury Flock No 925) and Emily South had a great result for the Oxford Down breed yesterday at the South of England Winter Fair. Their Oxford x Beltex carcass won the champion carcass in the native class, with a 49kg live lamb, killing out at 25kg. This carcass went on to win the overall reserve champion carcass of the show. It was sired by a home-bred Oxford ram from Harry's Astlebury flock out of a Beltex ewe.
Congratulations to Harry and Emily on their success, which provides valuable publicity for the breed and shows what the Oxford can produce commercially as a terminal sire.
