Royal Welsh Spring Festival 2017

Anyone going?

Was thinking of going but having just looked at the sheep sections its mainly welsh mountain sheep and welsh mountain throwbacks which i can see at home?

Anyone go last year? interested to hear what the stock was like other than welsh mountains?

Any Bluefaced Leicesters

Never been. Would like to go once just to see for myself. Probably not this year though...

I think its ridiculously expensive compared to the main RWAS. I did the winter fare a few yrs ago and was very disappointed. Its 1.5hrs travelling and entry fee I couldnt see what the fuss was about. If you have the time then go for it. I just thought it was very limited to what is was offering.

They used to call it the smallholders fair which I'm told was a more accurate name for it.

Im mainly interested in the sheep sections, but looking at the entry forms there are plenty of welsh mountain sections like balwens, badger face, black mountain and welsh mountains. think there is one for continentals and one for lowlands, shame as id go if there was more stock to gorp at

People who have been in the past tell me it's a good day out. More homely than the Royal Welsh apparently.
