TEXEL stock tup

[pgkane]

Currently looking for a pure bred high index texel ram that's been predominantly grass fed and run on a commercial type system but still want something with a decent carcass. Just wondering if Any one has any experience of sheep form the Pen Y Gelli flock in Wales or recommend any places to go have a look at, where they have had good stock from.

I’ve met Alwyn several times when CT scanning lambs at Aberystwyth, where he always seems to get the time slot next to me, so have time for a chat over a cuppa while lambs are being scanned.
He’s very keen on grassland management and on genetic improvement, and not at all keen on the ‘feeders’ in the pedigree world and on sheep that are bred to need ceasars.

If I were looking for a Texel, he’d certainly be near the top of my list.

@gatepost ‘s rams always seem to do rather well on RamCompare too, but I haven’t seen any in the flesh for a long time.

Alwyn is a good bloke, dealt with him in the past and runs his flock on a grass based system it’s a good farm and sheep are always on good grass but they don’t see a bag of feed all of his tups are in the top 1% and I would highly recommend his stock, Alternatively I have some recorded texel shearlings and ram lambs grass fed unpushed for sale

Are you Mv accredited? Do you have any pics and breeding of your stock?

A friend of mine, a very good stockman, has bought two Incheoch tups to use as stock sires on his Texel flock and is getting on well with them.

Always liked there philosophy and the look of there stock, they had a hell of a sale last year

I can supply you with hardy, muscley and alert Texels, without the big heads. Born outside in April. Lambs sold to 6k last year.
MV accredited and Scrapie Monitored.

Any pictures, and the breeding behind them?

that’s some of last years lambs, they are very similar this year.
Sire is Procters Class Act, purchased for 8.5k.

Thanks, bit not quite sure they are the type I'm aiming for with my texels. But thanks

I've got a cracking stock ram from Peter with all the right numbers , low dag & Dec scores....good shaped lambs too

 

[pgkane]

Do you have any pictures of what he's produced? I'm trying to get a gauge of what's out there without travelling for days and days

I’m no texel man but they look grand.

Try John Uffold near Ludlow, Broncroft flock. Not recorded, but fine headed cracking sheep. He’s the auctioneer in Ludlow, so knows what the market requires.

Do they have a production sale every year at there place?

If it him auctioning them you wouldn't know which one you were bidding on
