 The clearance rate was 99.4% for the 336 rams forward, with 11 rams exceeding 3,000gns and 60 selling for more than 1,000gns.

At only his third sale as a vendor, Mr Pritchard dominated the pre-sale show, with three of his seven entries standing in the top four places.

The top price was for his pre-sale show champion, with the show judged by long term vendor and market staff member, Wilf Greenow, Penyworlod, Abergavenny.

The yearling was by a Lower Argoed-bred ram and was knocked down to Rob Davies, Brecon. Mr Pritchard's pen averaged £9,502.50.

Next up was the reserve champion from Alun Tay, Ystradfellte, which sold at 6,200gns to David Mantle, Crickhowell.

A yearling from Mr Greenow was bought by C. D. Jones, Newtown, 5,500gns and the first of two rams to reach 4,500gns from Rob and Llinos Jones, Builth Wells. The second came from T. O. Jones, Abergavenny, and joined Messrs Mantle.

Again from the champion pen was a yearling at 4,200gns also selling to Mr Greenow and another at 4,000gns which went to R. Williams, Penderyn.

Aged rams saw a 100% clearance topping at 1,100gns for Julian Rees, Crickhowell, with a Lloyney-bred ram which sold to Rob and Llinos Jones, Builth Wells.
