Making that money was Woodson Pedrog son that stood reserve male at the Royal Welsh, from Rob and Vicky Grinnall’s Beech Hay flock, from Clay Farm, Worcester.

He sold to Scottish cattle breeder John Pirie, Chapel Park, Lynchat, Kingussie.

The same vendors collected 1700gns for the sire, Woodston Pedrog, a two-shear tup bred by Philippa Ball. Reserve male champion at the pre-sale show, he was bought by RJ Heigh, Brook House, Bentham, Lancaster.
