This ram lamb was bred by Sue Andrews of Miserden Blue Texels and was sired by Pen-y-Bec Old Blue Arrow, who has been used extensively in the Miserden flock, out of a daughter of one of Miserden&#8217;s foundation ewes bought from Dennis Davies. I have also got the use of Pen-y-Bec Old Blue Arrow to put on a few ewes this season.<\/p>\n<p>My second purchase at Builth was ram lamb Millend Thunder Bold. This ram lamb is by a Millend tup out of a Marteg ewe. Both ram lambs have settled in well at Bearwood after their ordeal at the sales.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_465\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-465\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bearwoodfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/SANY0037.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-465\" title=\"Pen-y-Bec Old Blue Arrow \" src=\"http:\/\/bearwoodfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/SANY0037-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pen-y-Bec Old Blue Arrow\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bearwoodfarm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/SANY0037-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bearwoodfarm.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/SANY0037-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pen-y-Bec Old Blue Arrow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was aware that my female ewes were all from a particular bloodline and I am very pleased that the rams that I will be using this season are not closely related to the ewes and will compliment them well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the NSA Ram Sale at Builth Wells, mid-Wales yesterday to look at Blue Texel rams.
