Edstaston Charollais - Shows and Sales
Record breaking purchase for the Edstaston Flock
We are very pleased and excited with our new record breaking purchase Knockin Shockin . The previous breed record which had stood for 9 years for a Charollais sheep of £11,340 was smashed with a new record of £26,250 being set.
Lot No. 174 - 17XXJ376 Knockin Shockin ARR/ARR
Bred by Abbie Moseley of Knockin Hall Farm, Oswestry, Shockin took all before him in the pre-sale show. He won the recorded ram lamb class and then went on to win Supreme Champion of the show.
I have followed this lambs progress for a long time now and have always thought he was something special. He has outstanding Charollais qualities of length, width and a serious back-end and he is also in the top 5% of the breed for performance with an overall index of 377.
Shockins sire Oakchurch Ruben was purchased at Worcester Premier 2016 for 3,200 gns. by Abbie. His dam is a home-bred ewe that has Arjane Jumanji and Dalby Malachite in her pedigree.
