The Supreme Show Champion went to Fred & Bryn Robinson with Preenbank Lord Charles born 6/3/16, sired by Seawell Invader out of homebred Preenbank Christabel. A thick,fleshy animal with a good temperament. He was Junior Male Champion a the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show (RWAS) in 2017. His sire was purchased from Welshpool in 2015 as reserve male champion and also reserve male champion at the RWAS 2016. Lord Charles is from a very young well proven foundation female line, that has constantly produced very good breeding bulls and females retained in the herd. Unfortunately he didn’t make the price required for such a supreme bull.
