Cargriff Mandela (pictured) from Camarthenshire breeder G S Morris took the championship at the British Charolais Cattle Societys spring bull show and sale at Welshpool last week. This son of Mortimers Jaguar, and out of Ensdon Candy, was claimed by T E Williams and Son, Caersws, at 2200gns. But the top price of 2600gns went to Tynewydd Mal, an October 1996-bred son of Taxal Charlie and bred out of a Chesham cow. From D T and M O Morgan, Llangorse, Brecon, this bull was bought by G P Pugh and Co, Rhayader. Overall, 25 head averaged £1467. (Welshpool Livestock Sales.)
