HRH The Princess Royal

16^th August 2018

HRH The Princess Royal will visit the NSA Wales and Border Ram Sale, Europe’s biggest, as the event celebrates its 40^th anniversary at the Royal Welsh Showground on Monday 17 ^th September 2018. The organisers of the sale are delighted.

The multi-breed ram sale was the brainchild of the late Verney Pugh OBE and masterminded by the late George Hughes MBE, who chaired the committee for 32 years.  It is a huge economic driver in Mid Wales and its emphasis on quality and veterinary inspection has helped to improve standards.

The late Queen Mother was an early supporter. She sent North Country Cheviot rams down from her Castle of Mey home on a regular basis from 1981 until the mid 1900s.
