Sales of Whitefaced Woodland Sheep
The biggest sale of Whitefaced Woodlands is held on the last Saturday of September, recently at Bretton Mill Farm, Haigh, near Barnsley or at Holmfirth. At least 250 Woodlands – mainly unregistered sheep – change hands. Rams are judged before the sale begins, and the winners are assured of excellent prices. The Champion is awarded the magnificent Ken Wild trophy, in memory of the renowned Woodland breeder. The Auctioneers are William Sykes & Co. of Holmfirth (01484 683543).
The Rare Breed Survival Trust holds a Show
and Sale for Traditional Native Breeds early in September at
Melton Mowbray Market. This is a two-day event, with showing
on the Friday and the auction sale on the Saturday.
Whitefaced Woodlands can compete for the David Goodchap
Memorial Cup and the Goodchap trophy and the winner is
eligible for the Interbreed class.
