NEW PARAGUAY RECORD SET BY BRITISH-BRED TEXEL RAM
At the National Texel Sale held at the Limpio Showgrounds on Sunday 3rd November, a new Paraguayan all-breeds ram price was set of Gs 88,200,000 (£8,953). Auction House Ferusa Negocios sold the September 2023 born Texel ram from Cabaña La Soñada to the Paiva Family of Rancho Grande Cabin based in Treinta Y Tres, Uruguay.
The record-breaking ram is a son of Soñador Mbarete 136, by the British-bred ram Cambwell Duke bred by Robert & Joyce Laird, Cambwell Farm, Biggar, Scotland as a result of semen exports. Owner of Cabaña La Soñada, Ignacio Callizo, described the ram as very correct throughout.
