Crowds gathered at Dolgellau market today to witness history being made, as not just one, but two long-standing breed records were broken in a landmark sale for the Welsh Mountain sheep breed.

It was a day to remember for the Jenkins family of Tynygraig, Talybont, who made headlines by setting a new record price for a Welsh Mountain yearling ram — an astonishing 31,000gns. This sale broke the previous record and drew widespread attention from breeders and buyers across the country.

The success didn’t stop there. Other rams from the same outstanding pen sold for 28,000gns, 15,000gns, and 11,500gns, contributing to a remarkable achievement. In total, the Tynygraig family sold eight rams, to an astonishing average of £15,199 — another new record for the breed.

In total, 96 rams were offered for sale, with a strong 82% clearance rate and an impressive overall average price of £2,330.

Daeth tyrfaoedd ynghyd ym Marchnad Dolgellau heddiw i dystio hanes yn cael ei greu, wrth i ddau record    hir-sefydlog y brîd gael eu torri mewn arwerthiant nodedig i Hyrddod Mynydd Cymreig Maldwyn a Cheredigion

Roedd yn ddiwrnod i’w gofio i deulu Jenkins o Tynygraig, Tal-y-bont, a lwyddodd i osod record newydd ar gyfer hyrddod Mynydd Cymreig drwy werthu hwrdd blwydd oed am swm anhygoel o 31,000gns. Gwerthwyd hyrddod eraill o’r un gorlan am 28,000gns, 15,000gns, ac 11,500gns, gan gyfrannu at gamp ragorol. Yn gyfan gwbl, gwerthodd teulu Tŷn-y-Graig wyth hwrdd, gyda chyfartaledd o £15,199 yr un – record gyfartalog newydd i’r brîd.

Roedd 96 o hyrddod ymlaen ar y diwrnod, gyda 82% wedi’u gwerthu, a phris cyfartalog o £2,330 drwy gydol yr arwerthiant.
