FOREWORD
Welcome to the Punchbowl Genetics Ewe Dispersal Sale, being held over two
days, 15th and 22nd February 2022.
Sadly we have decided to call time on our busy breeding business. Both our
children, Simon and Alice have their own careers and it is time for us to move on.
Ram breeding, despite making day to day farm management more complex, has
afforded us many friendships through annual sales and show events. It has been
a pleasure to get to know so many people very well and enjoy their company and
shared passion for sheep breeding over so many years.
The ewes presented are the basis of our four studs (Suffolk, SuffolkTexel,
Polldorset and Polldorset Texel. We have only retained some older ewes in the
Suffolk stud (2016’s and older) The sale ewes are very much in natural condition
and were all scanned in lamb in 2021.
Thank you to everyone who attends our sale and thank you to those that purchase
ewes. We wish you all the best in your future breeding programmes.
Regards,
Doug and Jeannie Brown
