Back from Great Yorkshire ..wonderful to see folk back in the show ring after the terrible time they all had around there last year .. entries down but only by about 30 percent ....
Nice to see friends who bough a Black Shetland ram from us four years ago win the Shetland Championship Found many of the commercial breeds were just fat ..like real jiggly .. wondered if the poor rams will get a leg over... pity as we felt the sheep underneath was a good one Fleece competition as fiercely competitive as ever .. but we brought the Shetland Trophy back and cam Reserve Best in Show with Ryeland fleece from the yearling ewe we have given to a friend who lost all her flock (sired by her RHS Champion who is no more) Back on the road at 0400 to deliver fleeces to spinners and bring back the competition ones..
