THREE COUNTIES SHOW HERE WE COME

The start of sheep showing season is upon us.  We started off at the Smallholders Show at Builth Wells where Noble won 3rd in his class and Caroline and my Oakberrow Pizzazz won 3rd in a strong shearling class.  The beautiful Antonia - Greyfaced Dartmoor - won a creditable 2nd at her very first show!

The next week we attended Shropshire County Show http://shropshirecountyshow.com/  and had a great day winning Male and Breed champion with Dolwen Noble, 1st and Reserve Female Champion with our ewe lamb whose sire is the fabulous Juggis Laser.  The Dartmoors also did well with Apollo winning third, Antonia 4th and baby Lara 4th.

We then set off down to the Royal Bath and West Show http://bathandwest.com/  .  Russell Howell was the judge and we are up against the legendary Richard Wear.  I did manage to beat Richard in the Ewe lamb class so our little girl won her class and gained a 2nd Reserve Female Champion.  Noble and Pizzazz both were 2nd in their class and the shearling ewe 3rd.  We were also 2nd in the group of 3 and 2nd in the pairs.  Also Russell nominated Noble as Reserve Male Champion, so all in all a great day.

Today we have been sorting which of the sheep are going to Three Counties Show - 15/17 June - so come along and see.  New for the show this year - Ladies Day on Friday and Kids go Free on Saturday.  www.threecounties.co.uk.
