Steve, myself and all at Oakberrow wish all our friends a family best wishes for the festive season.
2012 has been an exciting year with our first Greyfaced Dartmoor Lambs being born at Oakberrow. Also Gin having her gorgeous litter of Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla pups. Foster winning the Challenge Certificate at Paignton Championship Dog Show and also Best of Breed. At the beginning of the year both Gin and Foster won their Show Certificates of Merit.
Success at the shows with the Ryeland Sheep and my year as President of the Ryeland Flock Book Society which ends soon and the Presidency will be handed over to John Donovan. The Workshop for Ryeland members held in August at the Three Counties Showground which was a resounding success with 80 members attending. Although hard work thoroughly enjoyable and very rewarding with all having gone home having learnt something.
The launch of the web site - it is a year old and has been visited and enjoyed by many, however there is always work to do to improve.
2013 - Lambing course dates set - see under Learning courses.
Exciting judging appointments for both dogs and sheep for myself and Steve for sheep and Longhorn cattle.
From all at Oakberrow best wishes
