Breeding Rams
The show was kindly sponsored by Robinson & Co Accountants and Macmin Ltd. Judging the ram section was Miss Eilidh Hortin, Murtles and Mr Will Rogerson, Maison Gill, they both conducted an expert job and commented on the great quality of rams forward. The championship rosette was presented to WW&D Boow, Corney Hall with a Beltex x Texel Shearling later selling for £1500. Reserve honours went to A McCutcheon, Bodoney with a Beltex Shearling selling for £1600.
The evening sale once again created a great atmosphere with strong rams very well bid for.
