Results from the 2nd day at Stafford County show, where our breed excelled again! Congratulations to Gill & Tim Glover who not only won both the wool on the hoof breed classes but then went on to take the overall supreme wool on the hoof championship with their homebred shearling ram Sproxton Charlie. There were great results too in the fleece classes, and I was delighted to finish 4th in the Interbreed championship line up of 20 breed champions with my homebred ram Moss Ross Bouncer too!
