A trio of new centre records were established at the Southdown Sheep Society’s Premier Sale, Worcester, with new marks set for shearling rams, ram lambs and shearling ewes, with a number of relatively new and young breeders making their mark.
Thirteen-year-old sheep enthusiast Owen Thomas has been helping Southdown breeder Patrick Goldsworthy with his two flocks of Southdowns. Here Owen explains why he likes sheep, amongst other things!
