Blakesley Show |

| Lesley Mead entered five Southdowns in the non accredited
breeding sheep classes - two ram lambs, a pair of ewe lambs and a ram. Most of
the sheep forward in these classes were Continental breeds- Beltex, Texel and
Charolais. We had a Fourth with one of the ram lambs. At first we were
disappointed but on reflection we did well against these continental breeds.
One exhibitor complimented us on taking the Southdowns. (Lesley Mead, Tel. 01525 270135) |
