The year was rounded off with our Female Show and Sale
at Exeter in early November. A ewe lamb from Aimee Mogford
secured the Champion rosette from judge Angus Howie and was
the top priced Ewe lamb at 600 gns whilst a Shearling, in-lamb
with twins stood in Reserve and made a top price of 650 gns for
Michael Waycott. Although a smaller entry than usual, eager
buyers were keen to snap-up the Suffolks on offer, achieving a
complete clearance. Many thanks to Angus for judging the show
classes. Thanks also to Denis Brinicombe for donating the prize for
the show Champion.
Finally, a big thank you to Russell Steer and Kivells for their
continued support.
