North of England flock competition results

North of England flock competition results, judged by Oliver Chapman.

Commenting on his judging experience, Oliver Chapman said he had a tremendous show of sheep to judge across the various flocks. “The champion flock was a fantastic example of the breed which married pedigree and commercial attributes together, while maximising the number of sheep on the area farmed. The power of the shearling ewes of the champion flock, considering they had been lambed as hoggs, were a real credit to the Galtres flock. 

“I was also particularly impressed with the first placed senior ram in the large flock, Boyo Uncle Brian, from the Skelton Whin flock. He was a ram showing no age at all, with a great carcass. There is some tremendous sheep in the northern region and it was a privilege to be asked to judge them.”
