Flock Assessments- 24th/ 25th /26th September 2010

The Eastern Region Flock Assessments will be held over the weekend of 24th/25th/26th September. Flocks will be assessed on Friday afternoon, the majority on Saturday and the remainder on Sunday. I will contact you nearer the time with an exact date and time for your flock visit- once we have a list of participants and decided on a route!
Our Judges will be Stephanie Sleightholme and John Fozzard from the Northern Region. Unfortunately, the rules have been changed for the 2010 flock competitions so there MUST be a ram present which will be used on the ewes this year. If no ram is present, the flock can still be assessed but NOT enter the competition although the £15 fee still applies.

There will be two sections for the assessment with a number of classes in each. The classes will be;

1. Best Large Flock – 10 ewes or more          4. Best ram (shearling or older) in region
2. Best Small Flock – 9 ewes or less               5. Best ewe lamb in region
3. Best ram lamb in region                              6. Best shearling ewe in region

There is also a new trophy (purchased with the winnings from the East of England JSS promotion stand in 2008) to be awarded to the Best Ewe in Region.
The Judges would like to see all your sheep – this is also a perfect chance to get an expert opinion and advice on y. This is also a perfect chance to get an expert opinion and advice on your flock.
