Events
- Skipton Show & Sale 4th September 2010 - results coming soon- download the sale catalogue here
- Northern Region Flock Competition and Assessment 2010 - click here for information
- Regional Open Day - Around 60 people attended our May open day at Ron and Florence Verity's Crambe flock near York.
Stephen Dodsworth brought some of his four horned sheep for a useful judges' seminar overseen by regional field officer Dennis Lowther. Ron, Florence and family had gone to a lot of effort getting the place ready and competitions organised - including 'guess the weight' of the lambs with two nice Lleyn x Jacobs from John Fozzard. A local shearer gave a demonstration of machine shearing (Trevor and Pat Black brought most of their ewes for short back and sides !)
We were blessed with fine weather and treated to a superb lunch in the marquee - all in all an excellent day.
4 shearlings were placed in the judging competition

News
- The as reported in the regional minutes, I have been liaising with Jean Fowler of Castle Sculptures http://www.castlesculptures.co.uk/index.htm for her to begin production of Jacob sheep models to add to her existing range of breeds. Her four-horned ram has now been produced and I think it is pretty good. Although the horns are 'as cast', she can paint the sheep to individual specifications if required. I am planning to do a write up with some pics for the next Journal..
