Re: Sheep breed of the week
My first day of sheep paparazzi-ing since September 2019 yesterday and LOTS of sheep at the Royal Lancs Show including more breeds than I've seen there before.
Manx Loaghtan.
Border Leicester. Gotta love those ears!

Re: Sheep breed of the week
Well attended. I thought I'd arrived too early but still had to stand in fifty yard queue, and there was still a queue to get in when I left around three. People glad to get out and about again.
It got warm too.
It was good to get back and see familiar old faces again. One farmer I spoke to said they'd missed the social side of the shows and of the auction marts where there was no hanging around to see how your stock sold, have a brew and a chat in the cafe, just drop them sheep off and drive away.

I think many of us have missed the ordinary things we enjoy, be it fishing, photography, or whatever we do.

Checking for equal size, good weight and no lumps.
