Well this pic pretty much summed up today. The judge were cack, judged on size and not wool, which is stupid on a breed which has been bred for WOOL!

Win or not, it looks like it was a great day. Lots of Steam, and your sheep too! I dont think you can beat that at all.

Aye mate! I've got to go back tomorrow aswell, were gonna stop in the Ifor Williams hotel tonight but thought I might as well come home.

If he were a wool judge, I'd have done better, and me tup lamb was born at least a month after the rest

Anyways, everyone always aims for Lincs as the big show, and this year the Americans are coming to judge, and they're big wool men

Winning? I wish

That'll take a few years

For anyone local I really recommend going, it's a good show, celebrating 125 years this year, BUT it's nowhere near as good as Lincs

Seriously, we spent like 4 hours pulling Eric's wool out, and so did the rest of the breeders, bar one. The one which won had had nothing done to it, and looked scruffy as hell, just it was the biggest
