Intense competition in the sheep classes at Agri-Expo

Some tremendous sheep classes ensured a capacity crowd around the sheep ring this morning with the judge Bill McKinnon from Stirlingshire having his work cut out.

Collecting the supreme championship was an outstanding pair of Beltex lambs from Andrew Baillie from Lanark. In reserve place another great win for R Hall and Son, Carlisle with a really eye-catching pair of Texel lambs.

One of the most popular classes of the morning has been the pair of mule gimmer lambs class judged by Brian Ridsdale from Penrith. The standard of quality in this class was extremely high and both the first and second prizes went to entries from Ron and Fran Wilson from Armathwaite.
