Bishop does Smithfield Butchers’ sheep double

Andrew Bishop, Gloucester, has continued his rich vein of form at this year’s primestock shows, taking both championship and reserve titles in the Butchers sheep section here at Shepton Mallet.

Taking top spot were his Dutch Texels which had stood first alive and reserve champion carcass, while reserve place went to his Beltex lambs which stood second alive and champion carcass.

This followed his reserve overall championship win in Wales earlier this week and his champion and reserve titles from the English Winter Fair at Stafford.

It look’s like it’ll be another good day for the Bishops tomorrow too, so come back and check for more results later.
