Lovely day at Dorset County Show yesterday ☀️ We won reserve breed champion with our shearling ram Halsbury E-type and first with our group of three. Well done to Blackertor Valais Black Nose Sheep winning the overall breed champion with their aged ram. Nice to end the showing season on a high, thanks also to Emma for putting on a great bbq last night Valais Blacknose Sheep Uk Dorset
