We asked Janet how she came to her final decision today. In her own words โThe Ram lamb caught her eye the minute she saw him, he was a flashy lamb with style and correct in all ways, he was untrimmed so very natural with a good skin, he handled so well and did not disappoint, he just had that extra bit of sparkle about himโ. Janet also went on to say โIt was very close between the ram lamb and the gimmer shearling for champion as she was flashy and correct and like the ram lamb handled really wellโ.
Janet throughly enjoyed her day and it was a pleasure to judge such an excellent show of sheep.
Many thanks to Janet for doing such a great job.
