CHEVIOT SHEEP SHOW REPORTS 2022
royal highland show 2022
A big thank you to all the exhibitors, old and new, who increased the entry from 36 in 2019 to 41 this year. Unfortunately due to illness and a tragic accident, only 27 were forward. A special thank you must go to Eifion Hughes who made the long journey from Llandeilo in Carmarthen.
The judge, David Goodfellow, picked out a shearling from James Common & Son, Crossdykes as his champion. This shearling is by the £5,500 Becks Revolution who sired the £20,000 Becks Sir Alex which sold to Tom Elliot, Hindhope last October. Reserve male champion, also from Crossdykes, was the three-shear Mountbenger Ace of Diamonds by Crossdykes Optimus out of a Catslack Ace dam.
In the females, the judge found his reserve champion from the shorn ewe class, a three-crop ewe by from W N Douglas, Catslack. Standing reserve female champion was the winner of the unshorn ewe class from J F Irving & Son, Mountbenger. This two-crop ewe is by Crossdykes Optimus out of a Catslack Ace dam.
