ALEX,IZZY(EWE LAMB) AND SHARON
On Saturday we travelled to Gosford in Armagh and our son Alex had a very succesful day. He won overall champion Jacob with his pedigree ewe lamb Izzy and then went on to win the cup for the Young Handlers competition. There were over 45 Jacob sheep in the show section and we were very pleased to come home with the new trophy presented by Ross and Evelyn Mowbray for champion Jacob. The sale at Gosford was very good with the ewes and ewe lambs making great money but there was a large entry of pedigree ram lambs so the prices were average. The top priced Jacob on the day was a shearling 2 horn ram sold by Joe mulholland for £280. The showing season is over now in the North for the Jacobs but we will have a full line up for next year again. We had a few suprise early lambings last month and we will have new lambs born again in January so there will hopefully be plenty more ewe lambs for sale.
