Returning to the show ring with a bang for this year was Tom Evans and his Calcott flock as he secured both the champion and reserve champion spot at the RWAS Spring Festival under judge Gwilym Pugh, as well as being short listed in the interbreed line up. 

His champion was the winner of the aged ram class who won as a shearling ram at the 2022 show. He’s a homebred son of a previous show winning ram Calcott Stanley and is also the sire of some of this year’s crop of lambs for the flock. 

Meanwhile, taking the reserve championship rosettes was the homebred shearling ewe, again by Stanley. 

Also flying the flag for the Kerry Hill breed was Old School Kerry Hills as their winning group of three from the breed class then went on to stand reserve interbreed group of three. Young Henry and Amelia John from the Old School Kerry Hills flock did the breed proud in the young handlers classes coming first and 5^th, respectively.
