Leading the way at The Royal Bath and West Show in the Kerry Hill classes under judge Ellie Amphlett was a shearling ewe from Micheal Nolan’s flock. This one was purchased as a lamb from John Croose’s Marlbrook flock.

Ellie found her reserve champion in the second placed shearling ewe, this time from Kate Esler and Ed Simmons in the form of a home bred female, Kingswater Custard.
