Steven and Ellen John of the Old School flock clinched the breed championship at this year’s Royal Three Counties Show and then went one step further by winning the interbreed other breeds championship on the second day of the show. This one is a Fencoat-bred male, purchased as a lamb from Ludlow.

Standing reserve was a homebred shearling ewe, Kingswater Charlotte, from Kate Esler and Ed Simmons. Class results are also listed below for the Sunday classes at the show.
