Sheep at the Agriculture Show
Over the two days of our Agricultural show (6-7 June, 10am-4pm) we will be welcoming a huge variety of sheep from farmers based all over the U.K. All will be competing in classes within different sections.
Primitive Sheep - Some of the oldest breeds that exist, breeds like the Soay, Hebridean and Castlemilk Moorits.
Hill and Heath - These are breeds that are from the upland areas of the U.K. and include breeds like the Norfolk Horn, Whitefaced Woodland and Derbyshire Gritstone.
Longwool - These breeds are known for their fine fleeces and their wool is used to make clothing and other garments, some breeds in section include, Leicester longwool, Greyface Dartmoor and Border Leicester.
Downland - These are breeds that are some our biggest and most developed and include breeds like the Oxford Down, Shropshire and Ryeland.
Come along and see how many sheep breeds you can spot, who will be winning the prizes and go on to ultimately win the much converted interbreed Championship.
