Commenting on his judging experience, Johnny would like to thank the south of Scotland region for asking him to judge.

“The champion flock from Russell Gray showed great breed characteristics good bodies good skins good legs and they had a bit of spark. They were very uniform right through with a good batch of ewe lambs to add to the flock”.

“My reserve champion flock was John Andrew This flock was very similar to my winners good sound ewes, but some didn’t have as much character This flock won the ewe lambs with a great bunch of lambs with a bit of power good bodies and nice style”.

Helen Sloan and her daughter Hannah won the small flocks, Johnny commented “these ewes where bright with good heads good skins and very even. They also won the ewe lambs with a batch of long clean lambs which will grow into a good crop of gimmers”.

“Reserve in the small flocks was S Ramsey with a powerful bunch of ewes, wide and uniform This flock also won the junior ram award with a stylish lamb good on his legs and good skin”.
