A great day Frome Agricultural & Cheese Show yesterday showing our Southdown sheep.
2nd 🥈 for our ram,
2nd🥈 for aged ewe Fudge (and where the winner of that class went on to win reserve champion in the interbreed championship)
2nd 🥈 for our shearling ewe and…
1st 🥇 in group of 3 🥰
We then went into the group of 3 championship where we were pulled forward as judges consideration, but just missed out.
With the ram lambs we were 5th (Meg) & 6th out of a huge class of 16 entries. And I came 5th in a large class of ewes (when Megan came 2nd) so basically Megan beat me most of the day 🤣
I am so pleased with the results and I just love showing along side my children. Go Team Henley Hill Southdowns ❤️🤩.
We also got absolutely drenched in the group of 3 championship, but still enjoyable day.

Lovely day at Honiton show yesterday showing with my daughter Megan 🥰. First time showing in a Southdown only class and they were strong classes of sheep. Pleased to come away with a 4th 🟢 for my ewe lamb in a strong class of 9 and 3rd 🟡 for group of 3. Well done to everyone competing. Great to see Gunton flock and East Dean flock and meet new faces too.
It was a great show very agricultural still which we loved.
If you have southdowns consider supporting this show and keeping the Southdown class going 🙏🏻. We will be back next year 🤞🏼

Very pleased with my new additions to Henley Hill Southdowns flock purchased at The Southdown Society sale today at Worcester.
Purchases from Chaileybrook, Beiliau and Fulfen flocks. Some great looking, strong sheep with good bloodlines and full of character. They will compliment my existing flock 👌🏻🤩

When it has hardly rained since March and grass is so short that you let your sheep in the garden to have a nibble 😳🤣
Really need the rain ☔️ but just more sun 🤦🏼‍♀️
On the upside I enjoy sitting in the garden with the southdowns 🥰🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Shearing 2025 done ✔️ Massive thank you to Alan Ham shearing services for a great job done.
Always amazing with my southdowns as they are woolly from their head to their toes and not a shearers favourite 🤣
Can relax now knowing the sheep are all sorted 🥰 now to start looking forward to our show season late summer 🤩

Lambs are growing nicely 👌🏻, they have coped with the wet weather and enjoyed the sunshine ☀️🐑🐑
Moving to a new field this weekend and praying for dry weather to continue 🤞🏼 who else is constantly moving sheep because of wet weather?

Southdowns enjoying the sunshine ☀️ today, let them in the garden to eat the grass 🤣. The lambs had great fun running around together and climbing on anything and everything 🥰❤️🐑🐑🐑🐑
