Derwent Valley Caleb and Derwent Valley Conrad - registered Norfolk Horn shearling rams. Two quality boys, both halter trained and mannerly, fit and ready to work.
Hoping they will very shortly be BTV vaccinated, otherwise they are bolused, clik extra and in the bravoxin system.

Another good day for the teeswater team at Cockermouth Agricultural Show on Saturday.
The Any Other Native section had some big classes with six different breeds being shown.
Derwent Hanley won the shearling ram class and went on to stand Champion 🏆
Other results - aged ram Howe Wath Fergus was 2nd in the ram class, and ewe Derwent Camilla, shearling ewe Harriet and the tup lamb were all 3rd in their classes. Congratulations to Harry Jopson for reserve with his stunning Cheviot ram lamb 👏 and winning the ewe class too
Thanks to judge Alice Hayton

For the teeswater section we only had the one pen and took two aged tups. Our stock tup Howe Wath Fergus stood second in the 8-strong ram class. Fergus is the sire of some of the shearling tups we have available. Congratulations to Amy Pattison for champion and reserve.

Pairs (Dwayne and Davina) 5th
And the Torwen gimmer shearling also placed 5th - and was the worst behaved 🫣
