Texel Show Report Devon County Show

Texel sheep breeders put on a fine display of top quality genetics at Devon County Show, which also earned them the top interbreed championship.

Champion - QEL09132

Leading the way was EW Quick and Sons, Crediton, Devon with a shearling ewe QEL09132 from their Loosebeare flock. The ewe, who was praised by interbreed judge John Coultrip, Faversham, Kent, for being “an incredibly stylish, balanced ewe with great locomotion and structure”, is by a past Royal Show champion Lyons Hall King of Clubs. She is out of a ewe by Haltcliffe Luke and is one of 300 pedigree ewes run alongside the Quick’s pedigree Limousin herd.

The Quick family also took the reserve spot in the interbreed group of three championships, reserve championship in the interbreed pairs championships and reserve Texel championship with an aged ram.
