Royal Highland Winter Fair 2010

Taking the Texel championship at this week's Royal Highland Winter Fair, and with it the Francis Brown Perpetual Challenge Trophy, were a pair of lambs from the Hall family, Inglewood Edge, Carlisle. These 92kg pair are by Coniston Naughty But Nice, a tup bred by Jennifer Aiken and are out of homebred Beltex cross ewes.

Reserve Texel champions were a pair of 88kg lambs from Richard and Granville Colegrave, Inchture, Perthshire. These are by a homebred pure tup which goes back to Wiston lines and are also out of Beltex cross ewes.
