A couple of days ago D and I went to the Sheep Southwest show, here in Devon. It was an opportunity to catch up with some of the farmers I work with as well as meet some new ones with some new breeds that might be of interest for the shop.
We had a lovely day and came home with a touch of sunburn... Ouch! But much more than that, I feel like I learned a lot more about breeding, fleece presentation, new breeds and maybe a glimpse of farming. Not all of it necessary for retailing fibre, but I think certainly gives me a better understanding about the life of the fibres I use... Something which interests me greatly.
Yeah, I came home with a fleece! A Masham that won 3rd in the fleece competition... The luster and curl is beautiful!
Sheep photos are; Zwartbles (black and White) and Roussin.
