It was fantastic to see a strong line-up of Wensleydales in the Pair of Purebred Longwool Lambs (Any weight) in the Butchers Lambs Sheep Classes held at Countryside Live. With most Longwool Breeds represented including Leicester Longwools, Teeswaters and Greyface Dartmoors it was an all Wensleydale line-up with the results as follows;
1st Mr J B Brittan
2nd Miss A Pennell
3rd Mr A Duffield
4th Mr A Duffield
