Oustanding Success at 3 Counties Show.
This years show has seen an amazing result for the Lincolns. A stunning success for Joan Newman and Louise & Ian Fairburn in the interbreed pairs, taking the championship, was followed by Louise & Ians ewe in wool winning the interbreed champioship.

This is the first year Ian and Louise had shown at the 3 Counties and the classes for Lincolns were a credit to all the exhibitors. John Toolan judged with great professionalism and awarded the champoinship to Ian & Louise's ewe in wool, with Joan Newman's 2 shear ram reserve.
The pair went into the interbreed and to everyones amazement took the title.
This is the first ever victory for Lincolns at the 3 counties show.
However it wasn't over. Louise & Ian's ewe went into the interbreed and took the top spot for any sheep (except terminal sires). This is an outstanding achievement when the number of sheep is considered, well over 800.
See the "What's Happening" page for more show pictures.

Even more excitement as Ian and Louise feature in the press! A story in the loacal press has been picked up by the National Media telling the story of their wonderful wedding featuring Lincolns in more ways than one.

We have also had significant success in marketing Lincoln lamb as a quality meat. The Association has received considerable support in this from Meridian Meats. They have had some very good news as Jim Sutcliffe, one of their butchers, has just won "Young Butcher of the Year". To read all about it got to their website.

Mike Harrison has appeared on BBC 1's "Countryfile" program on the 6th of December in a interesting piece on sheep droving. He took 17 Lincoln sheep on a walk for three miles along an old drove road. The flock looked wonderful and this is an excellent advert for the breed. Well done Mike. Here is a link to the program page.
