We were invited by Brymore Academy to visit the school and give the boys a demonstration on trimming Closewool sheep for the show ring. Raymond Kingdon kindly agreed to impart his knowledge and together with Jean Kingdon, Matthew and Esther Bray we spent a lovely afternoon at this amazing school. What fantastic work they are doing giving boys the opportunity to learn about farming, and horticulture as well as many other practical and academic subjects and sports in a relaxed, calm, kind environment. Fabulous!
Evie Olde did very well at the South of England Agricultural Show coming 3rd in the Young Handler class with her very smart Closewool lamb. Evie is our youngest member and we are thrilled that she has caught the showing bug already! Good girl Evie 👏🐑🏆🥇👏
Super proud of the kids! Second show in and Alfie went and bagged champion with his shearling ewe for the hill and heath section! He also came 2nd with his shearling ram and 2nd in the young handlers.
Evie came 3rd in the young handlers but the main thing is they both had the best weekend!

Very well done to Richmond Harding for winning his class at Royal Cornwall with his Devon Closewool fleece 🐑🥇🐑
Congratulations to Gail Sprake who took a number of her Closewools to Suffolk County Show last week in the Any Other Native Breed classes and won the Shearling Ram class and also took Male Champion! These were large classes of a variety of breeds including Border Leicesters, Lleyns, Boreays and Bluefaced Leicesters. Gail also achieved 2nd prizes with her shearling ewe, ram lamb and ewe lamb so proving that the Devon Closewool can hold it's own against the other breeds 🐑🏆🥇🐑 Well done Gail and good luck at Royal Norfolk at the end of the month.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.The Rennie family did the Closewools proud yesterday in the Any Other Native breed classes at the Bath and West Show. First in the shearling ram class and the aged ram classes, third in the ram lamb class, fourth in the huge shearling ewe class and second in the group. They just missed out in the Championship to two very showy Clun Forests but what an amazing achievement to be placed in such hot company never mind to win two classes! Fkying the flag for the Devon Closewools 🐑🏆🥇
The Rennie family have arrived at the Royal Bath and West Show with their Devon Closewool sheep. We wish them the very best of luck in the Any Other Native Breed class tomorrow morning 🤞🐑🥇🏆
