Alan Clark and family’s Garngour flock continued its flying form on this summer’s show circuit, collecting another breed championship at today’s Great Yorkshire Show with gimmer CJN2107552.
This Procters Chumba Wumba daughter is out of Teiglum-bred dam by former sire of the year Knock Bantastic. She had picked up the red ticket in the gimmer class before going on to be tapped out as female and overall champion by judge Richard Currie, Tullagh.
And it was ladies day all round when the second prize gimmer from Keith, Alan and Roy Campbell took the reserve female championship and reserve overall championship. This was CKC2113649, Hexel Django daughter out of a homebred dam by Teiglum Charmer.
Leading the way in the males on the day was Gordon Gray’s shearling ram winner from the homebred shearling ram class, GGH2111171. Sired by Douganhill Despeardo, he is out of a dam by Usk Vale Albatross and with an index in the top 5% of the breed.
Reserve male honours fell to Procters Farm with their ram lamb, PFD2205249. He was the winner of the texelplus ram lamb class and is by the world record breaking 350,000gns Sportsmans Double Diamond and out of a dam by the 100,000gns Sportsmans Batman.
Heading up the first class of the day, the aged rams was Claybury Dunkirk from Gordon Gray, with this 34,000gns purchase being by Strathbogie Cannonball and out of a dam by Scholars Yahoo.
In the open shearling ram class the winner was Ian Murray with Hexel Evolution, a Haymount Crackerjack son out of a dam by Plasucha All Star.
Then in the open ram lambs the top spot was claimed by David and Clare Gray with their New View Electrifying son, GCT2214534 from their Tima flock. He’s out of a dam by Clinterty Yuga Khan.
Topping the aged ewes was CKC1910995 from Keith, Alan and Roy Campbell’s Cowal flock. She’s a daughter of Auldhouseburn Boss and is another out of a dam by Yuga Khan.
Alan Clark was then back among the tickets, taking first place in the ewe lambs with CJN2208546. This one is similarly bred to the champion, being by Chumba Wumba and out of a Teiglum dam by Knock Bantastic.
Gordon Gray then took the red tickets in both the pairs and groups classes.
