Wright, and his fiancée, Sarah Harryman. This 101kg pair were
bred by Ben Cowton and are sired by Gyffin Dexter.
Standing Reserve in the untrimmed section was the winning
pair from the 90kg to 100kg class from C Timm.
David Wadland made it a hat-trick in the carcase section when
he secured his third Championship on the bounce, this year
with a E3L pure entry. It weighed 50kg live and 28.4kg hung
up, and was full of home breeding.
The judge commented: “Lovely shape through the leg and
well-fleshed eye muscle. Also a nice fat covering.”
Reserve was a Lambington Gandalf-sired E3L entry from
Robert West. This one was 43kg live and 24.5kg on the hook.
The Halls also won the 80kg-90kg and over 100kg classes
while April won the Young Farmers class. Other Beltex
highlights included Robert West leading the live/dead trio
while Paul and Lin Calcraft won the pair of wether lambs and
Archie Hill won both the pair of ewe lambs and single lamb
classes. Rebecca Armstrong headed up the under 70kg class
with Jack Robb winning the novice class and Messrs Madders
and Johnson topping the RABI single class. Libby Garth fended
off some fierce competition in the Young Handlers
competition to secure the Championship.
In the carcase hall, Robert West also won the hook part of the
live/dead while David Wadland won the lightweight class.
