Following on from our success at the Great Yorkshire Show, the Interbreed Group of Three at the Black Isle Show was won by Mrs Brenda Scott’s Zwartbles group ahead of the Charollais group. This Charollais group consisted of the Champion ( a one crop ewe ),the Reserve Champion( a ram lamb) and a ewe lamb all from the well known Logie Durno flock.
Mrs Brenda Scott’s Group from the Speyside flock at Burnside, Marypark, Ballindalloch, Banffshire, comprised the Zwartbles Champion, a home bred gimmer by a Brace ram and out of a home bred ewe, her Male Champion, Cynefin Teifi and another home bred gimmer.
Reserve Champion on the day was M J Mair of the Hedgefield flock with a home bred two crop ewe by a Llepan sire out of a two crop ewe. The shearling ram, tup lamb and ewe lamb classes were all won by Greystone Zwartbles, all ably judged by Mr Andrew Baillie of the Broomfield flock .
In the Individual Interbreed a Cheviot was Champion with the Charollais Champion Reserve.
Congratulations to Brenda, Dennis, Alec and all other people concerned on bringing the Zwartbles Breed to the fore front.
