All sheep at Sherborne were vaccinated with the Blue Tongue vaccine on 10th
May so will be free for movements in line with Defra guidelines. Having
been in the protection zone since March this means that we hope to make the
Welsh sale (29th June) our first outing. We would like to thank all fellow
breeders for their appreciated support and to those who have come to buy rams
privately from the farm
Worcester Show & Sale
Breed Champion at Worcs 08 was this shearling ewe 'Sherborne
Jazz'.
Melplash Show
Breed Champion at Melplash 08 was 'Sherborne
Katherine'. This ewe lamb is another

Welsh Sale 2008
Sherborne Kolo takes Male Championship
and Reserve Breed Championship at the Welsh sale on 28th June. This result
justified all the hassle and blood tests we had to go through to get to the sale
in order to fulfill Blue tongue rules and regulations. We would like to
thank all the breeders in Wales for the warm welcome and wish all purchasers the
very best luck with their new Sherborne sheep.
Show Ram for Sale
SOLD!
We are delighted to report that "Just
the Job" has been sold to Mr Huw Williams for his
Swyn-y-Coed flock.
He is by "Sherborne Ferrari"
and out of a "Darwin" sired ewe. His
grand dam is "Sherborne X45", a ewe still
going strong having had 12 lambs in 6 crops.
"Just the Job" was 1st in his class at Bath & West (June
2007), and went on to be reserve breed champion. He was described by Judge
Thomas Wright (Ballytaggart), to be one of the best ram lambs he had seen from
Sherborne.

Show & Sale Season
2007!
MAY FAIR 2007
Our pair of ram lambs continued from where we left off last year.
'Jewel in the Crown' and 'Jack in the Box' win their class with 'Jewel'
going on to smash our highest price, reaching 1150gns on sale day. This
'Highbury'
son is out of 'Sherborne C17', an outstanding breeding ewe by
'Sherborne Aztec'.
The other highlight of the sale was 'Sherborne H355' making 480gns to
Irish buyers. This 'Poorton Crossbow' daughter showed lots of promise as a
lamb but has certainly matured into a lovely shearling ewe.
BATH AND WEST 2007
Sherborne 'Just the Job' won the ram lamb class and went on to be
Reserve Breed Champion. The sire, 'Sherborne
Ferrari', is proving his worth
having bred 'Hotshot' last year.
WELSH CLUB SALE 2007
Another good day for the Flock with 'Hannah' winning her class and
going on to be Female Champion and Reserve Breed Champion. She is by
