Many congratulations to Mrs Sophie Arlott from Lenton, Lincolnshire, whose Montecristo flock scooped the top award in this year's Flock Competition and is the new Champion Flock. Reserve was Amy Readhead-Higgins' Sutherland flock in Leiston, Suffolk. The winner of Class A (Flock of 40 ewes or more) is Goodwood Estate while first prize in the Novice Section goes to Max Welton. Judge Stephen Humphrey emphasized that the standard of sheep in the competition was very high, concluding that in every flock he spotted sheep that he would have liked to have had at home.
