At the Shetland Sheep Society National Show and Sale 2009 at Melton Mowbray we entered five sheep in various classes. This is Cleulow Eliza who won the shield for Best Black Fleece and was also third placed ewe in a large class. The judge was from the Shetland Islands so the award was doubly noteworthy
At the same show and sale our moorit ram Cleulow Darcy won senior Wool on the Hoof and Reserve Wool Champion as well as Third placed ram. In total we were awarded two Firsts, a Second and three Third prizes. All five sheep sold well and found good new homes.
