Textravaganza: Plans announced for national Texel sheep show
The show will take place on July 30.
Texel breeders from across the UK will gather in Carlisle in July for the breed’s first national show.
The British Texel Sheep Society has announced plans for its inaugural national show – the Textravaganza – at Harrison and Hetherington’s Borderway Mart in Carlisle on July 30.
Society chairman, Roy Campbell, said the show will offer breeders the chance to showcase the best Texels from across the UK and people will get the chance to buy new stock at a special sale of gimmers.
“With many shows cancelled again this year or operating in a very limited manner, the society is delighted to give members this opportunity to showcase their best animals ahead of the autumn sales season,” said Mr Campbell.
