Carsphairn’s annual Pastoral and Horticultural Society show is renowned for the quality of the Blackface sheep that are shown there annually and they came out top again on Saturday at the 130th event.
The field at the The Crofts, Carsphairn, was bathed in sunshine throughout the five hours of judging which saw a three-crop ewe from JW Kay from Gass Farm, Straiton, Ayrshire, win the interbreed championship.
Entries and attendance at the first of this year’s major agricultural shows in Dumfries and Galloway were on a similar scale to last year and officials were delighted with the quality of the entries and the warm sunshine which helped to bring out the crowds on the showfield and at the Lagwyne Hall for the industrial, flower and very strong baking classes.
