It was a ‘Hope Show to remember for first time exhibitor, 16-year-old Murray Scott, whose Suffolk took the title of Champion of the Yard. Twenty-two years after his father, Michael, last exhibited animals at the show, Murray completed a clean sweep, winning every section he entered. The champion was a one-crop Suffolk, sired by Birness 007, from a home-bred ewe. Murray also took home the reserve title with a Suffolk gimmer, as well as the Young Handler Cup. Ashley Norquay triumphed in the poultry section once again, this year with a call drake, while Catherine Corse’s pygmy goat, Silky, won the goat section.
