A passion for Suffolk sheep and the social enjoyment pedigree sheep breeding brings has paid off for mother and daughter Glynis and Jane Soulsby after their flock was judged the top in the whole of the north of England.
...
Jane, aged 24, has a passion for sheep which are involved in her work as a technical sales consultant specialising in animal breeding and genetics with national company Inovis based in Edinburgh.
And it was Jane, an honours graduate in animal science from Newcastle University, who persuaded her mum to re-start the flock the following year.
Now having it selected the top flock in the northern counties branch of the Suffolk Flock Book Society annual contest against opposition from as far afield as Lincolnshire and up to the Scottish Border is the icing on the cake for the pair.
Said Jane: "I gave mum an ultimatum , we have to get some more sheep or you have to find something else to do as she was getting boring!"
...
It was Jane who suggested they should enter the flock competition last year when they were chosen as reserve top flock and their tup Williamsgill Wkd was judged the best stock ram.He made the flock's top price to date of 1,000gns
...
"We knew our female gimmers were looking really well and through our breeding programme principally using AI we have bred a more uniform flock," said Jane.
