It is withe great sadness that I report a death in the farm’s family yesterday. Those of you who have had a calendar off us this year will have seen Janet our top ewe on several of the pictures, including the photoshoped front cover with David in India. She died yesterday and we are all very sad.
Bramain Janet was born on 24th. October 2006. She was Reserve Champion of the Staffordshire show in May 2009, Champion of any other breed at the Lincolnshire Show in June 2009, Female Champion of the Kenilworth show in 2009 and Reserve Female Champion at the Great Yorkshire Show in July 2010 as seen on the calendar. She was developing a new career in public appearances, publicising the woolen coffins being manufactured by Hainsworth having featured in newspapers, magazines and on television from 2009 to 2011. Many dates were already arranged for 2012.
She has been buried alongside the smaller reservoir on the farm and will be badly missed.
