IF Sunday lunch was a joint of prime lamb, then it's possible you could have been tucking into a British Vendeen bloodline.

Chairman of the British Vendeen Sheep Society is Mr Charles Vernon Miller, of Blackwell, near Shipston, who was among show prize-winners.

With the 10 sheep he showed he picked up a second in the ram lamb class and another second with a shearling ram, also named as reserve male champion.

Mr Anthony Spencer, of Lower Quinton, was also among the rosettes, but the breed champion came from Lampeter in mid-Wales.

Mr Vernon Miller has about 70 pedigree ewes and was pleased with his day. He said some of his best animals had been sold earlier in the season and he likened the 10 he brought to Moreton as a Second XI.
