Rain fails to dampen Teviothead show

The 64th Upper Teviotdale Society Show on Saturday once again attracted a very strong show of sheep which this year saw the females take top honours in all sections.

Overall champion was a Cheviot gimmer shown by David Goodfellow, Falnash Farm, Teviothead, Hawick who lifted the Wisp trophy.

A slightly damp morning didn’t deter a good turnout for the sheep judging while entertainment from the Hawick Scout Pipe Band, terrier racing, hound trail and dog show in the afternoon kept everyone amused.
