Exhibitors from Grassmere, Byaduk, Britt Britt and Seymore have entered with up to 35 entries. Other short wool breeds will be Southdown and Poll Dorsets.

There will be a total of 10 breeds exhibited on the day, with the biggest increase in the long wool section. Regular breeds, including Romney, English Leicester and Cheviots, will this year be joined by Corriedales Lincolns and Border Leicesters after many years being absent.

Judges will include Marilyn Stevens (feature breed), Andy Beard (long wool) and David Jackson (short wool).

Chief sheep steward Peter McDonald said it was fantastic to have 100 entries received.

He said the highlight of the day would be the sashing of the Kevin Ludeman Memorial All Breeds "Sheep of the Show".

Judging of the South Suffolk feature breed starts at 9am and for other breeds at 9.30am.
