Show Points

In recognition of the work undertaken by its members throughout the year, the Shropshire Sheep Breeders’ Association have “SHOW POINTS TROPHIES” as a way to enable members to gain points at their six best shows.

The show points are awarded annually for points collected from 1st to 3rd Prizes along with winners of Interbreed, Reserve Interbreed, Breed and Reserve Breed Champions.
