Berrichon Du Cher Strathallan Flock

	During a recent trip to Paris, Robert visited the Paris Show, where he saw the Campion Berrichon Tup, Samson, he was so impressed with its size and scope he decided to buy him. He joins Grahams Strathallan Flock which was founded in 1983 and has had considerable show success including Royal Highland Show Champions in both 1994 and 1996. After several years of not showing Robert decided to enter a few sheep in the RHS 2003 where he won Reserve Junior Male and Reserve Junior Female. Our twenty females are going to be joined by five French gimmers, bought from Louis-Jean Laine, president of the French Berrichon Du Cher Society. In January 2003 Robert was voted president of the U.K. Berrichon Society. He says his mission is to promote the qualities of the breed particularly highlighting the top quality of their carcasses and high growth rate. Furthering the "Entante Coriale" Robert was asked to judge at the Paris Show. After the judging he was Royally entertained by the French Breeders, joining in their champagne lunch, but just to prove there is no such thing as a free lunch, he was then asked to give a speech outlining his reasons as to how he judged the classes.
