Troloss Farms was the host for our young members stock judging on Sunday 6th September, 2015, situated on the A702, Dalveen Pass, on the border of Dumfries and Galloway and Lanarkshire, the scenery and stock were stunning on this sunny, early autumn day. Farm Manager Joe Cockburn certainly put a lot of effort into turning out the Galloways and Blackface Sheep on show and it was a credit to him. The 40 odd people who attended had a great afternoon and enjoyed the best of stock with five classes of Galloways and three classes of Blackface sheep, which was very ably judged by Ann and John Finlay of Blackcraig, Corsock.
