396. Ashby — Gilbert Timms


As our own farm is flatter land I market my rams in conjunction with the Heights Sheep. I still run my stud on their hill property. As this limits my numbers I cull heavily and try and keep the standards high. I have worked with perendales for over 40 years and have taken an active part in shows, judging and have been on the Perendale Council for a number of years.
