The 2019 ewe futurity had three youth and a total of two junior ewes and three yearling ewes. The junior ewes will be eligible to be nominated for the 2020 Yearly Ewe Futurity.

This year’s futurity was a horse race to the end. It was the closes in points that we have ever had going down to the placings at NAILE breaking the ties. Congratulations to the breeders of these ewes on your breeding programs and thank you for supporting our Cotswold youth by providing great ewes for these youth. Congratulations also to these three youth for their care of these animals.
