GEMO Concours National 2012

This year the Ecomusée du Pays de Rennes will host the annual national competition. It will be on Sunday the 16th of September and will be incorporated as part of a presentation "La journée du patrimoine" a fitting place and event for the Mouton d'Ouessant. The Ecomusée has a wide range of exhibits to see in additon to the Ouessants and this year there will be an added event ' Une Foire aux Béliers" whilst this will be an opportunity for GEMO members to place some juvenile rams it should be quite a spectacle in itself. There will be the opportunity for breeders to obtain certificats of conformité as well, I am very much looking forward to the event.
Put the date in your diary now. 16.09.2012

Heritage Flock - L'Ecomusée du Pays de Rennes

Recently I had the opportunity to spend a little time at the Ecomusée at Rennes. I couldn't resist checking out the ouessants there.  The Ecomusée will be hosting this years national competition and at only an hours drive from home this is the closest the competiton has been in years. These rams are some tough competition!!. Breeding of that consistency across a range of rams is hard to find anywhere and an absolute credit to the Ecomusée.

But prize winning is no stranger to the Ecomusée

The ewes and their lambs make a pretty picture too. 

I didn't get a lot of time to look over the whole place but I couldn't resist stopping by at one of my favourites.
