FRONT ROYAL, Va. - Floridant -- Tracy Bloom, owner of Bellwether Farm in Upperville, Virginia and President of the American Kerry Hill Sheep Society (AKHSS), presented a newborn Kerry Hill lamb, named Upperville Charles in his honor, to His Majesty King Charles III during his historic state visit to Front Royal, Virginia. The presentation took place as part of a community celebration marking America's 250th anniversary, attended by King Charles and Queen Camilla alongside Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Front Royal Mayor Lori Athey Cockrell. The moment was captured by international press and featured in coverage by TIME, Good Morning America, and media outlets around the world.
The Kerry Hill is a breed with deep roots in Wales, making the presentation to the British monarch a moment of profound symbolic resonance. Bloom founded the AKHSS and has spent years establishing Kerry Hill genetics in America. "This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment," said Bloom. "Kerry Hills are a Welsh breed, and to bring them before His Majesty on American soil, animals born here from genetics we worked so hard to import from the UK, felt like everything we have been building toward coming full circle."
