Strong bull and heifer calves found in South of England herd competition

Last week Ian and Madge Anderson spent four days travelling around the South East of England judging the Club’s herd competition.

The competition was divided into three classes with sixteen herds entered. Also there were prizes for the best bull and best heifer calf born in 2010 and for the best new entrant.

Ian said after the judging: “I was looking for uniformity in the herds, not necessarily size only and I felt all my first prize winners had these attributes. The best calf prizes were not easily judged, particularly the bull calf section. Here I saw some very good entries and I look forward to seeing how they perform in due course.

The heifer calves also took much consideration with some really excellent cow prospects amongst them.”
