John Coultrip to judge Royal Highland Show 2010

Faversham, Kent-based John Coultrip will be making the journey north in the summer to judge the Aberdeen-Angus classes at the prestigious Royal Highland Show. John, a past Society president, runs about 40 pedigree cows alongside a sheep and arable business at Wingfield Farm, Stalisfield.

Although not a show exhibitor himself, John is no stranger to the show circuit and has judged at many high profile events across the UK. He will no doubt be looking for clean, well grown and balanced cattle suitable of meeting the modern day market. Locomotion and style will also be of great importance to John and he will of course be looking for that all important breed character.

Judging the championships will be:

Beef Native Breeds Interbreed Team Muriel Johnstone, Crocketford

Beef Breeder and Junior Interbreed Stuart Wood, Orkney

Beef Interbreed Team and Overall Championship Billy Glazebrook, Strathaven

Beef Interbreed Pairs Robbie Minty, Aberdeenshire
