Record entry for Black Beauty Bonanza
A record entry of 120 Aberdeen-Angus calves and yearlings has been received for the Black Beauty Bonanza show at Thainstone Centre, Inverurie, on Saturday (November 14).
“This is a tremendous entry from 29 herds from Shetland to Angus and includes 60 bull calves which will give commercial beef producers an ideal opportunity to view the latest Aberdeen-Angus genetics,” said Neil Wattie, Mains of Tonley, Alford, chairman of the North East Aberdeen-Angus Club.
Judging starts at 9.30am and this year’s judge is Doug Robertson, owner of the renowned Coldstream herd in Alberta, Canada.
The junior showmanship competition on Friday evening has attracted an entry of more than 20 youngsters although entries can be made on the night. Competitors should report to the club caravan at 6.00pm to be allocated calves for showing. Judging will commence at 6.30pm.
Main sponsor of the show is Sellars Agriculture of Oldmeldrum.
