The Society’s first outing at the Pembrokeshire County Show

The Society’s first outing at the Pembrokeshire County Show

22.08.2019

Last week we attended the Pembrokeshire County Show for the first time – a show that is becoming increasingly anticipated on the yearly calendar.

At the show, the Female and Breed Champion Aberdeen-Angus, and Female and Breed Champion Any Other Native was Melview Kokoa P158 (pictured above). Kokoa is a 3rd Calf 5 year old cow. She comes from the Tegnose K family bred by ex Society president Nigel Hammil. Tegnose Karman, one of the first UK Angus bulls to have huge amounts of semen exported (and a bull that really put UK genetics on the map) is from this cow family.

The Society had a stand for the first time there for the 3 days, which attracted a good amount of interest from new faces looking to make use of Aberdeen-Angus genetics. A big thank you to all involved in a super show.
