Autumn 2022 - South and Wiltshire

The South and Wiltshire Holstein Club has once again returned to a full calendar of events over the summer, we started with a herd visit to Hann Farming home to the Cedcott Herd to look at their new robot system.

This was followed by our annual club Stock Judging Competition kindly hosted by Club Chairman Nick Clarke at Westleaze Holsteins, Bushton. Master Judge was David Jones, a fantastic evening was had by all and the event was attended by over 50 members.

Then in July we held our annual Summer Herds Competition which was judged by Mr Phil Bird – Bartonwwod Holsteins, after two days of judging the results were announced at our presentation evening which was kindly hosted by Ms L Birkbeck at Rookhaye Estate, Salisbury home to Rookhaye Holsteins.
