Cornwall Club - February News
It’s been a busy few months for the club with the young members as always doing the whole membership proud by working hard and representing Cornwall in a positive light at the ABAB calf show. All calves exhibited were in the top 12, and for the first time since 2006 a whole team of handlers attended the National calf show.
Soon after, we were on to the On Farm Challenge with over 116 entries. A huge thank you to our judge Denis O’Neil for his time, as well as chief steward Lynden Bustard and Dawn Coryn for their organization – thank you must also go to all other members who helped with the event.
