We also hosted our two  annual judging evenings, with the first being at the Laram Herd of St. Kew Barton by kind permission of the Mitchell Family. We would like to thank Harpers Feeds for sponsoring the evening, results were:

Both evenings could not have happened without our fantastic hosts, sponsors and our master judge Mr Mike Deakins. Thank you very much. 


The showing season has also been kick started by the Royal Cornwall Show. We congratulate all members who competed, with all Cornish exhibitors getting fantastic results. Special congratulations must go to the Glebewin herd, for getting Cornish champion with Glebewin MVP May 6. We’d also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Renfrees, of Hayvalley Holsteins for achieving Master Breeder status. 


The annual herd competition is also judged in June, with a welcome increase of entries this year we are delighted to have Andrew Dutton of the Royan herd and Matt Jenkin judging the entries. 

 

We have two herd visits planned over the Summer, with the first being a joint visit with the North Devon Holstein Club to Thoroughborough Holsteins by kind permission of the Ley Family. The second being to Hartom Holsteins by kind permission of the George Family. We look forward very much to these two visits.
