Edition 3 - 2023 - Staffordshire

First event of the Summer was the Staffordshire County Show with Helen Herd as the Judge.

An outstanding turnout of 10 Exhibitors, which led to the first class of Junior Heifers, being split with 15 entries. Overall champion was the winner of the milking heifer class, owned by Mark Whitehurst with Folemill Fitz Dewdrop 4.

This year a separate Red & White Section was held with 4 Exhibitors.Champion was A & D MacKellar with Stowey Altitude Glamorous Red, having won the Milking Cow class.

Day 2 of the Show saw the Inter Breed being judged by Max Davies (Davlea).  The Interbreed champion heifer was owned by Mark Whitehurst with Folemill Fitz Dewdrop 4.

Interbreed Champion Cow was A & D MacKellar with Stowey Altitude Glamorous Red.

The HYB classes were judged by Tom Lomas and champion calf was DR & BA Cotton, Chasmar Rubels Ann 380 and reserve Blaize Tomlinson Drointon Showtime Mavis.

The handlers saw good entries in all age groups with Champion Handler awarded to Lizzie Bradley, Reserve Sophie Shaw and Honourable Mention Liam Poyser.

Swiftly after the County Show the Open Stock Judging was held at Mark Whitehurst’s which saw 3 Clubs, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Western having the honour to see an outstanding display of 18 cows during the evening, with Master Judge Hefyn Wilson. The HYB members are getting focused on selecting a team for The Field to Foto weekend, with another stock judging and Linear Practice arranged.

The final event of the summer was the Herds Competition and Max Davies (Davlea) the judge. 15 herds from all over the county with new entrants again this year, which is very encouraging. We are very grateful to the generous Sponsorship for this event from Glenthorne Vets.

Overall herd winner was A & D Mackellar (Drointon) and Reserve Champion Herd JE & EM Marshall (Overseal)
