Norfolk Club - February News

The Norfolk Holstein Club had a much reduced programme in 2021 but did hold two Qualifying Competitions for National Events. 

The Herd Competition was held in June and Andrew Stafford kindly acted as Judge. Seven Herds entered. 

The Airfield Herd was the Senior Herd Winner and the Mowles Herd, a first time entrant won the Junior Herd Competition. 

Star Cow was Airfield History Starlight while the  RML Cow winner was Easthaugh Roxy.  The home bred heifer prize was taken by Airfield Impression Exquisite, Airfield also won the female family competition with the Angie Family.  Progeny Group was won by K L Humphreys & Son and the Red and White Cow by W Cases, Binham Messiah Lily Red.      

The Norfolk All Breed Calf Show was held in October as part of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Associations Harfest Celebrations. This was the Qualifier for the East Anglian Team for the National. 17 Handlers and 35 calves took part. 

James Strachan, Rapid Bay, judged.  James had won the Handling trophy several times in the past and was pleased to see his name and also his sister Katherine’s on the trophy as past winners. His judging was much appreciated by everyone especially as he took time to speak to all the handlers and offer advice and encouragement.

The Junior Class had competitors aged 3 to 12 and was won by Arlo Atkins representing Wigboro Herd.  Intermidate Handler was Charlie Bolderston whilst Robyn Mood was senior handler and Claire Cletheroe took the mature Handler prize.   Champion Handler was Claire Cletheroe,  Reserve Georgina Moody with Honourable mention going to Robyn Moody. 

The Designer team took the Champion, reserve and hon mention calves with Designer Crushabull Adrienne, Panda Unique Cheerleader Red and Designer Unstoppabull Elegance.

Any other breed Champion Calf was a Jersey Kinder Engineer Gypsy and Reserve an Ayrshire Boldstar Napier Bean 2  

Many thanks to all those who have supported these events with sponsorship and help in any way 

We are hoping to have an expanded programme in 2022
