Our HYB team did really well at the ABAB calf show. The handlers performed really well and the calves were placed with one getting in the top 10. It was however with the stand that the team really excelled, winning Overall Champion Tidy Lines and Overall Reserve Champion Best Stand.

This was a great team effort from such a small club as ours. A big thanks must also go to Cat Moody, Pete Prior and Jenny Partridge (HYB Co-Ordinator) for keeping the team well fed and giving them great encouragement.

On the international front, Holly Dyer was chosen for the Holstein UK team at European Young Breeders School and Georgina Moody was picked to go on the International Exchange to Australia in January.
