Virtual Show Results

At the end of the show season The Shorthorn Society holds a photographic competition. Not only does the stock have to be top class, but has to be photographed in such a way that there is no doubt of it's show winning qualities. We start each year with the best of intentions to take proper photos at shows (or even at home) - not just interesting snaps. But best intentions don't always come to fruition. Of course the entries can also be taken by professional photographers. So this year when James was at The Dairy Event he took advantage of the available photographer to get a decent photo of Athena 3rd - see the result on the post of 24th October. It was a good photo of a good heifer and the judges liked her - she was first in her class (heifer in milk to first calving) and Reserve Champion. The Champion was Marleycote Peggy 10th (a cow born in 2005 now in Mr & Mrs I L Harries' herd). We also entered some home made photos of Strickley Goldie 192nd (2nd in class) and Strickley Starlet 90th (3rd in class).
