A Grand Day Out

Henry, James and Robert are back from the show (Westmorland County Show) laden down with cups and rosettes. Briefly Strickley Shorthorns (all 3 for them, it was a quiet year for us), won all the classes they were in -

     Heifer in Milk (having calved under 3 years) - Strickley Dairymaid 5th
     Cow in Milk (having calved twice) - Strickley Lily 13th
     Cow in Milk (having calved 3 times or more) - Strickley Starbud 35th

We also won -

     Champion Shorthorn - Strickley Dairymaid 5th
     Reserve Champion Shorthorn - Strickley Starbud 35th
     Junior Shorthorn Champion - Strickley Dairymaid 5th
     Group of Three Shorthorns
     Best Udder - Strickley Starbud 35th

and, in the interbreed -

     Reserve Junior Champion - Strickley Dairymaid 5th
     Reserve Exhibitor Bred - Strickley Dairymaid 5th

 I hope to get copies of some "professional" photos, that show off the cows.

It was the first time since Henry's father was alive that we've had three generations showing. Robert did brilliantly and here's a couple of photos to show him in complete control.
