Good results at Ellingham and ring wood show

We had a successful day today on a lovely sunny day at Ellingham

Angela took 3rd place in the heifer class beating simmental, red poll and british white with modern Angus 1st, Simmental 2nd.
 
Gracie took 2nd in the cow with calf at foot class, coming above an angus and british white with a nice Angus in 1st

 
Conker got 2nd in the bull class to a lovely young Simmental bull which went onto win the overall championship.

 
Conker &  Gracie won 1st place in the pairs class beating the simmentals, Aberdeen Angus and British white!
 

Logan then went onto win the under 13yrs young handlers class and then 3 rd in the overall young handlers 

It is so nice to see the lowlines judged on their own merit resulting in us being placed above much bigger animals. Some judges place in size order putting biggest first  - bigger isn't always better! In mixed breed class's you cannot compare like with like so each animal needs to be scored on its own merit and placed accordingly not compared - exactly how we were judged today - fairly! 


It was an early 530am start so ready for a large cup of tea and a sit down now! 

Gillingham show next on the 21st August.
