The Norfolk Club have held two successful stock judging evenings. The first was held at held at Easton and Otley College’s Marlingford Herd and included the HYB Linear and Stock Judging competitions. Liam Banns won the linear competition and Laura Rout won the stock judging.
The second evening saw more than 40 participants judge tough classes at Robert Paterson’s Airfield Herd. Winning the senior section was David Britton with Andrea Vale and Brian Macpherson winning the juniors. The Bures Herd hosted a farm walk at one of the larger herds in Norfolk, Billockby Farms, which is one of only two remaining herds in the county owned by the Alston family.
At The Royal Norfolk Show the Cawston family continued their winning ways and took the Holstein and interbreed championships with their Poringland Ruby 7. This cow had already been champion at Newark and Suffolk Shows. The HYB champion handler at the show was Charlotte Moody with her sister Georgina taking reserve. Designer Holsteins took champion and reserve in the calf classes with the champion Glasson Meridian Blaise A and reserve Designer Alexander Sharon.

SHROPSHIRE
Since the last report the Shropshire Club have held two well attendend stock judging evenings at Woodmarsh and Styche Holsteins, with gracious hosts the Gould family and the Seatons to whom we are all greatly endebted. The standard of cows in all classes was high and tested everyone’s judging skills including our master judges Trevor Stapleton
at Woodmarsh and Kevin Naughton at Styche. The end of May saw a large turnout at the Higgins family’s RABDF Gold Cup open day. This herd is performing at the highest standard with ease and run by enthusiastic and skillful family members and staff. Our herds competition was judged this year by Hefin Wilson, Tregibby, with David and Pam Hiles providing hospitality as well as transporting him round the 15 herds entered, congratulations to Rob Clare for winning champion herd with his Hawksmoor herd. Jonathan Wilkinson and family hosted a visit from 60 members at their Penddyffryn herd at the end of June. This award winning 400-cow herd averages 9500 litres while maintaining high health status. The new unit with rotary parlour and fantastic handling facilities is a must see. The club then visited Richard and Ruth Pilkington’s Aintree herd where Jane Arrell now assists as herd manager. This proved interesting with an emphasis on cow comfort, looking at beds and ventilation. The cows are not the only venture here; as well as a nucleus British Friesian herd they run a 600 ewe flock including Bleu Du Maine and Beltex sheep plus a small herd of South Devons, as well as running a horse livery to fill any spare moments. We have had some fun providing refreshments for members and friends at both Shropshire and Newport Shows. The Club is proud of our HYB members and their success and is grateful of the support from Charlotte Cope and her team at various events.
