October 2016 • Country Life in BC FV Hereford MOE show growing in popularity by DAVID SCHMIDT


ALDERGROVE – A different day. A different judge. A different result.


A week after being named the supreme champion female at the Interior Provincial Exhibition beef show, GH Uptown Destiny did not even make it into the championship round at the West Coast Hereford Club Mark of Excellence Show at North Bluff Farms in Aldergrove, September 10.


This was West Coast’s fourth-annual MOE show and it is catching on with exhibitors, who brought 31 entries into the ring compared to only 20 in the Hereford classes at the IPE. This does not diminish Destiny’s IPE placing. To earn the supreme championship, she not only had to win the Hereford championship but become the consensus favourite among the three judges comparing the champions of all the beef breeds at the IPE.


Grand champ Sharden Yolinda 1Y


At Aldergrove, judge Blaine Brost of Alberta awarded the female senior and grand championships to Sharden Yolinda 1Y, a five-year- old cow shown by Ed Conroy and Murray Gore of Kootenay Polled Herefords. In earning the awards, Yolinda was undoubtedly helped by her 2016 bull calf, Kootenay 001A Anodyne 10D. The strapping young bull was an easy victor in the bull calf class and named the reserve grand champion bull. The only bull to beat him was CCR 950 Barcode 38B, a two-year-old shown by Copper Creek Ranch of Princeton. In this case, the pair duplicated their positions at the IPE Hereford show with Barcode the grand champion and Anodyne in reserve.


Going out on top! Health issues are forcing Ed Conroy (behind the cow) of Kootenay Polled Herefords in Castlegar to retire but he is going out on top. Judge Blaine Brost of Alberta selected KPH’s five-year-old cow, Sharden Yolinda 1Y, as the grand champion female at the West Coast Hereford Club MOE show in Aldergrove, September 10. Leading the cow is co-owner Murray Gore while Mitchell Krause is leading her bull calf, Kootenay 001A Anodyne 10D, separately named the show’s reserve champion bull. (David Schmidt photo)


The championships were a fitting sendoff for Conroy, as the well-loved and well-respected Hereford breeder (and former agriculture minister) is being forced to retire due to health issues.


For his reserve champion female, Brost chose the first-place yearling heifer, SF 7X Constance 1C, shown by Smith Farms of Abbotsford.


Blue Means Freedom


Named the reserve senior champion female was McLennan Creek 66X Nadine 12A, shown by McLennan Creek Herefords of Abbotsford. Although North Bluff didn’t earn any championship banners, the farm was named the show’s premier breeder and exhibitor. “I guess it helps to show a lot of cattle,” owner Vic Redekop quipped.
