but Amber Favourite Clare 85th stood proud and an absolute powerhouse as she kept catching my eye. The young stock bull Amber Diamond
by Churchroyd Pure Class looked promising in the bull pen. The in calf heifers some by Pure Class and some by home bred bulls were well grown and springing nicely looking very correct underneath.
I have thoroughly enjoyed judging this competition, the range and
variation of the herds that I saw through the week made for a very challenging task, as I went from very traditional to very modern, but the standard of stock was second to none. My travels have let me see that the Dairy Shorthorn has a very promising future as there is something for everyone and every system. Great thanks
to the members of the North Midlands for asking me to take on
this monumental task, a big thank you to everyone who provided excellent hospitality and all being
so welcoming and friendly. I have certainly learned plenty from what I saw, as we would say back up here in Cumbria, “it was reet good craic” so thank you for the privilege.
