JUDGE: KEVIN MOORSE
Western Counties Shorthorn Breeders’ Association – Calf Show 2023
On a beautiful August day, I had the privilege of judging the SWCSBA calf and young handler classes at the Okehampton Show.
The 6 month and under calf class was won by Hale Skybird exhibited by Fred Collins and family. Second was Hale Filkins 131 also by the Collins’ family and third was Brimclose Jewel 30 shown by Messrs D & S Slade.
Registered calf 6-12 month
on show day was won by Hale Rose 79th and second was Hale Emerald 14th, both shown by the Collins family from Honiton.
Next came the Young Handlers classes. First was the 11 years
and under class which was won by Miss Poppy Smith showing Brimclose Jewel 30th. Very closely followed by Miss Nancy Collins.
The 12-16 year old Young Handler class was won by Miss Issy Collins and second was Mr Thomas Slade.
The quality of the cattle was excellent and a big thank you should go to the Collins family (Hale herd) and the Slade family (Brimclose herd) for all their hard work beforehand preparing the cattle and on show day. It was nice to see two local families supporting the breed and the show.
