Royal Welsh Show I 24th – 27th July 2023
The first class of the day had a handy winner, an exceptional stylish roan calf, a calf I greatly
admired for her overall correctness throughout, she had a hard top line and dairy strength.
JUDGE: GWYNDAF JAMES
I gave this calf the advantage for
being far wider through the chest,
stronger and fuller through the crops
and chine than the clean dairy calf in
second.
Second over the third although a
younger calf than the third, she
had the distinct advantage over
the third calf in being far sharper
and cleaner through the neck, front
end and brisket, and sharper over
the shoulder. She also has far more
sweep and openness of rib and was
more level from hook to pin. Taking
nothing away from my third heifer
I had to admire her for her overall
width and power throughout.
One sole entry in the in calf heifer
class, the heifer forward was due to
calve in the autumn at two years old.
A worthy winner of this class, a heifer
I had to admire for her overall style,
dairyness and cleanliness over the
shoulder and hard top and length
of body. She also displayed a neat
udder development.
One entry in the heifer in milk class,
a very clean dairy heifer calved in
March at two years old, a heifer
I admired for her overall width
through the front end and power
throughout, she possessed a very
neat correct udder, being tight and
snug in her fore udder, and high and
wide in the rear udder with correctly
placed teats.
I gave the Junior Championship to
the in milk heifer winner Drisgol
Daphne 137 VG86, I gave her the
advantage over the heifer in calf from
Crugside in being more mature and
having calved and displaying a very
correct well attached udder being
full of milk. I am sure that my reserve
heifer will develop into a tremendous
heifer for the future once calved out.
Two entries in this class. I lead this
class with Drisgol Fleur 6th EX91
a third calved cow, which I greatly
admired, she had the advantage of
displaying far more style and ring
presence than the cow in second. I
gave her a distinct advantage over
my second in displaying far more
height through the front end and
showing far more sharpness and
style through the head neck and
shoulder, possessing a harder top
line and length throughout the body
and far more sweep and openness
of rib. On the day she had by far the
most superior udder in the class
displaying a far longer smoother fore
udder and far greater height and
width and bloom of rear udder that
my second cow. I have to admire
my second for her overall strength
through the chest and over all body
conformation.
Champion cow went to the
impressive winner of the Cow in milk
class Drisgol Fleur 6th by Churchroyd
Wildcard. Reserve went to the
second cow in milk winner Drisgol
Daisy191.
I awarded the Overall Breed
Championship to Drisgol Fleur 6th
EX91 a cow I greatly admired for her
overall style and dairyness, length
of body and sweep and openness
of rib and tremendous udder. I gave
her the advantage over the Reserve
Drisgol Daphne 137 in overall, length
style and power, and maturity of
body and tremendous udder quality
throughout. The reserve was the
Shorthorn
