Rull Open Day.
More than 60 South West of England Club members and friends attended the very sociable Herd Walk at Ed & Claire Jones Rull Herd at Cullompton Devon last Sunday. The Jones’ have been very successful in the last few years and members were keen to find out the secrets behind their success!
Members arrived and were treated to a fully cooked Sunday lunch, with puddings that made your mouth water just looking at them! Claire and her daughters Annie, Becks and Katherine had worked really hard to feed us all and much to Claire’s surprise we all managed to fit into the house!
After lunch, we didn’t have time for a nap to sleep off our sumptuous lunch, we were straight on with viewing the Rull herd. As expected, Ed and his team had gone to tremendous efforts to show the cattle off to their full advantage. The yearling heifers and bulls had been tied up, clipped out and presented turned out for a show. All the cows had the same clipping treatment too. As the younger cattle were haltered it was an ideal opportunity to test the Members with a little stockjudging! The cattle were paraded and Colin Hutchings acted as master judge, everyone had a go including the youngest ones. Colin later went through the cattle to give his reasons which were incredibly interesting and very entertaining!! Trevor Dawe won the prize for judging heifers andNigel Bunkum for judging the bulls.
It was great to see members old and new attend the day and it was brilliant to have Mary Smallwood back with us after her illness. On to the next Club event now with a visit to UK Sires bull stud on the 13th April 2010.
