Herd
Competition 2008
Judge:- Mr I Anderson, Dalcrest, 13 Penders Wynd
, Glaisnock
Road, Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland.
Herds stretching from
Penzance in Cornwall to Andover in Hampshire entered the 2008 Club Herd
Competition. This year we were honoured to have
Ian Anderson, a renowned Stockman now residing in Ayrshire, acting as
our judge. The herds were split into 3 sections, small, medium and
large, based on the number of cows calved in 2008. The judging took
place at the end of September and the results were announced at the
Club Lunch on 26th October.
