HERD COMPETITION 2008
 Judge:- Mr I Anderson
16 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.
Below are Mr Anderson's comments on his judging task.
