Summer Herd Competition Results

Border and Lakeland Holstein Club Annual Summer Herd Competition 2015

 

The current economic climate in the dairy industry could not dampen the enthusiasm of the members who entered this year’s Summer Herd Competition.

With 12 farms from all over the county entering, the judge Mr Richard Lucas from the “Meinspride” herd Blackburn, Lancashire, had 2 very full days judging an extremely high standard of cattle.

 A great presentation evening with a really positive atmosphere and a fantastic meal at the Roundthorn Country House, Penrith drew a close to the week’s event. Our sponsors for the competition were Barclay’s Bank and QLF and it was good to see 4 members of the team from   Barclay’s Bank present on the night. Long term sponsor Andrew Boskett from QLF had once again made the long journey from Shropshire to take part in the evening and both sponsors were thanked for their continued support by Chairman Neil Brough. Judge Richard Lucas gave comments on his findings from the two days and also entertained the guests with his sense of humour without giving away the all important results.

Club President Mr John Bushby then announced the all important results as follows: See attached list.
