COMMERCIAL PRODUCERS SHOWING BIG INTEREST IN BRITISH SIMMENTAL AT NBA BEEF EXPO, DARLINGTON
Busy day at NBA Beef Expo at Darlington yesterday talking to commercial farmers enquiring about Simmental bulls and breeding females.
See the video here of BSCS Council member John Barlow talking to local commercial man Charles Parker about the breed and the Simmental cattle on the Society’s stand.
Rounding off a good day the Society’s promotional stand was awarded third place in the day’s trade stand competition.
Huge thanks to Richard Sanders of the Bavington herd, Clapheaton, Newcastle for supplying his bull Annick Laphroaig, bred by the late Lachlan Quarm. Also to Irving Pearson, Manor Farm, Penrith for providing an eleven year old Simmental cross cow with her tenth calf at foot, a heifer calf. Both pens were very typical examples of what the Simmental breed is all about and generated a lot of interest.
Thanks also to Katie Boyes and her team from the North East Simmental Club for providing some terrific hospitality for everyone on the Society stand.
