Welsh National Show – Pembrokeshire County 14th August to 16th August 2018 – Judge Mr C Martindale

by Nicky Moreton | Aug 12, 2018 | 2018 Welsh News, 2018 National Shows

Cwarre Idaho – Junior Male Champion, Male Champion, Overall Champion & Best Animal bred by Exhibitor

It was a great honour to be invited to judge the Welsh National Show in Pembrokeshire and I would like to thank the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society for giving me this opportunity. I would firstly like to thank all the exhibitors who had worked extremely hard to get their stock looking tremendous and presenting me with some difficult decisions to make. Everyone made me very welcome and the stewards helped to make the day run smoothly, a most enjoyable day.
My first class was the young April bulls and I was immediately impressed by my first placed bull Cwarre Idaho – a well
fleshed bull with lots of style. In second place was a bull with potential for the future, Crugmelyn Idwal. Third place was a strong bull Crugmelyn Ilky Bar Kid and fourth was a young bull, Cwarre Iowa, with exceptional length and one to watch for
the future.
The second class was young bull born after 1st September 2017 and although there was only one in the class, Gwili Idwal
was a sweet calf with a tremendous back end, full of muscle.
The senior cow class had only one entry, a 7 year-old cow, Cefngwlad Cleopatra, who was working hard and doing her calf well.
The junior heifer class was won by Cwarre Rosie’s Hyacinth, a well-balanced calf that walked well and just beaten into second place was Sterling Ellie’s Heidi, a tall calf in natural condition.
The January class was won by Deerhurst Impulse, a very correct heifer which exhibited great presence in the ring. She went on to be Junior & Female Champion. Second was Mainview Jezabel, a big strong heifer but just not as neat as the first. Third was Dyfed Foxy Lady 2nd who just lacked condition on the day.
The April class was won by Crugmelyn Icing Sugar, a super heifer with lots of potential, second from the same exhibitor
was Crugmelyn Icecream, a long heifer that did just not quite have the style of the winner. born on or after 01.09.17 at the Welsh National Show
The calf class was won by Cwarre Rosie’s Ilex, a very sweet young heifer who exhibited herself well on parade. Second
was a very young calf, Cefngwlad Jennie which just lacked the power of my winner.
My Champion was the very stylish bull Cwarre Idaho and my Reserve Champion was the sweet heifer Deerhurst Impulse.

Great Yorkshire – English National Show 10th July to 12th July 2018 – Judge, Mr M Barlow

by Nicky Moreton | Jul 12, 2018 | 2018 North East News, 2018 Great Yorkshire Shows

Sincere thanks to the Great Yorkshire show and the British Simmental Cattle Society for the invitation to judge the 2018 English National Show.
I would like to thank all the stockmen and stockwomen who put forward a tremendous show of Simmental cattle for me to judge.
The first junior heifer class was won by Chestermann Empire Stella, a very smart growthy heifer. Showing plenty of style, this is a difficult class to get a heifer ready for, very easy to overdo and basically almost killing them with kindness.
The second junior heifer class was won by Heathbrow Girlie’s Ivy, a very impressive heifer with plenty of ring presence, she moved well and was an easy winner.
My next class was won by a super heifer, I’m sure we will see a lot more of – Sterling Fcuk impuls, this heifer went on to be my Reserve Female Champion.
The next class was the Senior Heifer Class born April onwards. This was a difficult class to judge as it was just personal preference, as the top three heifers in this class was very different and could have been place differently with the judges. The class winner was Popes Princess Hettie, she had the most ring presence with a great body and natural width.
Next was a much improved class won by Popes Rhona who went on to be my Overall Champion, this was the strongest class of the day, the first place heifer was eye catching and stylish, I have to say she concerned me that she was over fat on her tail head, however after examining her I decided this felt more like she had banged herself. Because this was the strongest class, I need to mention the second-place heifer, this was Midhope Heavenly Light a big heifer, possibly the best bodied heifer, very good over her plates, however possibly due to an injury, her movement on the day was wrong which stopped her going any further.
This class led an easy winner, in Kennox Diva’s Gena, making a super job of her calf, this is what it’s all about. A very well made cow that just needed to be a bit bigger.
Her bull calf went on to win the best calf and I’m sure we will see him in the future.
Next class I couldn’t get wrong, was won by Woodhall Erica, a very correct cow, just lacked the style and presence to have pushed the champion aside.
Senior cow class was won by Sterling Petra’s Cairo, the biggest animal on parade, she was up there to win overall when standing, but with locomotion very important this was as far as she could go.
First of the bulls was won by Skerrington Iceman, he was an easy winner, very modern with natural width and a great top.
Next class was won by Williams I of the Tiger, a very stylish, clear bodied bull, lacked power to go further.
The intermediate bull class was won by Camus Harold
The senior bull class only had the one entry and was won by Curaheen Drifter, this bull carried his width all the way to his tail, he would later stand Reserve Breed Champion. I had seen the bull earlier in the year and actually thought he had improved as the show season had gone on.
Many thanks for affording me the honour of judging this show.
