Pedigree Calf Fair Results – Balmoral, Judge Mr Iain Green (Corskie)

Scottish breeder Iain Green who runs the 180-cow Corskie Herd, alongside 480 commercial suckler cows, praised the quality of Simmentals at the Pedigree Calf Fair, held at Balmoral.

“It has been a pleasure to judge this impressive show.”

Catching Iain Green’s eye to take the senior championship plaudits was the thirteen-month-old Scribby Farms George, an Omorga Volvo son, bred by Keith and Andrea Nelson from Rosslea.

“This is a very correct bull with super locomotion. He has length, width, and great depth of thigh.”
