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.

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.
