The 2022 Simmental Virtual Show is again proving to have a huge following and we are now delighted to announce the results for class four – Female, born on between 01/01/2020 – 31/07/2021.
A big congratulations is due to Mr SA Gummow, Newquay, Cornwall, whose heifer calf Killiworgie Mirandas Lotti has been awarded the red rosette. Sired by the 2017 English National Show Reserve Champion Lynfield Hamish 16, this January-2022 born heifer is out of the Sussex-bred Boars Head Miranda, who goes back to the Irish-bred AI bull Seaview Prince Charming.
We had another fantastic entry of 71 heifers and the top five places have been awarded by the Judge, Frank Kelly of Ashland Simmentals, Co Fermanagh, as follows:
1st – Killiworgie Mirandas Lotti
2nd – Thorncliff Moya
3rd – Auchorachan Liqueur Madie
4th – Corskie Le-enna
5th – Kilbride Farm Eunice 327M
