It’s the second ‘big reveal’ of Simmental Super Sunday and the 2025 Simmental Virtual Show as we now turn to the ladies.
A mighty 288 super Simmental females were entered across three classes as this competition continues to go from strength to strength. Taking an incredible second Championship of this year’s competition is the Mixbury Hall herd of Vernon and Jon Bailey, Mixbury Hall Farm, Brackley, Northants with their 2020 born Mixbury Hall Lucinda VG 87. Lucinda, by the herd’s noted sire Tilbrook Frank, and out of Mixbury Hall Damelsa, was up against two heifers in the final in the shape of Corskie Pink, and Corskie Role Play both from WJ & J Green, Corskie, Garmouth, Fochabers.
Judging the Female Championships was Vikki Wood of the noted Lancashire based Popes herd, and please see here Vikki’s video with her comments on these terrific Simmental females.
What an incredible achievement by the Baileys to win both the Male and Female Championships and in the face of such tough competition! So we’re down to a straight shootout between Vale Royal North Star, and Mixbury Hall Lucinda to see who will be crowned as the 2025 Simmental Virtual Show Champion!
