It’s that time of the week and the second “big reveal” of this year’s Simmental Virtual Show, with the results for Class Two – Heifer Calf born on or after 1st August 2023.
First of all can we extend a massive thank you to everyone who entered this class and which saw a mighty 113 Simmental heifers from all over the UK, with some ‘outstanding’ quality throughout. A great advertisement for the breed and highlighting the tremendous strength in depth in the national Simmental herd. Well done everybody!
NEWBIEMAINS PIPPA
To this week’s winner, and a huge congratulations is extended to Jim & Patricia Goldie, Newbie Mains Farm, Dumfriesshire who’ve taken top spot with their October 2023 born Newbiemains Pippa. This heifer is by the noted herd sire Auchorachan Hercules 16 EX92, and is out of the Skerrington Iceman 17 EX95 daughter Newbiemains Lexi. Way to go Team Goldie!

Again, a big thank you to everyone who has supported the Virtual Show classes to date. We hope and think the classes are just showing the quality within British Simmental to a UK and worldwide audience. We also hope that they’re encouraging other Simmental breeders to join in the fun and have a go in the remaining classes!
