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!
