We’re loving this week’s Simmental Virtual Show Class and with it having been the turn of the ‘big boys’ in Class Five – Senior bull born on or before 31/12/2023.
Twenty seven modern senior bulls displaying all the qualities of top Simmental sires in herds around the United Kingdom. Great to see, and thank you to everyone who supported the class.
And so to this week’s winner who is the 2022 born Vale Royal North Star from the Mixbury Hall herd of Mr VC Bailey, Mixbury Hall Farm, Brackley, Northants. Take a bow, and well done Vernon and Jon! Bred by James Arnold, Vale Royal North Star is an Auchorachan Hercules 16 (ET) EX 92 son out of Vale Royal Annie who herself was the Overall Supreme In the 2023 Virtual Show!
Another week, and it’s another fantastic judge’s video! See here Neil McGowan’s class comments as he stands amongst some terrifically quiet young Simmental bulls from within his Incheoch herd at Alyth, Blairgowrie. Thank you for judging Neil. The Class Five Results are as follows:
