Here we go again, it’s “big reveal” time as we announce the winners of this weeks’ Simmental Virtual Show with the results for Class Four – Female born on or between 1st January 2023 and 31st July 2024.
This was a top, top class, the largest this year to date, with a mighty 117 Simmental heifers entered. It’s a ‘big up’ once again to WJ & J Green, Corskie, Garmouth, Fochabers who have secured their second class win of the 2025 competition and this time with their April 2023 born heifer Corskie Pink (TF). This heifer is by Rathnashan Magnum, and is out of Corskie Helen EX 93 (EX2). Enjoying a strong competition so far, the Corskie entries took four positions in this week’s top ten and including another class one, two.
This week’s judge doing a top job was Hayley Clarke of the noted Williams herd, Model Farm, Norwich. In keeping with this years’ trend, please see another terrific video here where Hayley gives her thoughts on the class, and surrounded by quiet and super Simmentals from within the herd. We’re loving these judges videos!
The Class Four results are:
1st CORSKIE PINK
2nd CORSKIE PLUTO
3rd NEWBIEMAINS RITA ORA
4th CORSKIE PAST
5th NEWBIEMAINS PORT MAGEE
6th RENDHAM PAIGE (P)
7th CORSKIE REMEDY
8th MIXBURY HALL RIVER
9TH BREAGHEY VIDA-R545

Again, massive support for this class. Both the numbers and the quality seems to keep rising and what a promotion of the Simmental breed this years’ competition is. Well done to everyone who has exhibited so far, and with the classes just showing the all-round quality of this breed in both the bulls, and females classes.
