SIMMENTALS TAKE TEAM OF FIVE INTERBREED RESERVE AT ROYAL CORNWALL!

by | Jun 11, 2022

A big well done to the Killiworgie, Sowenna, and Treverbyn Simmental herds who came together to take Overall Reserve in the Team of Five Beef Interbreed on the second day of the Royal Cornwall Show. A big mention in dispatches is due to Judy Borlase who stepped in to judge the Simmental section at short notice and who, as part of her duties, selected the Simmental Team of Five to represent the breed.


A busy couple of days had seen the Cornwall Simmental Club supply the delicious aged sirloin beef served up at the stockman’s supper on the previous evening. A big thank you is extended to Bowland Foods and the Popes herd for all of their help. Well done to all involved in highlighting the quality of both British Simmental cattle, and tasty Simmental beef!
