The Border British Blue Club staged their inaugural open calf show

Mart, Carlisle when nearly all of the 48 catalogued entries were forward
for judging. This was made up of 21 males and 27 females all UK born
pedigree registered calves born on or after 1st October 2007.
The club would like to thank the sponsors of this event, Norbreck Genetics
who supplied the prize money, British Blue Cattle Society for the rosettes
and championship sash, Harrison and Hetherington Ltd for the catalogue
and the premises.
Trophies - David Dickinson Memorial Trophy for the overall champion
calf; BK Ryder Memorial Trophy for the reserve overall champion calf;
Bellas Perpetual Trophy for the best animal opposite sex to the champion
and Norbreck Genetics Perpetual Trophy for the breeder with the most
points.
Chairman Steve Pattinson would like to thank all those who supplied
cattle for the British Blue stand at the Agri-Expo they certainly generated
a lot of interest and were a great spectacle for the breed. He would
also like to say a big thank you to all those who helped on the Blue
stand. It was very much appreciated.
The Judge Brian Wheatley, Home Farm, Penrith (President of the Border
British Blue Club) had the very difficult task of judging the calves.
He commented that he was greatly pleased with the quality of calves
presented to him and must congratulate all exhibitors for making such
an effort to attend this event.
