Matthew Jones’s 23 months old heifer Graymar Electra, sired by Gitan Du P’Tit Mayeur out of Bringlee Beth, continued her winning ways in style taking the Breed Championships at The Great Yorkshire Show, The Royal Welsh Show, The Nantwich and South Cheshire Show, The Burwarton Show, and the Oswestry Show.

Adding to these her earlier success in the first half of the year at Shropshire, East of England and Cheshire County this totalled eight Breed Championships, five Interbreed Championships and two Reserve Interbreed Championships.
