Pendle Herd casts a spell on the Borders Calf Show
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 20th 2008
The Pendle herd of Mark and Elaine Hartley along with Isabella and Thomas
was awarded many of the honours by judge Ernie Hemmings at the Border
Club’s calf show on the 20th February 2008.
With Mark leading him, 12 months old Pendle Catterpillar, by Serum D’Anloy
out of home bred Pendle Wave, won his class and then went on to become
Champion Male followed by the Overall Champion.

Thomas took charge of Pendle Churchill a 4 months old son of herd sire
Blue Stone Union Jack out of Pendle Trixy with Isabella acting as herdsman.
In a very strongly competitive class against many quality bull calves
led by much older handlers the trio stood a very creditable 4th.

Elaine’s charge for the day was Pendle Cauldron a ten months old
heifer by Blue Stone Union Jack out of Pendle Robinea and Isabella took
charge of 10 months old Pendle Cocopop also by Blue Stone Union Jack
but this time out of Bannister Tatum.
Competing in the same class Pendle
Cocopop was placed third and Pendle Cauldron fourth.

Following these successes Thomas and Isabella entered the young handler’s
class leading Pendle Churchill and Pendle Cocopop respectively. This
time Thomas came out on top being awarded the Champion Young Handlers
title. Isabella was placed a creditable fourth with her heifer taking
a little persuasion to take this class as seriously as the previous ones!

Not to be outdone Allan and Deirdre Wilkinson also had successes taking
first place in the younger heifer class with Springfield Carrera a 9
months old daughter of Felicien De Courriaulx out of Ovatie Van De Wolvendree.
In the progeny class they teamed Springfield Carrera with Solway View
Cinderella, out of Annanwater Vera, and these two Felicien De Courriaulx
daughters took third place.
