North West Open Calf Show 2010
The North West Club held their annual open calf show at Chelford on
Saturday
4th September by kind permission of Frank Marshall & Co and generously
sponsored by Les Wilson Agricultural Services of Nottingham. Forty-nine
calves from sixteen individual herds were entered in the classes for
homebred calves 12 months of age and under. Les Wilson was unable to
attend and Steph Denny of Farmers Guardian stepped in at the last minute
to present the prizes on his behalf.
Show judge Linda Morgan, Powys commented
that every class was full of quality youngstock and awarded the Female
and Overall Championship to Tanat Ebony an 8 months old black and white
heifer by Bringlee Waldo out of Bringlee Welancee from new member Wyn
Jones of Llanrhaeadr Um, Nr Oswestry. This calf showed exceptional promise
for her age and should make a real name for herself on next season’s
show circuit.
