North West Club Calf Show 2012

Saturday 1st September 2012

The North West Club held their annual open calf show at Chelford on 1st September by kind permission of Frank Marshall & Co. and we were privileged to receive support from other generous sponsors, BBG-UK, Blue Merle, BOCM Pauls, Carrs Billington Agricultural, Celltech Embryo Transfer, Embryonics, IAE, Norbreck Genetics, T & A Trailers, Willows Veterinary Group and John Bowyer and Family.

Our original judge Jeff Dunn had to withdraw at the last minute and past club chairman Mark Hartley stepped in. Mark had the task of placing the exhibits in classes that were full of quality calves in very even age groups. He made his Female and Overall Champion New Close Hope an eight months old virtually all black heifer calf by Colos Van Daisel out of their home bred prolific cow New Close Cilla Blak led by Susie Wilson. New Close Hope will hopefully follow in the footsteps of her dam’s other show winning progeny, New Close Fizzy and Fantasia, if she continues on to next year’s show circuit. The calf was awarded the Champion’s Sash and Club’s Perpetual Calf Show Shield, sponsored by Norbreck Genetics.

The Overall Reserve and Male Championship was awarded to Wyn Jones’ Tanat Harvey an eight months old son of Adajio De Bray out of Ridge Dean Emily. The Reserve Male Championship went to Cromwell Gunner a ten months old son of Nether Hall Buster out of Boomer Witney from Adam Neachell.

We are very proud of our Junior Members and were pleased to see our young handlers forward in their class. Thomas Okell came out in front with Emily Wilson, Edward Okell and Molly Wilson not far behind. These young people are very keen and have improved beyond measure from last year’s successes.

Blue Merle donated 2 x 2.5litres of Liquid Multi Vitamin and it was decided that the names of all exhibitors with forward entries would be put into a ‘hat’ and the first two names pulled out would receive the prizes. Mark Hartley duly pulled out the names of Andrew Wilson and Adam Neachell.

John Okell (Chairman) thanked Mark Hartley stepping in to judge the show and presented him with a Border Fine Arts British Blue Bull figurine as a token of the Club’s thanks.
