Cumberland Show 2008

19th July 2008

BRITISH BLUE COW TAKES INTERBREED CHAMPIONSHIP

The British Blues had a very successful Cumberland Show, at Carlisle.

Broomfield Vivien

It was a particularly fulfilling day for Kevin Watret, who took the Champion British Blue, with his cow, Broomfield Vivien.

Vivien then went on to take the Beef Interbreed Championship.
