STARS OF THE FUTURE
INAUGURAL SCOTTISH PEDIGREE CALF SHOW

5th November 2010

FORFAR MARKET

The inaugural pedigree calf show, STARS OF THE FUTURE, was held at the Forfar market NE Scotland on Friday 5th November with 250 calves entered consisting of the 5 main breeds; Charolais, Limousin, Simmental, Aberdeen Angus and finally British Blues.

The judge for the Blues was our very own Ted Haste who had the challenging task of selecting the winners for each class. In the end it was a very tough decision for Ted and in the end he opted for the two bull calves to become Overall Junior Champion and Overall Senior Champion.

This was the second time Judge Ted Haste had been judging this week and he said that he thoroughly enjoyed himself, it was very hard picking the Champions but in the end the Champions went to two fantastic bulls; however all of the stock shown showed huge potential in the future and all look tremendous on show day.

The show has been such a great success that a date for next year has already been arranged – 19th November 2011 with the hopes that more cattle will turn up and plans to expand the breeds shown to include all of the cattle breeds including dairy. This is a show date that all farmers should be putting into their diary, as next year’s show promises to be bigger and better than ever.
