Isle of Man Calf Show results

The final class of the day was the championship. Alan selected his final line up and set them up on the diagonal across the ring  - a real vision for the the large amount of spectators around the ringside.
 
 
Alan gave a short commentary as to why he had selected these calves and then proceeded to tap out his champion Cairbre Floyd Crystal as he said is a super calf.
 
 
Reserve Champion was Sandash Nicolson Constance.
 
 
The A.J.Masson Trophy for the most points was won by Ashley & Sandra Kinvig.
 
 
The Tidy Lines Trophy was won by Shenvalley Holsteins.
 
 
A wonderful day many thanks to the six exhibitors without their support we would not be able to run this event, thanks also to Alan And Sue Timbrell for coming over to judge, Bernard and Marnie Liddle for coming and Lynette for her flying visit and judging the Tidy Lines with Marnie.
 
 
Thanks also to Helen Masson for the results and Trophy control, Ray Craine for his excellent commentary, Ann Skillen for being judges steward and Roy Kermeen for getting all the exhibits to the ring in time. A snippet of information Alan arrived with his waterproof leggings on , it was rather warm and we kept asking him if he wanted to take them off but he kept saying that it was keeping the rain away, sure enough it did  just as we finished the calf show the heavens opened.
 

The moral being if you want a dry show keep your waterproofs on!
