The East Midlands
Club have had a few busy and successful months over the summer.
The three stock
judging nights were well attended by members and non members of the Club. Thank
you to hosts James Knight and family, Walton Farms, Alan, Helen and Tom Smith,
Bumblebee Holsteins and Beck and Simon Kirk. Also a special thank you to Graham
Kirkby for being master judge.
Our HYB members
have been extremely busy with their hard work paying off at the National Stock
Judging Day at Aintree Holsteins. The Club are very proud of Evie Tomlinson for
coming third junior, Simon Kirk for second senior stock judging and Becky Kirk
for coming second in the senior linear assessment. Adding to their celebrations
Becky Kirk and Sally Robinson came first senior linear team and the icing on
the cake was the club coming first overall.
Thank you to herd’s
competition judge Iwan Morgan although the results are still top secret. Andrew
Birkle, Winchat, is the proud winner of the regional competition so fingers
crossed for him in the next round.
East Midlands Club
Members took champion and reserve at both Lincoln and Ashby Shows but the
biggest achievement has to be at the Livestock Event, NEC. Congratulations to
Nick and Louisa Sercombe with their Holstein champion and reserve interbreed
champion Neatishall Decker Rosina.
Looking back over
the last couple of months has shown some promising and exciting times for the
East Midlands Club – looking forward:
The Calf Show will
be held on the 7th September 2014 with David Jones, Wiltor kindly
judging. Our Annual Dinner will be held in October 2014 with the added event of
an Auction of Promises.
Congratulations to
Christian Sheppard and Becky Pacey on the newest member of the club – Edward
born on 17.05.14 and already attending his first shows although not quite ready
to help with clipping, washing and leading!
Finally we would
like to Becky Kirk who has taken on a role with Holstein UK and will no doubt
be seen by a lot of you at up and coming events around the country and beyond! Good
Luck Becky.
