September saw the North Eastern Holstein Club’s annual calf show in conjunction with the Yorkshire Holstein club and North East’s Ayrshire, Jersey, Guernsey and Shorthorn clubs . The event, held at the York Auction centre, was very well attended, the Judges did a fantastic job and credit should go to everyone for turning their calves out to such a high standard.  Thanks to the judges, Duncan Hunter, for judging the handling classes, Micheal Lawrence, for judging the Holstein classes and Tom Saxby, who judged the coloured breeds classes. Thanks also to Bernard Liddle for stewarding all day, and  Val Brown and Sue Scriven for organising the show.
