SUMMER HERD COMPETITION RESULTS 2022
The most anticipated competition of the year took place the week commencing 18th July 2022 to decide who would be the Border & Lakeland representative in the 2022 Premier Herd Competition. This year we welcomed Malcolm Dyson former Holstein UK Classifier, a well respected gentleman of superior knowledge. A fascinating three days were spent traveling around the members farms analysing top class cows and herds a spectacle for anyone to see. One of the main highlights for Malcolm was the senior Cow class miniscule points separated them all, a fantastic advertisement for the breed and a testament to the breeders, Lillyhall Bookem Margo was the overall winner of this class, well done Matthew and Ruth Harper.
A massive congratulations to the Stowbeck Herd for Len & Chris Wilson Skirwith Hall Farms Ltd this herd was our overall winner and will now go forward to represent the area in the Premier Herd Competition. A consistent herd with a very uniform type of cow.
