Success all round for WBBBC club members at Carlisle

Wales and Borders members enjoyed a very successful weekend at Carlisle on 16th & 17th May 2008.

There was a clean sweep for club members in Class 5 with Graham Brindley’s Bringlee Bouncer taking first place, followed by Elfed & Sheena Thomas with Betws Byron and Wynne & Linda Morgan’s Ty Isaf Baroque. Graham’s success with his bull continued as he went on to make the Reserve Senior Male Champion. Not forgetting Graham’s other first prize winner Bringlee Cajoleur.

Rhys and Gill Bellis also had great success, with their heifers Betws Blanco and Betws Baba coming 1st and 2nd in their class. Betws Blanco then went on to become the show’s Overall Reserve Female Champion. Betws Byron was also bred by Rhys and Gill.

Congratulations to you all!

Wales & Borders British Blue Club Calf Show 2008

Arrangements have been made for this years calf show to be held at Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire on Saturday 11th October. There will be classes for both pedigree and crossbred calves covering ages up to 12 months.

Entry forms will be sent to members early in August, with the closing date for entries 11th September. We will also soon be posting more information on the website.

Newcastle Emlyn should have been the calf show venue in 2007 but unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we were unable to hold it. In future, it is intended to hold the show in a different region of Wales & the Borders each year. Lobby your local rep if you would like the show to be in your area.

Wales and Borders News

The next issue of the Wales and Borders News is being prepared and will hopefully include news of not only the larger shows but also the local ones which often get overlooked. A lot of people have shown an interest in hearing about how other members are getting on. We are having a show section in the newsletter, so please let us have dates of shows to be held in your area. We are also very keen to have pictures and results of shows, which we can include.

Do you have any stock to sell or are looking for stock? Let us know so we can also include this information.

If you have any other issues or stories which you would like mentioned in the newsletter please contact your local area rep, the secretary or email wbbbc@btconnect.com
