Boothdale Dairy Shorthorns

Many others in the herd were over their 6th lactation and looking like they will keep going forever - the Goldie family particularly were fantastic.

Our final stop was Christopher Ward in beautiful Lancashire with his Luneview herd. Feeling slightly tired and sad that our trip was ending, Christopher was the perfect tonic to perk us up! We thoroughly enjoyed chatting and laughing with such a positive, enthusiastic and joyful person with so much love for the shorthorn breed. We especially enjoyed being driven around in the quad bike trailer which provided us with many thrills and laughs! The standout cows for me were the progeny of Tregear Pansman 3rd. It was great for me to see that an Original Population Dairy Shorthorn sire was producing such uniform, milky, strong, correct animals that were youthful and were clearly going to last and last. And there ended our judging. Thank you so much to the North West region for having me to judge your herd competition; it was an honour to be chosen and I thoroughly enjoyed my week - you are a fab bunch! I feel very lucky to be part of the wonderful Shorthorn community. Florence Mannerings
