Breckney Dairy Shorthorns

Honourable Mention: Churchroyd Bronte Wildeyes 54 Interbreed Reserve Champion: Churchroyd Wildeyes 63

that gave my second placed cow the advantage over the cow in third. The senior cow class had two sixth calvers forward, both showing the longevity of the breed. I gave the first cow the advantage over my second for more bloom and more balance in the udder than the great front ended cow with excellent body capacity in second. The championship line up showed animals of the same cut, tall angular open framed excellent uddered cattle on great legs and feet. The championship went to the Junior cow Churchroyd Bronte Wildeyes 63, an awesome cow by the homebred bull Churchroyd Wild Card. The reserve championship went to the milk heifer Churchroyd Heather 123, again by Churchroyd Wild Card. Honourable mention was Churchroyd Bronte Wildeyes 54 by the Holstein bull Ladino Park Talent. Various reasons meant the number of cattle forward was low but what was lacking in quantity was more than made up for in quality with Churchroyd Heather 123 going onto be reserve Interbreed Heifer Champion and Churchroyd Bronte Wildeyes 63 reserve Interbreed cow behind the Jersey. I would like to thank the exhibitors and their teams for all their time and effort in bringing out tremendous examples of what the Dairy Shorthorn breed has to offer everyone, whatever their preference and system. Also, the Show society for inviting me to judge. After a great day spent doing what I really enjoy the prospect of a long drive home wasn’t what I needed but I managed to get back the same day, just!

What a Show! First class of the day had 3 beautiful, well grown March calves. Leading the class, I had Cotonhall Roulette Moonlight, a tremendous stylish calf as a long train, overall length of body gave her the advantage over the second place. Second class with ten entries, leading the class with Cotonhall Illuminate Duchess Ann, my Reserve Champion overall as well. This powerful deep bodied calf was an outstanding winner, she had so much style and length of body over my second place. Another beautiful balanced calf in second, had so much body and width in the rump over my third place. The calf in third had to be admired for her depth of body and spring of rib. The class 3, with seven entries. I led of this class with Churchroyd Strawberry 17. What a powerhouse, she was with so much strength and width through the rump and a great depth of body, overall power and balanced, had the advantage over my second choice. A calf with so much spring and depth of rib, that gave her the advantage over my third placing. Class four, the class of the day! The quality ran deep in this class, led with my overall champion, she was a great calf, so well balanced, well grown calf, tremendous style and ring presence with so much power and width throughout its body. I gave her the advantage over my second place, by having more width in the pins. My second place, what an eye-catching calf, with its marking, she had tremendous style and spring and depth of body. I gave her the advantage over a very close placing between second and third, by the way she handled her legs over another stylish dairy calf in third. And third over fourth for her overall dairyness over my fourth place. Class 5, I had three powerful square heifers. In this class I led with the most correct balanced heifer in the class, Churchroyd Nicola 33. A calf again processed tremendous power and width; I gave her the advantage over my second place by being more dairy through the front end than the big square heifer in second. And second over third, giving me more stature in the front end and length of body over my lovely dairy heifer in third. The Championship

What a great line up full of top quality, spoilt for choice, I had no hesitation on picking Mossrigg Barrington Iris 16 as my champion. A very complete calf, so balanced throughout with so much power and strength. I gave her the advantage over my reserve, Cotonhall Illuminate Duchess Ann for her maturity and depth of body. My reserve, a calf with a great future ahead of her, a powerhouse of a calf and Churchroyd Strawberry 17 fitted nicely into Hon Mention. Thank you, Dairy Shorthorn Cattle Society, for giving me the opportunity to judge, it was a great honour and privilege to judge an outstanding top-quality show. The future of the breed is in safe hands. Also, a big thank you to all the breeders and exhibitors for putting on a great show. Thanks. Mr Hefyn Wilson
