Black-and-white breeders secure a triple success
By Jessica Buss
A HAT-TRICK of successes in the dairy cattle ring at this years South of England Show was enjoyed by black-and-white breeders Mr and Mrs Warnock from Folkestone, Kent
The Warnocks secured the Holstein Friesian, British Holstein and Supreme Championships.
Their Interbreed Dairy Supreme winner was the Holstein Friesian Capelletime Tong Nerissa, while their Capeleferne Belt Daffie was British Holstein breed champion. Interbreed reserve was Mrs S Kemps Ayrshire Pylon Easled, bred by D and R Heasman of Uckfield, Sussex, which also won the title of Unigate Super Dairy Cow based on inspection and PIN value.
Beef Interbreed Supreme champion and reserve were both selected from the reserves in their own breed championships. The title went to the British Limousin bull Gotham Masterpiece owned by Mrs M E Davis and reserve was British Simmental bull Heathbrow Henry owned by D A Sapsed.
A special mention should go to the Beef Interbreed Group, won by a team of three Sussex Cattle. The show also hosted the Sussex Cattle Breeders World Congress attracting a strong turnout of local stock and international visitors.
In the sheep ring, a Southdown shearling ewe from Mrs S Colman took the championship ticket over a Charrollais ram from C J Butler.
