Six exhibitors with 15 Cows and Heifers as well as 12 calves made a high quality turnout for the Cornwall show and Philip Cox to sort out. Class 1 7 calves saw a first win for a young man Ian Rowe, who has been buying a Guernsey calf to show for each of the last 6 years and has finally produced a home bred heifer calf Rowan Chandelier by Hercules that traces via Trengwainton to the Design family at White Ladies. In second place was a Yogibear from Tredinney but my eye was caught by a pair of Amir calves from Trewarnevas.

There was a better turnout than expected as one of the main supporters the Bickfield herd is under TB restriction, but one of their cows was awarded the Championship in new ownership. 30 cows and heifers from 10 exhibitors were forward with 7 calves forward for the handling classes (53 exhibitors were showing beef and dairy calves, a welcome development if cattle are to remain part of the summer show season)

John Berry has genourously purchased a yearling heifer which he has donated to the ARC-Addington Trust who will show her at the forthcoming shows in their name to raise awareness of the vital work done by ARC-Addington to help farmers and their families who may have fallen on hard times. Dancer will be auctioned at some time inm the future and the proceeds will go to ARC-Addington.

David Christophers has had his prize winning Tredinney Buzzards Bracken 4 professioinally photographed by Lucinda Morgan. Bracken calved in February and has peaked at 32 kilos with over 5% fat. David selected her as a calf at Tredinney and she was Junior Champion at Stithians in 2008 and Guernsey Champion at the 2008 All Breeds All Britain show ( postponed to Feb 09 because of Blue Tongue). I look forward to seeing her in the showring in 2010.

The 2010 show season started on Monday 3rd May 2010 with the North Somerset Show at Wraxall near Bristol, with Elizabeth Grose as Judge. Unfortunately the Bickfield team were forced absentees as a result of TB problems and the Hurdlebrook and Wiltown teams were late withdrawals as a result of Sally Adam's hospitalisation. Fortunately Caroline Greenslade and Jon White did travel up from Devon and the Parfitt family were there in force and they were joined by one cow from Dorset who was flying the flag for Bickfield.
