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 previous article dealt with the herd competitions for production and Inspection, but in addition there are classes for youngstock, bull progeny, the best cow on inspection, the best cow on production, the best cow family and the most improved herd year on year. The SWGCBA Challenge Cup for Youngstock (23 entries) This was won for the first time by Olive Farm (Babcary) and there were over 70 heifers in the group, sired mainly by EGCS young bulls, with in-calf heifers of Chiller, Shaka, Landon Premium and Rob Roy catching the eye, whilst the calves are by Eros, Posh Paddy, Workman and Ellys Epic. The heifers are reared at grass from the first week of life and the yearlings are outwintered. The calves recieve whole milk twice a day for 8-10 weeks depending on the time of the year with calvingsd mainly between February and August. | Place | Owner | Herd | Score | | 1st | D&R Paull | Hurdlebrook | 98 | | 2nd | J Warren | Tredinney | 97 | | 3rd | M & R Dunn | Rosewood | 96 | | 4th | N Gosling | Artis | 94 | | 5th | J Yewdall | Webbery | 93 |

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.

EGCS President Chris Watson placed this comment in "another place" and has not surprizingly received any replies, with the FOB meeting tasking place next month on Guernsey Island it may be helpful if any one would like to comment. "Rob of cause you are right, but not everyone agrees that GMI is the major cause AND sights individual bulls that have let us down. They forget all the ones that they are thriving on.
