National All Breeds Show 2010 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The long established National Holstein show at Stoneleigh, for the first time included the other UK dairy breeds and was in my view a success as the other Coloured breeds embraced the opportunity and produced some very attractive competitive classes with cattle from all regions including Cornwall, Kent, Pembrokeshire and Fife with several herds in particular from Wales making a welcome reappearance after TB restrictions. There were 7 Guernseys forward from 4 exhibitors with President-Elect Elsie Fallows and her family producing the Junior Champion with Eavesford Onwards Molly, what a pleasure it is to have the enthusiasm of Elsie within our ranks and it is to hoped that 2011 will mark a turnaround in Guernsey fortunes.

I have been fortunate enough to spend the last two days on Guernsey Island in the company of two Guernsey enthusiasts who were making their first visit to the Island and also a "retired" breeder who still takes a great interest in the breed and who suggested the trip in search of Guernsey "treasure".

The ALL BREEDS-ALL BRITAIN Calf and Showmanship Show 2009 This event provides a fitting climax to the years endeavours by young people who are either just starting their careers in the Show ring or having reached the "grand old age" of 25 are ending their involvement with the various breed society "youth" organisations. The Holsteins were celebrating 25 years since the first calf show, whilst the other "coloured" breeds were first involved in 2001, whilst the Guernseys were first involved in 2006, having only started our FGB (Future Golden Breeders) in 2005.
