The fourth generation of the Grose family are getting compeitive, after JJ’s win at Stithians, I said it wouldn’t be long before cousin Chloe was to reverse the positions and it took less than a fortnight for her to win first prize in the Young Handlers at Camborne Show with younger brother James taking second place.
Meanwhile in the breed championship rings James and Shelley Warren had both Guernsey and Jersey Championships while the Grose’s won the Holstein Championship with their Red and White cow Toppenrose Vikki. She had been Supreme at Stithians but had to settle for Reserve Supreme here behind James’s Freeland Jersey cow.
At the opposite end of the country the Manford family of Cranbrook, Kent were competing with adult cattle for the first time and Hinxden Violet 3 was named Champion of the Any Other Dairy Breed section beating the Ayrshire in what has traditionally been a competitive show for that breed.
