South Midlands - Steve Hookway<br />
I am writing this report in mid August on a roasting hot day.<br />
I have just been looking back through some photos from the<br />
spring to include in the newsletter. I had forgotten what the<br />
cattle looked like on a green field!. Hopefully by the time you<br />
read this things will have improved and the green stuff will<br />
return.<br />
THE SALE OF ROGER AND RITA BAYLISS CAELEY HERD<br />
Having made the decision to retire from farming Roger and<br />
Rita Bayliss dispersed their Caeley Herd of Charolais cattle at<br />
Hereford Market on June 7. Roger registered his first Charolais<br />
cattle with the society in the year 2000, he regularly purchased<br />
his stock bulls from the Welshpool sales.<br />
The herd was made up from genetics from the<br />
Bampton,Montgomery ,Denaud and also Molfre herds. Roger<br />
enjoyed a very good local trade and sold the vast majority of<br />
his bulls from home where his cattle gained a good reputation<br />
with many repeat buyers.<br />
Roger has been very actively involved with the south Midlands<br />
Charolais club where he has held the Chairman’s position<br />
on several occasions. A well respected member of the club.<br />
On behalf of the club member’s I would like to Wish Roger and<br />
Rita a very long and happy retirement.<br />
THREE COUNTIES<br />
SHOW<br />
The Three Counties<br />
show returned to<br />
Malvern after missing<br />
the last couple of years<br />
due to the pandemic.<br />
Some very good<br />
cattle were forward<br />
to be judged by David<br />
Thornley of the Dooley<br />
herd who we thank for<br />
a job well done.<br />
The South Midlands<br />
Region provided the<br />
Breed stand to promote<br />
the breed and cater<br />
for the exhibitors and<br />
friends.<br />
A special thank you to<br />
Paul Burgess and Nicky<br />
Roberts for organising<br />
the food and giving<br />
their time to man the<br />
stand. Also to Ricky and<br />
Christine Butler for the<br />
use of their fridge to<br />
keep the beers cold on<br />
a very hot day.<br />
