The Royal Lancashire Show, Salesbury Hall, Ribchester, provided
the stage for a quality line up of Simmentals at the breed’s 2022
English National Show, held on Saturday 23 rd July. In typically
damp Lancashire conditions, the April 2020 born in-calf heifer Popes
Princess Lumi from Messrs JH & VG Wood, Popes Farm, Dutton,
Preston, lit up the day in front of the healthy ringside crowd when
lifting the Supreme Overall Championship and Female Championship
titles before the judge Iain Green of the noted Corskie herd,
Fochabers, Moray. Adding to what was a terrific couple of days for
the Popes herd and the Simmental breed, Popes Princess Lumi went
on to win the show’s Supreme Overall Interbreed title the following
day and this time under the watchful eye of judge and well-known
Carlisle auctioneer, James Little. From the many sponsors involved,
the Overall Supreme Championship was sponsored by the Midlands
based Town & Country Meats.
Popes Princess Lumi’s further win at the Simmental English National
Show followed hard on the heels of the recent Great Yorkshire
Show, where this stylish heifer had also won the breed’s Overall and
Female Champion titles. With a pedigree packed full of top breeding
