seeing her with a calf at foot, and this is why I also later chose her as
my Overall Supreme Champion.
“In the next class, Heifer born in 2020, my first heifer Ant Hart’s
Treverbyn Lily, with a nine-month advantage, just had the maturity
and stature to pip Steve and Gill Gummow’s Killiworgie Elderflowers
Lily. They were followed by the Hawkey family’s Sowenna Lauren a
very nice heifer but a slightly different type to my first two. Next up I
had a class of three heifers born between 1 st January and 31 st March
2021. Ant Hart’s Treverbyn Milly and Treverbyn Molly followed by the
Grose family’s Trewarnevas Megan Jolene. My first two heifers were
very closely matched, but on the day, Milly just edged Molly. In the
final class of heifers born on or after 1 st April 2021, I found my Junior
Female Champion in Ant Hart’s, July born Treverbyn Morwenna.
From the moment she entered the ring she had that ‘wow factor’ and
‘look at me’ presence. She did not disappoint when I handled her and
is definitely one to watch in the future. She was followed by stable
companions Treverbyn Maddie and Treverbyn Myra, and Maddie
was my pick for the Reserve Female Junior Champion”. Thursday
night also saw the club provide aged Simmental sirloin joints for
the herdsmen’s supper kindly provided by Bowlands Foods and the
excellent beef was the talk of the cattle and sheep sheds the next day.
Friday brought sunshine to the show and the interbreed competitions.
The Simmental Team of Five selected by Judy Borlase went on to be
crowned as Overall Reserve Interbreed Champions. Capping a fine
show, the final day saw four young handlers paired up with Simmental
entries. Big congratulations to Charlie Carey for taking Reserve young
handler and well done to all exhibitors and prize-winners.
