F

irstly, I would like to say what a great honour it is to be

President of a breed I love so much, and a formidable

task to follow such a prestigious list of previous

Presidents. My special thanks go to our retiring President,

Robin Boyd, for the support he has shown to the Society

and its members during his two years at the helm.

My thanks and congratulations to all breeders who

continue to take cattle to Stirling Sales on a regular basis;

the bar seems to be raised higher sale on sale. In October

2018, 69 bulls averaged at £6187, up by £467, achieving

79% clearance. Well done - this is great for the breed. We

continue to produce bulls more suitable to the needs of our

customers, whilst still retaining the maternal traits no other

breed can offer.

I have always tried to attend all sales up and down

the country, and the Worcester Sale continues to grow in

strength. A big thank you to all the breeders who support it

year on year. However, Carlisle still remains a challenge. For

2019, Carlisle will hold two spring sales, but no leading ladies

sale. A huge thank you must also go to all the breeders who

continue to support summer shows and events up and down

the country.

As we are all aware, post-Brexit is on the horizon, and

it’s important to keep improving our market share and

clearance rates. If we as breeders continue to improve the

quality of our stock by relentlessly culling inferior animals,

and breeding only from animals that carry superior breed

characteristics, the breed will continue to move in the right

direction.

Next year is the 50th anniversary of the British Simmental

Cattle Society, and your Chief Executive and his organising

committee already have plans well in hand to celebrate

this prestigious milestone. The venue at Carlisle market has

been chosen, and we will hold a show and sale and a dinner,

as well as farm open days. In 2020, all efforts will focus on

the anniversary event, and there will be no national shows.

I would like to ask all members to take part, and to put on

a show of cattle which will be the envy of all other breeds.

There is no need for me to remind members how very

important quality of stock is for this event.

Another major milestone to happen in 2019 is the

relocation 9of the Society office. Sounds easy as we are only

President

moving next door, but this involves moving fifty years worth

of documentation, and will cause a Neil and the ladies in the

office a great deal of extra work and stress. I would like to

ask all the members to be as supportive as they can during

this time. Sue Walley has recently left, and I would like to

thank her for her commitment to the Society, and wish her

all the best for the future.

Our young members stock judging finals last year

were held in Northern Ireland. A huge thank you must

go to the Robson family at Kilbride Farm for inviting us to

see such an outstanding herd, and Richard Rodgers and

family at Hiltonstown for hosting the stock judging finals

and displaying another wonderful herd of cattle. Our

appreciation goes to the office staff and Emma McInnes

for arranging this event. I have hosted one of these

events, and know just how much work goes in to making

them successful. Young members find these events very

interesting, and they are a great chance to meet breeders

of their own age. The Council continues to look at young

members and how to develop their skills within the Society.

Recently, three young members attended a Future Leaders

Course which they thoroughly enjoyed, and which led to

them taking part in their own British beef promotion video.

This was released before Christmas onto social media and

the Society website. It was very well received and clocked up

many thousands of views.

May I conclude by giving my sincere thanks to all Council

members, Neil and the office staff for their hard work

and support. I would like to end this message by saying

how fortunate we are to have such an enthusiastic Chief

Executive, who looks after the Society’s interests as if they

were his own.

BREED PROMOTION

n order to remain at the leading edge of breed and sale

promotion, we have started using video to promote the

Ibreed and individual sales. Using a powerful brand, we

can deliver a clear and bespoke message to commercial

customers near and far. These video productions are

timeless, and non-critical of other breeds and processes,

the most recent production being a big push on the

benefits of eating British red meat. We saw this as a means

of giving our commercial customers a boost by promoting

their produce. With regard to cost, these videos produce

a much better return in terms of pence per view. We shall

continue to advertise in the mainstream agricultural press,

but adverts will be less in number, smaller in size and more

targeted. This week’s press adverts are next week’s chip

papers.

These videos have predominantly been released on

social media – both Facebook and Twitter - and have been

linked to the Society website and Youtube channel (Simm

TV). Our target market of young commercial farmers are

increasingly using social media and the internet to learn

and source information about the industry. The social

media platform is free to view for anyone with internet

access, and a phone that doesn’t go clunk. Adverts in the

mainstream agricultural press tend to require dipping into

one’s pocket.

A special mention to both Catherines at MacGregor

photography for their ground breaking work in producing

and launching the videos three months ahead of the

original schedule. We are delighted to be industry leaders

in the use of this type of advertising, and whilst we are sure

other breeds will follow suit, everyone will remember who

was first.

to TB

Main Electric Fence

The TBAS identifies four main sources of infection;

1. Brought-in cattle. This can be cattle which have

been purchased at a market or privately, your own

cattle which have left the holding for a show or

those which return unsold from the market.

2. Neighbouring cattle. However biosecure and

health conscious you are, if your cattle have noseto-nose

contact with other cattle, there’s a risk.

3. Latent infection. The TB skin test does not have

absolutely 100% detection rate, and animals can

retain infection without reacting to a skin test.

4. Wildlife. Be it from badgers, deer, alpacas, or other

sources, there is no doubt that wildlife is a threat.

The TBAS spent some time looking round the farm,

Chairman’s Report by Mark Sallis

O

ur annual AGM and quiz night was once again held

at Stratford cattle market albeit a little later in the

year than usual due to the weather in February,

prompting a postponement until March. This delay did

reduce the numbers slightly as many were now calving

and/or lambing, however an enjoyable night was had by all

that attended.

The AGM saw the following appointments for 2018

Chairman – Mark Sallis

Vice-Chairman – David Savins

Treasurer – John Fellows

Secretary – Amy Cox

It was very pleasing to see club members taking three

of the top four prices at the Worcester sale in May.

Congratulations to C.H Evans & Son on selling Wroxall

Happy Chappy, for the day’s top price of 5000 guineas, to

fellow club members C.M Mercer, for use in the Bowley

herd. Other notable prices were achieved by John Rixon

(Lopemede) and James Shouler (Alchester). The sale

at Worcester in May continues to go from strength to

strength and I anticipate the additional Autumn sale at

Worcester in 2019 will be equally as successful.

Unfortunately, the show season was very quiet for

club members this year. We have seen the dispersal of a

number of great herds who were very active on the show

circuit over the last couple of years, and other members

have elected to stay at home this year for a variety of

reasons. Hopefully next year will see us out in force.

Wroxall Happy Chappy 16

Our annual Herd Competition was admirably judged

in September by Noah Hoskins, supported by our very

own Rob Hewlett, and we thank them both for generously

donating their time.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

After a busy show season in June and July, I attended

an NFU co-ordinated event at East Merkland in early

August, which was hosted very ably by the Dyet family. A

tremendous demonstration of stock was on show, and the

work ethos of the whole family was plain to see.

The Spring Sales dominated through until May, where

we attended the main NBA Beef event at Shrewsbury.

As gold sponsors for both NBA events, we expected,

and received, some excellent exposure for our money.

Considering it was late in the season for purchasing

breeding stock, our stand was very busy all day, and we

received some very positive enquiries.

IBR POLICY

GUIDELINES AND

SALE RULES.

The BSCS has championed animal health very strongly

in the past six years - highlighting health in breeding

cattle has been at the forefront of all our advertising

and promotional material.

In 2010 and 2011, some resistance was encountered

when rules were introduced requiring all vendors to be

members of CHeCS-approved health schemes, and to be

testing for Johnes and BVD. Time has proved this to be a

game-changing decision. In the past seven years, we have

the highest average price increases across all breeds and

consistently have the highest clearance rates at the Stirling

sales. Four times during this period we have sold more

bulls than the Charolais, most recently at the February 18

sales, something that was never achieved in the so-called

heydays of the 80s and 90s.

Clearly this is not all down to health status – the cattle

the breeders are producing and the marketing strategy

have improved – these are all part of the ‘total package’

which is driving the breed forward. As a Society, IBR is the

next logical disease to tackle, albeit with a full knowledge

of the complexity of the disease. We feel it is a vital step for

all members to discover what their individual IBR status is –

you cannot manage it if you don’t measure.

Whilst there are still a few AI centres that will purchase

bulls from a market, the Society felt it was completely

wrong to have all bulls tested and vaccinated, which

removes the potential sale to AI centres from breeders.

Between 80 and 90% of bulls sold at pedigree sales enter

the commercial herd. There is no reason why these bulls

should not undergo the same vaccination, quarantine and

test protocol. In light of this, the decision was made to

start with heifers only. A far higher percentage of heifers

sold through Society sales remain in pedigree herds, and

it was logical to protect the expanding or new herd. Whilst

we are aware we are not guaranteeing IBR-free cattle, we

are reducing the risk, and this is to be encouraged. Moving

forwards, this rule may be applied to bulls as well.

Around 60% of heifers sold at Society sales will go to

pedigree herds, and an IBR health requirement offers the

best chance (although not a guarantee) that the animal

is free from IBR and protected at the time of sale. The

purchaser should seek comfort from purchasing stock

that has been vaccinated with an inactivated marker

vaccine, been blood tested clear of wild-type IBR, and has

remained in quarantine since that date. The animal cannot

be presented as IBR-free, but this is deemed the best

course of action to minimise the risk of a purchaser buying

IBR into his herd. For Society testing and vaccination

requirements, a heifer remains so until she calves. The rule

will therefore apply to all maiden and in-calf heifers.

Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a Bovine

Herpes virus. As with all Herpes viruses, once an animal

is infected, it remains so for life, despite the development

of a detectable immune response. The virus survives as a

latent infection in nervous tissue, and can be shed at any

time, especially when the animal is stressed.

Cattle are the main source of the virus; virtually all farms

with an IBR problem have bought it in. The main source

of the virus is not animals with disease, but animals that

have recovered from the disease – those that are latently

infected. You should not buy antibody positive cattle if you

are IBR-free.

Vaccination is an effective means of control, but this

does not stop infected animals from shedding the virus

at a later date. The aim of vaccination is to reduce the

intensity and duration of the disease, and to reduce

shedding of the virus. Vaccination will always be more

010 www.britishsimmental.co.uk


effective when used prior to exposure as prevention,

rather than as control following infection. An assortment

of vaccines, vaccine courses and routes of administration

are available. There are separate indications for managing

abortion and foetal infection with IBR, and also for calves

younger than three months old. Please seek veterinary

advice if this applies to your herd.

There are two main types of vaccine; live or inactivated

(dead). Within each category, there are marker and nonmarker

vaccines. A live vaccine is often used intra-nasally,

or into the muscle. The intra-nasal route will ensure

quicker protection, but the antibody levels are unlikely to

be as high. As the virus is live, it can theoretically replicate

in the animal and ‘infect’ unvaccinated animals. Inactivated

vaccines are never given intra-nasally, and cannot replicate

within the animal. Antibodies are generally high and long

lasting.

Marker vaccines were developed to allow differentiation

between cattle that are vaccinated and those that

have been exposed to wild-type virus. It’s impossible

to differentiate the non-marker vaccines from natural

exposure on a single blood sample. An animal vaccinated

with a marker vaccine and exposed to wild-type virus will

produce wild-type and vaccine antibodies. Antibodies

to IBR can be passed to the calf via colostrum. This will

have an impact on when calves are vaccinated, and blood

samples taken from calves could be antibody-positive for a

number of months.

The IBR vaccinated and monitored free

programme

This is applicable to herds which cannot achieve

full double fencing biosecurity requirements and

demonstrates that the herd is operating a marker

vaccination programme and is free from IBR infection

based on gE antibody testing. It is a lower level of health

status compared to IBR accredited free herds.

• With permitted exceptions all stock over 12 months

old should be marker vaccinated for IBR.

• Sale animals or animals for export or potential

AI should NOT be marker vaccinated and the

vaccination protocols should be discussed with your

vet.

• Two herd tests are carried out between 4 weeks and

12 months apart

• All animals over 12 months of age and nonhomebred

animals younger than 12 months are

eligible for testing

• If these 2 herd tests are clear then the herd is

accredited as vaccinated and monitored free.

IBR Accreditation Programme

• Review and upgrade herd biosecurity programme

to meet the rules of the scheme (see rules summary

or CHeCS technical document).

• Test all animals of twelve months and older and all

non-homebred animals.

• Where all animals test negative this is a clear first

qualifying herd test.

• The second qualifying test can be carried out 1-12

months later. A clear test at that time confirms

accredited status.

• Annual testing is required to maintain accredited

status. This is done on a statistically based sample

from each group of animals over 12 months of age.

• Vaccinated animals can enter accredited herds,

contact your CHeCS provider to confirm % of herd.

Sale rules regarding IBR

As of October 2016, all heifers need to be isolated at

least seven days prior to testing clear and vaccinated

with an IBR marker vaccine, an inactivated IBR vaccine is

preferred to live vaccine.

Test positive animals should be removed and the

process repeated 14 days following removal of test

positives.

Isolation facilities as per CHeCS or own country

government approved, Defra etc.

Cattle vaccinated as young calves can still be isolated

and tested for IBR wild type after vaccination, testing

differentiates between marker vaccine and actual virus, a

booster would then be required pre-sale.

Testing timeline pre-sale as per CHeCS- less than 12

weeks.

A heifer will be classed as such until the first calf is born.

Non-marker vaccines will not be accepted.

Entries from Accredited herds need only to be

vaccinated.

All vaccination dates and the type of vaccine used need

to be clearly stated on your HHD.

We accept and understand that this will not

guarantee that cattle going through a market will

remain IBR free but it is the first step in taking the

breed ahead of the competition regarding IBR.

VOLUNTARY

SEMEN TESTING

INITIATIVE COMMENCING

SPRING 2018.

To further promote the fertility of our

breed, from 1st January 2018 any

breeder selling (offering a bull for

sale) at a Society sale which has been presale

semen tested will receive £50 towards

the cost of the test from the Society on

receipt of a copy of the fertility report.

• The fertility report must include the

individual animal’s UK number, and the

full fertility report.

• Photo copies of originals and electronic

copies will be accepted.

The purchase of a bull can be the most

expensive individual livestock purchase a

commercial farmer will make, and can have

a serious negative impact on the profit of

their herd if he proves infertile. It can also

be a major reason for a purchaser not

returning to an individual breeder or even

breed.

Advantages;

• Comfort for both breeder and

purchaser that the bull is fertile.

• It will put Simmental breed ahead of

other breeds.

• Early identification of problem bulls

• Reduces risk of expensive post sale

claims

• Can reduce insurance premiums.

FAQs on Semen testing;

• It’s only a snap shot on one day? Yes

it is, but if he is fertile it confirms there

is no fundamental issue affecting his

fertility.

• He could become infertile after the

test? Yes, he could but the knowledge

that he has been fertile gives confidence

that any problems may be addressed,

eg infection.

• What if my best bull turns out

infertile? It is better to find out pre-sale

than after he has been sold.

• It’s expensive? It’s a small investment

adding value to your product.

• Electro ejaculations doesn’t assess

ability to serve? This is true but most

infertility claims are due to semen

quality.

• My vets don’t do it? There are large

number of vets and para-professionals

that carry out the service that will be

prepared to travel to you.

• It doesn’t guarantee the semen will

freeze? Correct but 90-95% of all bulls

sold at Society Sales are purchased by

commercial farmers to run and serve

cows naturally.

Testing timeline- ideally within 3

months of the sale, however 3-6 months

is acceptable. Semen testing is not a

warranty. It is a guarantee that on a given

day, a bull was producing an acceptable

quantity of viable semen with no defects

capable of settling cows in calf.

This voluntary initiative will run for a

minimum of two years.

012 www.britishsimmental.co.uk


ENTROPIES

Entropion is a condition where the

eyelashes contact the surface of one

or both eyes as a result of the eyelid

turning in, most commonly noted in the

lower lid. This can cause irritation and

weeping of the eye followed by clouding,

ulcers and ultimately blindness.

There are various ways to define the

condition. Primary entropion occurs

where there is too much eyelid skin for

the conformation of the skull and size

of eyeball. Secondary entropion is as

a result of another condition, such as

dehydration or pain. Secondary entropion

can also be defined as spastic entropion. It

is caused where pain on the surface of the

eye from a foreign body, such as straw, or

from trauma such as a halter injury causes

the defect.

Primary entropion is clearly a genetic

and heritable defect. Secondary entropion

is not necessarily a genetic defect but can

be as a result of a genetic predisposition.

By the very nature of the Simmental

breed - “large elastic eyelids, eyelashes are

standing in-front of more elastic, thicker,

frilled skin around the eyes”- there is a

predisposition to the development of the

condition. If it is likely that this can be

passed on genetically then animals with

this problem should not be retained for

breeding.

Surgical correction can be carried

out to correct entropion provided the

predisposing cause is also managed. This

is appropriate to alleviate suffering in the

animal but is not acceptable as a means

to disguise the condition to allow a bull

to be sold for breeding.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

JOHN MOORE

Although not brought up on a farm, I have been interested in

agriculture for as long as I can remember. Both my grandfathers

were farmers, so livestock breeding is in my blood, and even though

I was brought up in a country vicarage I always aspired to own my own

small farm business.

My father established the Omorga herd (Gaelic for Moore) in 1974 with

a heifer from Bertie Watterson, a cow from Alexander Cameron and two

heifers from a very young Bertie Houston in Donegal. The herd has grown

over the years to 40 cows, and we try to breed clean, muscly cattle with

commercial traits. Bulls and heifers are sold at home, but we also enjoy

selling stock at Stirling and the local Club Sales.

I studied Agriculture at Queen’s University Belfast, and now enjoy

working full time for the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise

(CAFRE) in Northern Ireland. I manage an excellent young team of advisers

who help to develop beef and sheep farmers in the province.

I enjoy serving the BSCS Council, and have made good friends in this

forum. I have been lucky enough to have judged our fantastic breed all

over Britain and Ireland, and enjoy meeting new and old friends in this

manner.

In my youth I enjoyed playing rugby, but now just work or farm. I like

travelling when I can and am also quite involved in our local church, and

local Show committee. I am married to Diane and have one 17 year- old

daughter Cara who enjoys cattle as well.

JIM GOLDIE

ONE OF OUR

Council Members

I

was born and brought up on a Dairy Farm in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

At the age of 16, I left school to work on the family farm with my

parents. My first interest in Simmental cattle came from helping my

then neighbours, Alan & Janet Marshall (Silverhills).

We moved to Newbie Mains, Annan, Dumfriesshire in 1993, where we

built up a herd of Pedigree Holstein Friesian cows to over 200 head plus

young stock. We classified, and milk recorded and through a lot of hard

work and dedication we managed to achieve 2nd highest production herd

on 2 X daily milking in Scotland 2002, at just under 11,000Kgs.

It was in 2004 that we (I say we but I mean myself and Patricia my now

wife!) started the ‘Newbiemains’ Simmental herd. Our first Simmental

heifer was a gift from Patricia’s father Alex Ross (Monaduff Simmentals),

Monaduff Rosebud. We continued by purchasing our type of females

through sales in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Southern

Ireland (not to discriminate!).

I have had a lot of help and advice from many Simmental Breeders up

and down the country but I have to say the late Hector Macaskill was a

big inspiration for me.

We are hoping to continue to take the Simmental Breed forward -

there is always room for improvement. With a little help from my sons (I

have four!) Andrew, Robert, Niall and of course ‘’wee’’ Jim, we will continue

to have a lot of fun and laughs along the way. We have been very

fortunate to meet a lot of fantastic people through the breed and also

make a lot of really good friends.

A message

FROM THE CEO

- Neil Shand

The first week of 2018 saw the untimely passing

of Hector Macaskill following an illness fought

with courage and dignity. Hector was President of

the Society when I joined, and guided the organisation

through a turbulent couple of years with a calm and

steely determination. He is credited with establishing the

stability within the organisation that we now have. Those

of us lucky enough to know him well were fully aware of

his charisma, his honest determination to succeed and his

continued efforts to improve his own herd. The success of

the two Woodhall sales will ensure that Hector’s breeding

lines will remain at the forefront of our breed for many

years to come. He was a great telephone companion on

late night drives as we discussed the merits of this bull

and that bull, and the demise of Glasgow Rangers. A good

friend lost, but never forgotten.

The weather in 2018 was, to say the least, a challenge.

The beast from the east provided us with some freezing

weather resulting in late turnouts, followed by droughts

which caused shortage of fodder crops. All this followed on

from a winter when stocks were used up. It will take at least

one more full season before the forage situation settles

down, and we can only hope for more seasonal weather and

less extremities in the forecast.

The prime cattle trade has been affected by the amount

of cheaper cow beef becoming available, as producers avoid

keeping empty and unproductive cows through a second

potentially expensive winter. Spring Sales in 2018 - Stirling

excluded - were bumpy for all breeds, and last year was not

the year to make major calls based on those trends. We

continue to report our sale averages as bulls/females sold

through the ring, unlike some of our major competitors. The

Stirling October sale saw our second highest October sale

average and a good clearance, with the Mendick Dispersal

also hugely successful.

The last five years have seen more dispersals and major

reductions than would have been ideal, and these have

a major impact on bull trade. It is a tremendous credit

to the breeders that we have continued to hold our own

considering the numbers of bull calves both at foot and

inside cows that we have sold recently. The success of all

these dispersals and reductions are clear testament to the

demand for the breed.

The quality of our cattle at sales continues to be very

good, but we can, and should, always strive to improve

further. Standing still in terms of quality would lead to us

moving backwards in comparison to other breeds. There

has been a significant lift in the number of herds being

classified this year, and it does no harm at all to have an

independent critic cast their eye over your cattle. As a tool

for increasing quality in your herd, classification is one of the

most important areas to focus on. In the past 18 months,

we have seen top commercial herds paying 15000gns and

18000gns for bulls at Stirling; confirmation that quality does

pay.

Looking ahead to 2019, we may see an outcome to Brexitbut

then again, we may not! The resilience of agriculture and

the need to feed the nation will help to ensure the stability

of the beef industry in the long term. However, this is out of

our control, and we should expect some small bumps along

the way until everything settles down.

Genomics remain a buzz word in our industry and we

are keeping a very close eye on the potential benefits

of DNA analysis and cattle performance. There are still

misconceptions regarding genomics. Before they can be

considered reliable, we need far more raw data to be

collected- for example weights and scanning information.

It is from this information that the genomic database is

constructed.

In the next 18 months, we will move offices and stage

our 50th anniversary celebrations, two of the biggest single

issues we will have dealt with as a breed office. As we work

towards these events, we will strive to continue to offer the

membership the best support we can.

Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2019.

EVENTS 2018

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

2018 was another year packed with promotional

events. We kicked off in February at Dungannon

market with the Northern Irish NBA event. Market

temperatures were well into the minuses as the first Beast

from the East came rolling in, but this didn’t appear to

affect attendance at the event. With enthusiastic support

from local club members and some tremendous cattle on

display, we were again awarded the best stand competition

- a positive start to the year.

The Spring Sales dominated through until May, where

we attended the main NBA Beef event at Shrewsbury.

As gold sponsors for both NBA events, we expected,

and received, some excellent exposure for our money.

Considering it was late in the season for purchasing

breeding stock, our stand was very busy all day, and we

received some very positive enquiries.

Once again this year, we teamed up with the Luing

Cattle Society at their annual open day, which was held

at Lanton Estate, Marley Knowe Farm, Wooler NE71 6TG

by kind permission of Ian & Tocky McKie. The main topic

of the day was the hardiness of Sim-Luing cows and the

popularity of Sim-Luing heifers as replacements.

There was well in excess of 200 people in attendance,

and an informative and enjoyable day was had by all.

Agri–Expo was held on 2nd November at Carlisle market

– the start of the winter events. Once again, we had an

extremely good stand with an exhibition of commercial

cattle which were second to none. Following the trend of

the previous year, the footfall at this event appeared to be

down, giving the impression that even free-to-enter events

can run their course.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

Agri-fest at Westpoint Exeter, an event run by the South

West NBA, followed on November 7th. Although we do

need to have a presence at an event in the south west, I

have long campaigned that this event should be run every

two years; the attendance figures simply do not justify an

annual event. It appears that next year’s event will be run

by Devon County Show, and a decision as to whether or

not we will attend will be made in due course.

Our next stop was the English Winter Fair at Bingley

Hall in Staffordshire on 17th-18th November. Sunday is

the busier of the two days, but this is another event whose

future will be in question if the numbers do not improve.

Our stand was well-supported by the Midlands Club, and

the cattle were from our monitor farm – an absolute credit

to Ian Willison and to the breed

The final event was the Welsh Winter Fair on 25th and

26th November. This remains a hugely popular event for

commercial farmers, and the Monday was probably the

busiest day I have experienced at any event, although

Tuesday’s attendance did suffer a little as a result. Once

again, the cattle on the stand were a credit to both the

breeder and the breed, and they created a forum for easy

discussion with interested parties.

Thanks, and appreciation must go to the Northern

Ireland Club, South West Club and the North West

Club for their help and support at these events,

along with sincere thanks to those that provided

cattle for the stands; Mr & Mrs P B & J A Borlase, Ian

Willison, Anthony Hart, Jim & Patricia Goldie, David

& Rosemary Cornthwaite and Messrs Pearson. It’s

not an easy task sourcing cattle for these events, and

we were very fortunate to have access to extremely

good cattle this year, promoting what the breed

can achieve. Without your continued support these

events simply wouldn’t happen.

BREED PROMOTION

In order to remain at the leading edge of breed and sale

promotion, we have started using video to promote the

breed and individual sales. Using a powerful brand, we

can deliver a clear and bespoke message to commercial

customers near and far. These video productions are

timeless, and non-critical of other breeds and processes,

the most recent production being a big push on the

benefits of eating British red meat. We saw this as a means

of giving our commercial customers a boost by promoting

their produce. With regard to cost, these videos produce

a much better return in terms of pence per view. We shall

continue to advertise in the mainstream agricultural press,

but adverts will be less in number, smaller in size and more

targeted. This week’s press adverts are next week’s chip

papers.

These videos have predominantly been released on

social media – both Facebook and Twitter - and have been

linked to the Society website and Youtube channel (Simm

TV). Our target market of young commercial farmers are

increasingly using social media and the internet to learn

and source information about the industry. The social

media platform is free to view for anyone with internet

access, and a phone that doesn’t go clunk. Adverts in the

mainstream agricultural press tend to require dipping into

one’s pocket.

A special mention to both Catherines at MacGregor

photography for their ground breaking work in producing

and launching the videos three months ahead of the

original schedule. We are delighted to be industry leaders

in the use of this type of advertising, and whilst we are sure

other breeds will follow suit, everyone will remember who

was first.

A DANISH ADVENTURE

Penny Lally July 2018

A group of us all met at Stansted

A gathering of Simmental folk

The weather exceedingly temperate

So hot, almost beyond a joke

Apart from a bit of a drama

A threesome just might miss the plane

They arrived, a bit flustered and breathless

Muttering ‘something was really a pain!’

Calm ensued, we landed at Aarhus

Then coached through Danish countryside

To the Herd of Jensen Hendrik Kvist

With a stock bull, ex AI bull ‘Guide’

Hendrik’s day job a busy ‘rat catcher’

His strong cows looked well in the dust

We had lunch and then off to our Hotel

Where a cold shower was really a must!

We had a wonderful dinner with Henning

Who gave us an informative talk

Then a certain few went off to the bars

And others enjoyed a quiet walk

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

First visit, day two, to Brian Anderson

Their Canadian Embryo bull ‘Fidal Lexus’ used

Good cows, then to see Henning’s cattle

Super lunch and Schnapps kept us amused!

We were then off to visit ‘the Dentist’

But stopped at a beach on the way

40k long and quite lovely, we paddled

The North Sea was so warm I must say

Stewart’s handkerchief, knotted, his new head gear!

Like a typical Brit when abroad

He had us laughing like fools at his antics

Then to the coach where we climbed back aboard

The Dentist’s herd, Stenbakken, was outstanding

Big easy fleshing long cows we admired

Bull ‘Linde General’ and ‘Stenbakken Krole’ looked well

With good calves that both of them sired

We went back to the Home of dear Henning

For a dinner under the shade of his trees

Such wonderful kind hospitality

Special memories made from times as these

Next day to the wellknown herd ‘Lykke’

Where their show animals still happily grazed

A feast for our eyes of fine cattle

The size of their heifers left us amazed

Langmose next, fine cattle and welcome ice cream

Then picnic at a stunning Fjord which was hot

Last herd ‘Linde’ cows and calves to be seen

We chatted with the family in their lovely spot

In evening a fabulous BBQ dinner

Sat around a long table was fun

Lots of laughs and then in the bar till quite late

Our wonderful trip almost done

The final day at the show was terrific

Mr Donnelly had a big task ahead

Judging an amazing array of fine cattle

He got the job right people said!

We had dinner with the exhibitors later

Most hospitable folk , now our friends

Thank you Henning so much we all loved it

We’ll be back!............now this ditty ends.

You will be familiar with some of the herd names we visited

during the trip, Birkegaard Simmental, Lykke Simmental,

Stenbakken Simmental, Rosa Simmental, Fedal Simmental,

Langmose Simmental, Linde Simmental.

Our sincere thanks go to Henning for organising the trip;

all the herds that kindly welcomed us, and the outstanding

hospitality that everyone provided.

A Farming Family’s

Commitment

to Suckler Beef

Production

Recognised

030 www.britishsimmental.co.uk


A

desire to build their business has

seen Aberdeenshire beef farmers

Gary and Angela Christie push cow

numbers in their suckler herd in readiness

for their son Adam joining the business in

future.

The dedication of the family, who

farm at Midtown of Glass near Huntly,

was recognised recently when they were

announced finalists in this year’s AgriScot

Scotch Beef Farm of the Year Award.

The aim of the award, run by AgriScot

and Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and

sponsored by Thorntons Solicitors, is to

showcase excellence in the production of

cattle in Scotland, and to raise the profile

of the dedication and stock management

skills behind the production of Scotch Beef

PGI.

The family run a pure Simmental and

Simmental cross suckler herd on their

157-hectare farm. They operate split

calving, with 100 cows calving in spring and

the remaining 35 in autumn.

Gary Christie commented: “The split

calving suits both labour and housing

availability and means we can always have

cattle to sell, which helps to manage the

cashflow throughout the year.”

In recent years, the family have

also developed a successful pedigree

Simmental herd that they manage

alongside the commercial herd. Having

only started to sell pedigree bulls in 2016,

they have achieved top prices of 14,000gns

and 13,000gns as well as a Reserve Overall

Simmental Championship Title at UA

Stirling in October 2017.

“The pedigree bulls have exceeded our

expectations in such a short time and it has

added another valuable income stream to

the business,” explained Mr Christie.

While the Christies clearly gain

enjoyment and satisfaction from their

pedigree cattle, the focus is undoubtedly

on maximising profit and efficiency in the

commercial herd.

“Heifers are calved at two years old

which gives us a quicker return financially.

Keeping heifers an extra year on the farm

without a calf is not cost effective. We also

find heifers are easier calved at two years

old and they have a better milking ability.”

A ten-week calving period for the spring

calving herd begins in the third week of

March and all spring calving is finished by

the end of May. Cows and calves are turned

out to grass around mid-May, depending

on the grass cover and weather.

Mr Christie explained: “The heifer

and bull calves are run in separate lots

once they are turned out. Creep feed is

introduced to the bull calves around mid-

July and to the heifers mid-August. Cows

and calves are grazed throughout the

summer and housed around the beginning

of November and calves are weaned three

weeks to a month later. When taken in for

the winter, cows and youngstock are fed a

total mixed ration which is made up for us

by SAC after the forage analysis is done.”

Weaning is delayed until there is a good

cold snap to help reduce the chances of

pneumonia developing in the calves. “By

weaning this way we rarely see issues with

pneumonia and do not find it necessary

to vaccinate calves as a result,” said Mr

Christie.

Health status is an important factor

and the farm has been a member of the

Hi-Health Scheme since 2007. The herd

has been BVD accredited since 2009 and

achieved Johnes Level 1 in 2014. Cows are

vaccinated against BVD, Leptospirosis and

Rotavirus.

The family also routinely select and test

12 yearlings from the group for IBR each

year and have never yet had an animal test

positive.

Post weaning, calves remain split by

sex with the bull calves taken through to

finishing as entire bulls at 12-15 months at

400-420kg deadweight.

Mr Christie said: “To maximise carcase

values we aim to get as close to the weight

limits as we can without going over. Bulls

are weighed every three weeks in the

finishing period and are selected when they

meet the correct specifications.”

He added: “We find selling deadweight to

be the best option for us, particularly when

selling prime bulls. We value the feedback

we get from the abattoir on our cattle and

regularly speak with procurement staff to

ensure we are producing cattle that meet

their requirements.”

The Christies keep some of their heifers

as replacements, and the rest are sold to

other suckler herds for breeding. “There is

always good demand for these and they

are sold privately to regular customers.

Heifers which are not suitable for breeding

are finished on the farm” said Mr Christie.

All herd records are maintained using

a software package, and the recording of

births, movements, deaths and weights

on the system gives them a clear picture

of herd performance at any given point in

time.

All stock bulls are checked by a vet

annually and are semen tested to ensure

that the bulls are fertile and healthy when

they are turned out with the cows.

In a bid to maximise profits further Gary

and Angela have recently begun using

digestate from a local anaerobic digester

as fertiliser for their grassland with a

predicted saving of 75% on annual fertiliser

costs.

“This is just one of a number of

032 www.britishsimmental.co.uk


innovative measures we have introduced

to reduce our costs wherever we can.

Another is to finish male calves as prime

bulls rather than steers which will save

approximately one tonne of feed barley per

head,” said Mr Christie.

He added: “Both this and the fertiliser

saving will help reduce the environmental

impact of our beef enterprise. Participation

in the Beef Efficiency Scheme also helps us

to focus on the decisions being made.”

In recent years, the Christies have

invested in modern buildings for cattle

housing and feed storage, and have also

purchased an additional 40 hectares to

allow for expansion of the business in the

future.

The family is undoubtedly committed to

a future in beef farming and are developing

their herd to be as efficient, profitable

and sustainable as it can be for future

generations.

Sheeted Gate

A Member’s

Answer

to TB

In November 2018, DEFRA released a report reviewing

the Government’s 25-year strategy with regard to

Bovine Tuberculosis (TB). The review included major

recommendations to help meet the challenge of preventing

spread of the disease, and in particular for farmers to have

a duty of care to protect their own livestock against the

threat of TB. General diseases of cattle, such as BVD and

IBR are relatively easy to manage and eradicate; the source

of any infection can be culled, and a vaccination program

put in place. Unfortunately, these choices are not available

in the case of TB, and other options need to be considered.

We farm in a high-risk area, and TB is in evidence in the

locality. Two years ago, we decided to take the bull by the

horns, and look into what we could do to secure our cattle.

First up was a detailed risk assessment. This was done

by walking the land boundaries and looking for badger

incursion; setts, latrines and runs. Whilst most of the fields

showed no signs of incursion, a single field, set some four

miles away from the farm, had evidence of badger activity.

A search of the area located two setts within a mile of the

field. Around this time, the TB Advisory Service (TBAS)

were advertising for farmers in the high risk area to call on

their services. We decided there was nothing to lose, and

booked an appointment.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

Main Electric Fence

The TBAS identifies four main sources of infection;

1. Brought-in cattle. This can be cattle which have

been purchased at a market or privately, your own

cattle which have left the holding for a show or

those which return unsold from the market.

2. Neighbouring cattle. However biosecure and

health conscious you are, if your cattle have noseto-nose

contact with other cattle, there’s a risk.

3. Latent infection. The TB skin test does not have

absolutely 100% detection rate, and animals can

retain infection without reacting to a skin test.

4. Wildlife. Be it from badgers, deer, alpacas, or other

sources, there is no doubt that wildlife is a threat.

The TBAS spent some time looking round the farm,

noting current biosecurity, hazards and TB history. They

define biosecurity as measures, or a series of measures,

which reduce the risk of disease; in livestock terms, this

is based on the premise that prevention is better than

cure. We were presented with a chart showing what

percentage risk each of the categories above currently

posed. In our case, we run a closed herd, and although we

show cattle, they are always isolated and tested before

rejoining the herd. We are largely bordered by roads,

rivers and railways, and the only field with neighbouring

cattle has a minimum 6 metre gap. At this time, we had

one non-homebred animal in our herd, and although this

had passed four years worth of TB testing, a 5% risk was

allocated. Which left us with a whopping 95% of our risk

being allocated to wildlife.

It was very clear from this that the responsibility to

protect our cattle from wildlife threat lay with us. We had

Main Electric Fence

spent several years vaccinating and testing to achieve elite

accreditation, so it seemed imperative that we use any

means necessary to protect against the threat of TB.

TBAS recommend a five point plan, which we followed

religiously. Having some of the recommendations in place

already – for example fencing off all watercourses – we

set about the remainder of the list, following the advice

from TBAS of ‘majoring on the major, and minoring on the

minor’. The major issue to us was obviously the wildlife

concern, and in particular the local badger population.

Restrict wildlife access. Providing the setts are outside

the field boundaries, the easiest way to prevent badger-tocattle

contact is to prevent badgers from accessing grazing

land. Fortunately for us, our fields do not contain any setts,

and we looked at prevention of access by a combination

of fencing, closing gaps and sheeting gates. The original

plan was to dig fences down into the ground to prevent

access, but we were informed that strategically placed

electric fence would be a much more effective deterrent.

The fence has to be spaced at 10cm, 15cm, 20cm and 30cm

from the ground. The boundaries of the land are very

uneven, and we used fence stakes to pull the wire down

where required. Where there was evidence of badger

entry points, an extra strand was put in place at 40cm. All

gaps need to be less than 7.5cm, and gates were covered

with galvanised sheeting. For extra security, concrete can

be laid under gateways, but our gateways are fairly hard

standing and this wasn’t considered necessary. We thought

it might not be the best idea to run high voltage wires

around the edges of the catching pens, so this was done

with sheeting too.

Maintenance of the fence is imperative to ensure it is

working to its full potential. Two of our fields are mains

fenced, one is on a battery fencer. They are checked

daily using a hand-held fence tester, (or occasionally on

someone’s legs) and once a week the fence perimeters are

walked so short-outs can be heard, located and rectified,

and any evidence of incursion can be spotted. Once every

few months or when needed, the boundaries are strimmed

to keep the grass down.

Manage feed and water. Although our risk assessment

showed absolutely no evidence of badgers at the farm,

we decided that many of the recommendations would be

great practice. These mainly involved preventing wildlife

access to anything consumed by the cattle. Feed and

water troughs have been raised, and are cleaned out and

disinfected regularly. We mix and roll our own feed, so

grain bins have been fitted with removable secure lids.

The shed has had metal roller shutter doors fitted, and all

entry gaps have been sealed. The personnel door has been

secured with a self-closing unit. We feed a TMR, and clamp

silage is used. The danger from our grass silage is minimal,

but we keep it well covered and tidy. Our watercourses are

all fenced off, and a bridge connects adjoining parts of one

field that is split in two.

Neighbouring cattle. Reducing the risk from your

neighbour’s animals is imperative. All your precautions

are worth very little if the less-than-careful next-door

neighbour’s playful limmy crosses can achieve nose-tonose

contact with your animals. Fortunately, the vast

majority of our land is very isolated from other livestock,

either because of its location or because of boundaries

with roads, rivers or railways. Where there is neighbouring

cattle, the fencing gap exceeds 6 metres due to stone

pathways, although 3m is considered adequate. There is

no shared grazing with either other cattle or other species.

Stop infected cattle entering the herd. This doesn’t

just cover the risk from dodgy Dave’s mongrel crosses

purchased from the market, but also from returning cattle,

either unsold from market or

returning from shows. We have a

closed herd, and use AI, so have

no risk from bought-in cattle. Our

show animals are kept separate

for the season in the isolation unit

and garden paddock, and then

tested after a suitable interval

before rejoining the herd.

set up. There is a permanent foot dip, and everyone is

asked to use it before visiting the cattle. All areas are kept

clean and tidy, and equipment is cleaned after use. The

cattle sheds are cleaned out regularly, disinfected and

are painted annually by the person who has the lowest

summer workload....

Although we may initially have been sceptical about how

successfully an electric fence could prevent badger access,

it really has worked. A bi-annual risk assessment of the

field with previous badger activity has shown no sign of

unwanted visitors at all.

Our key performance indicator is a small allotment

fenced carefully into one corner. For seven long years,

the allotment owner has cursed and vilified our black

and white furry friends as his attempts to grow maize for

his table have been scuppered. Post electric fence, the

maize has thrived, and harvest has been celebrated in

all quarters, both with great tasting sweetcorn and with

continuing clear annual TB tests which are against the

general experience in the area.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

Minimise infection from

manure. The M.bovis bacteria has

been shown to survive in muck

for up to six months. It is killed by

sunlight, so storing outside will

ensure it is quickly destroyed. The

site of the muck heap should be

fenced off from cattle with electric

fence, away from drains and on

flat land. We have allocated an

area of one field for muck storage,

which has been fenced off. The

muck is stored in rotation from

year to year – pretty much like

stock rotation at the supermarket

- so we know which is ready to

be spread. Spreading muck from

other farms and using external

equipment is a high risk game,

and to be avoided.

General housekeeping. Aside

from the recommendations of

the TBAS, there are some basic

but obvious measures that are in

place. Boots and outer clothing

are kept clean, and external taps

CLASSIFICATION

FOR BRITISH SIMMENTAL CATTLE

What a privilege it is to write a few lines in the

Simmental Journal.

It is now some 3 years since the Simmental Cattle Society

ventured into Type Classification. I was fairly confident

the scheme would be a success, one of the reasons being

that all Simmental breeders that were in dairying before

they went into beef were in favour of classifying because

they knew the advantages it would bring to the breed.

The scheme certainly identifies the strengths and

weaknesses in your cows. If you make use of all the

information that is available after your herd is classified,

then you will find it is a great advantage to help you in

selecting bulls in AI or purchasing a stock bull.

The last year has certainly seen a number of new herds

coming on board. The more cows that are scored the

better because it will give a clearer picture of the quality

of cows around the country.

As a team of classifiers, we are very impressed with what

we are seeing, the milking ability of the Simmental cow

and the way she feeds her calf. As breeders you are to be

congratulated!

I think legs & feet are the main traits that some breeders

need to be careful and concentrate on, certainly when

buying stock bulls.

If any of your clubs or a group of individuals ever want a

talk or have a demo on a farm (which is better than a talk)

then just let us know.

Good luck to you all and keep breeding good cows.

Thanks

IVP: cost effective

and welfare friendly

In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP) is proving to be a

cost-effective welfare friendly service for an expanding

number of pedigree beef breeders. Offered by specialist

artificial breeding technology company AB Europe,

the process combines donor oocyte (eggs) collection,

maturation and fertilisation, followed by a culture period

and then either transfer or freezing of subsequent

embryos.

AB Europe vet, Gavin Tait outlines what pedigree

breeders can expect.

• The IVP process is currently averaging approximately 10

oocytes (unfertilized eggs) per donor.

• IVP averages two to three embryos per donor each

collection depending on cow, management and season.

• Collections can be done every week, compared to

MOET flushing where a collection occurs once a month.

• We can collect from a cow in around 15 minutes -

setting up takes most of the time, so it’s a relatively

quick process.

• Multiple bulls can be used over one donor depending

on oocyte numbers.

• Collections can be done four weeks post calving, and

with pregnant donors up to 12 weeks of gestation.

• There is no line up programme or need for drug use

or FSH in the donors who tend to get back in calf very

easily.

• Some cows are consistently producing four or more

embryos every week, others will produce between

one and two. Occasionally we also will produce 12 or

more usable embryos in one week. Cows tend to be

consistent in the

number of oocytes

/ embryos they

produce each week -

it is possible to select

high yielders.

• Semen is vital to

the programme’s

success. Once we

identify a batch

which works well,

it will tend to do

so consistently,

and vice versa.

We may be able

to help advise

on ‘good’ or ‘bad’

batches of semen

based on previous

experience.

Gavin Tait

Robert Macgregor

is amongst a

growing number of

Simmental breeders

who are successfully

using IVP to exploit

some of their herd’s

best genetics. So far,

he has implanted 10

embryos resulting

in four live calves by

Team Celtic 11 - three bulls and one heifer,

and he says he found the process to be simple,

welfare friendly and cost effective.

“IVP was very straight forward. No prep was

required, no drugs, no line up, no stress. We simply

brought the two cows in from the paddock, Gavin

turned up and the job was done within 60 minutes.

The collection resulted in 35 oocytes in total; we

used three different bulls. The overall result was 11

embryos; we froze them until the recipients were

ready; we implanted in 10 heifers and achieved the

four calves.”

Robert says IVP’s advanced technology is

enabling him to draw on some of the best

Simmentals from his Team herd of 70 breeding

females based at Kirkton of Mailer, Perth.

“Team Misty 5 was one of the two donors;

she is amongst the best females I’ve bred since I

established the herd 30 years ago - she is within

the breed’s top 5%, a Royal Highland reserve junior

interbreed champion and one of her bull calves

made 5,000gns. A point came when she wouldn’t

hold, I tried MOET which proved to be unsuccessful,

and she was ready to go away when I heard about

and moved on to IVP.

“The two bulls we used over the collection

included Team Celtic 11 who is also within the

breed’s top 1% and trait leader for 200, 400 and 600

day weights; we sold him to Wolfstar for 11,000gns

in 2012, and Celtic’s first eight sons sold at auction

averaged 10,500gns.

“The three IVP bulls by Team Celtic 11 are

scheduled for Stirling in 2019, and we anticipate

there will be considerable interest.” He adds:

“Overall, the project has been such a success, we

have had no hesitation agreeing to take a second

collection from Misty in 2019.”

FOR UK CATTLE BREEDERS

Cutting edge technology to

replace traditional

MOET flushing in your herd

In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP) is a new cost effective, time efficient, welfare friendly

service from artificial breeding technology company, AB Europe.

IVP as a reproductive tool can accelerate embryo production from the UK’s superior

animals to increase genetic gain.

MOET

IVP delivers all the benefits of traditional MOET in enabling Simmental breeders to exploit the value of their high

genetic merit animals, however it has many more advantages which in turn result in IVP being a more time

efficient, more cost effective and more welfare friendly service for your donors. AB Europe provides both an onfarm

and on-centre collection service performed by highly skilled, experienced and approachable staff.

over to Pico Island

My trip to

THE AZORES

Some of the people

Tom has to thank

Dargill Gemma with a heifer

Dargill Helen in Sao Jorge

I

was asked by Neil Shand if we would

be prepared to invite some Simmental

breeders from overseas to Dargill for a

farm visit. In October 2016, we welcomed

around 20 visitors from the Azores to the

farm. Fortunately, two of their number

could speak better English than I could

speak Portuguese, so Jenna Pereira and

Maria Simas were able to translate for us.

The aim of their visit was to look at our

stock to see how the British Simmental

differed from their cattle, and to compare

different practices. As the visit went on, it

became clear that some were interested in

buying cattle for export.

In February 2017, 12 heifers and two

young bulls were sent on an epic adventure

to the Azores. The journey took twelve

days by road and sea; we were kept up to

date with photos of their journey along the

way. I kept in touch with Jenna and Maria

on social media; it was interesting to see

news of how the animals were settling in. In

time, Evelyn and I were invited to visit the

Azores to see the progress of the animals

for ourselves. In July 2018, we travelled to

our base on Sao Miguel island and stayed

in Ponta Delgada for two weeks. There are

nine islands in the Azores, so there was

plenty of island hopping to enable me to

see all the cattle.

On Monday morning, I left for Pico, and

stayed in a B & B for the week. I was met

by Jenna, who gave me a tour round the

island, and we then caught up with Maria to

plan our schedule.

Tuesday morning saw a ferry ride to

Faial Island, where we were met by our

guide for the day. Most of the cattle on this

island are tethered and they looked in good

condition. The first two heifers I saw had

calved. Unfortunately Feltra had lost her

calves at birth, but Gemma had a heifer

calf at foot, and I was very impressed. We

then went on to see a heifer from Overhill

House herd, and a young bull from Dargill.

The bull had been used on the cattle as

soon as he arrived, so he had not grown

on in the way I was expecting, but he had

lots of good calves running round. At this

point, I realised that an open mind on the

differences in farming practice in the two

countries was required. I should stress

that they do not feed concentrates to their

cattle as it is so expensive to buy; cattle

are fed on maize silage in the winter, and

kept outside. Before we headed back to

Pico, our guide took us on a trip to see a

Erupted volcano on Faial

Nice view down the side of

the mountain in Sao Jorge

Dargill Hoss with cows in Pico

volcano that last erupted in 1957. It had

been turned into a museum, and was very

educational and interesting.

On Wednesday morning, we took the

ferry to the longest island, Sao Jorge. We

were met by Jorge Rocha, who has 60

dairy cows and who bought five heifers.

We left the ferry for his farm, calling in to

a friend of his on the way. He has a small

herd of Limousin cattle, which were very

impressive. We headed off to view Jorge’s

dairy herd, which were not as tall as our

Holsteins, but good cattle just the same.

Lunch was at Jorge’s house; I have never

seen so much food on the table to feed ten

people – I wish I had taken a photo! After

lunch, we headed off to see his suckler

herd, and his pure Simmentals, which

looked very impressive. His cattle were not

tethered, although the occasional young

bull was. We were also taken on a tour of

the island; we headed down a road on the

side of a cliff, and ended up burning out

the brakes on the car. This didn’t seem to

concern Jorge, we just carried on to the

dairy factory where they produce a special

cheese you can only find on the island. We

returned to finish off lunch, to which Jorge’s

wife had added two more main dishes and

two more puddings! The tremendous food

really does deserve a special thank you! Full

of food, we headed back for the ferry, by

which time it was almost dark.

Thursday was a later start, so I decided

to have breakfast at the B & B. Banana

and honey with cold rice pudding was not

what I had expected, but it tasted very

good. Early afternoon, I was picked up by

Jenna to look at our other bull, who was

at the farm of Jose Silva. He had bought

the bull to run with some females that

he had imported from Southern Ireland.

This bull had not been used as quickly,

and had grown on to a larger size; some

of his calves on the ground looked very

promising. Some of the breeders had been

sent in the wrong genetic direction, and, as

a result, the cows were lacking milk.

Jenna took me to see some of the feed

lots that the family run, and they explained

that there were only two main buyers of

meat on the islands, therefore pricing is

almost fixed by the purchasing groups.

All males are kept entire, and killed for

veal at 10 months of age. The remainder

of the meat, including steaks, are from

females over the age of three, which would

normally have had a calf first.

On Friday morning, Jenna arrived early to

drop me off with Maria. She was involved in

organising her local cattle show, and would

catch up with us later in the day. Maria’s

husband Jose, is very proud of his herd of

Simmental, Charolais and Limousin cattle,

which are grazed up in the mountains all

over the island. Maria and Jose spend their

days going from one side of Pico to the

other, crossing over mountains, covering

a large distance to see their cattle. The

cattle themselves were in good condition

considering the dry climate, and there

was a very good bull calf which they were

considering keeping for breeding.

The three islands are all different in

landscape and farming practices. Farmers

on Faial appeared to have smaller pieces of

land, hence the cattle were tethered. They

seemed to have more grass than arable,

but it was still very fertile. Sao Jorge was

more like our own landscape, with the

added bonus of grass that grows all year

round. Pico was a large mountain covered

with ash with a small covering of earth,

and appeared to have the most difficult

conditions in which to raise cattle.

A group of us talked at length about

how to improve the breed out there.

The islanders are fully aware that

improvements need to be made, and are

talking about coming back to the UK in the

future.

I would like to thank Jenna and Maria for

all their hard work and organisation, and to

everyone who took the time to meet with

me during my visit. Your hospitality was

second to none.

RED OAK

SIMMENTALS AT

By George Coles

Back in August we attended Countryfile

Live with some of our cattle - Grace

and her calf James Bond, Elizabeth

our pet Simmy X heifer and Mayflower,

a pedigree Red Angus. We were in the

Passion for Farming/Adam’s Farm Area,

which gives the public the chance to see

livestock up close and ask us questions

about what we do and about our animals.

The idea of the Ask the Farmer section is

to get real life farmers talking directly to

members of the public and answering all

their questions.

Countryfile Live is held at Blenheim

Palace in Oxfordshire. It is not an

agricultural show, and is not advertised

as one, and is attended by all the BBC

Countryfile Team plus some other famous

faces. The event attracts over 120,000

people over 4 days; most of these are not

from the farming community, and for some

it is the first time they have seen livestock up

close. The look on some people’s faces when

they see how big the cattle are is a picture,

it’s even better when they get to touch them!

We showed our cattle in the ring, and

held question and answer sessions with the

public, covering everything from the breed

to the show stick. Once a day I was also

involved in a question and answer session

with a vet from Hook Norton Vets. I took

a cow out into the ring and we discussed

everything from dog control and poo issues,

health of the animals, the use of new

052 www.britishsimmental.co.uk


technology, including my thermal imaging

cameras, and we even treated two calves

who had the start of poorly eyes due to

fly strike. We also had Jack Walton carry

out a fake auction each day to show how

pedigree cattle are sold; Grace reached just

below £200,000 at one of the auctions (if

only!)

Some of the questions and comments

we were getting were:

What is a Simmental and where is it from?

I didn’t know they were so big!

How does using embryos work?

What does a X animal mean?

And the best of all - How do you tell a

heifer from a bullock?!

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

Many farmers are not fans of the BBC

and the program Countryfile (me included

on the BBC) but this event is the only one I

know of where the majority of the people

are not from farming backgrounds. This was

my second year; last year I met the Waker

family and helped to get Alfie started on his

road in agriculture. Since introducing him

to the Aberdeen Angus youth development

program he has gone from strength to

strength and now his brother Charlie is also

starting to get involved. I still see them when

I can and am in regular contact with them.

This year I met another family who luckily

live close to me; it was their daughter’s

dream to milk a cow, so for her 18th

birthday I arranged for her to go to a friend’s

dairy farm and milk a cow.

Throughout the 4 days, we talked to

hundreds of people about what we do and

how we care for our animals. With the large

amount of focus currently centred on the

vegan movement, and negative content on

social media, it is good to be able to spread

positive news.

This event really does give us the chance

to shout about how good we are at what

we do to the end user. I was interviewed by

local radio and said “it does not matter if you

buy a burger from McDonalds or steak from

Tesco, without the general public on board

with us we have no customer”.

In 2019 there are going to be two

events, one in Oxfordshire and the other in

Yorkshire. I will be there again next year and

it would be good if we could perhaps get

the Society and more members involved?

Although very tiring, it is a cracking event to

be involved with and at the end of the day

you only need one Alfie a year to make it

worthwhile!!

PCHS NEWS

Premium Cattle Health Scheme

Conflicting Test Results for Johne’s Disease

It is not uncommon to have an animal that tests blood antibody positive for Johne’s Disease

and then when followed up with a faecal culture or PCR test, the results are negative. Under

CHeCS rules a herd can maintain or even improve its risk level status from the faecal culture/

PCR results, but what do you do with the individual positive animal? Always bear in mind that

the blood test positive identifies that the animal is high risk and that the Johne’s bacteria can

be intermittently shed in the faeces.

Our general advice is that these animals are considered high risk and should be isolated and

then removed from the herd. For high genetic merit animals, embryo transfer or ova pick up

techniques remain an option to preserve specific genetic lines. If you wish to discuss specific

scenarios, please discuss this with your PCHS vet.

Bovela Vaccine for BVD

You may be aware of the new Bovela vaccine for BVD which is now on the market, which

is a live double deleted (L2D) vaccine. Due to its live attenuated nature, the strong immune

response results in a significantly higher antibody level than with use of killed vaccines. This

has some implications for diagnostic and herd screening testing which can be easily managed

in the following ways:

• Check testing can still be performed as recommended from nine months of age, with the

reminder that vaccination must be performed after the check test has been carried out

• Farms that want to use Bovela from three months of age for young stock protection can

also achieve CHeCS accreditation by tissue tagging and testing every calf born

• It is recommended that antigen screening in blood or milk is carried out prior to vaccination

or a minimum of 21 days after vaccination

• If using bulk milk PCR testing it is advised to test prior to vaccination or after 21 days

• Bulk milk antibody testing will remain strongly positive in Bovela vaccinated herds and will

not be a reliable testing method going forward

If you have any further questions on testing options please contact the lab to discuss further.

Wales

Gwaredu BVD — Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Eradication

The Welsh Eradication Programme is a three year industry

led voluntary scheme launched in September 2017 and is

financed by the Welsh Government. It is designed to fit

around TB testing. The vet takes 5 blood samples from each

group of animals 9 – 18 months old. The results and next

steps are then discussed with the vet at the reading of the

TB test. The initial blood sampling is free and if any results

come back positive then the farmer will be supported up

to the value of £500 to conduct a PI hunt. There has been

a positive response with 5000 farms in Wales (40%) taking

up this opportunity. The project is running for 3 years. The

programme will launch an online educational package, a

trading database and an online biosecurity package during

2018. PCHS members in Wales should not have to pay for

their screening test while the project is running.

Scottish BVD eradication scheme

The scheme was launched in September 2010 and kickstarted

by 4000 herds taking advantage of subsidised

screening from Scottish Government – £36 for testing and

£72 for a PI hunt. This was followed by mandatory screening

in Phase 2 and Control Measures in Phase 3. Now at Phase

4 it includes enhanced testing and movement restrictions

introduced from 1 st June 2015. Keepers of breeding herds of

cattle in Scotland must have their herds screened every year

by either check testing to determine BVD exposure or testing

all calves born on the holding for virus. Non-breeding herds

must test all calves born on the holding before they are 40

days old. Farmers are required to test replacement animals

from untested herds; movement restrictions are imposed on

“not negative” herds and there is a ban on knowingly moving

BVDV infected cattle. The scheme currently involves 11,300

herds representing 1.7 million cattle. Approved labs send

results to a national database www.scoteid.com Phase 5 is

being introduced early 2019 with increased pressure on ‘not

negative’ and ‘positive’ herds.

England

BVDFree England

This is a voluntary industry-led scheme aiming to identify and

remove all persistently infected (PI) animals from the English

cattle herd by 2022. The scheme is built around a national

database (www.bvdfree.org.uk) which is searchable for the

BVD status of individual animals and herds tested under the

scheme. Famers must register with BVDFree to enable their

herds’ BVD test results to be uploaded to the database and

there is a small charge for this. Individual animal BVD status can

be found by entering a UK tag number or a herd’s BVD status

can be found using the CPH number. This provides farmers

with recognition, confidence and traceability when buying and

selling BVDFree cattle. CHeCS accredited herds (from all over

the UK) can register and display their BVD herd status for ‘free’

on their database and don’t need to be a member of BVDFree.

An electronic form giving PCHS permission to upload BVD herd

status is available at www.cattlehealth.co.uk/bvdfree

Acceptance of other labs’ results for

BVD tissue tags: We can accept one

year’s worth of tests from another

UKAS accredited lab to count towards

a herd’s accreditation. A signed

declaration from the owner of the

herd and their vet is also required to

confirm the animal’s identity and that

the biosecurity rules have been followed.

Did you know: BVD testing results from

English herds can be uploaded to the

ScotEID database if you are intending to

sell animals into Scotland. Let our lab

know that you want your results to be

added at the time of testing as there is

a charge for adding them retrospectively.

Northern Ireland

BVD Eradication Programme

A voluntary phase started on 1 st January 2013 followed by a

compulsory phase from 1 st March 2016, requiring all calves to

be tested for BVD virus. The eradication scheme is based on

testing ear punch samples for BVD virus using official identity

or management tissue tags. Farmers join the programme by

ordering tissue sample tags from a designated tag supplier.

Permission is obtained from the herd owner to share their herd

data and results for the administration of the programme and

farmers undertake to comply with the programme guidelines.

Calves should be tagged as soon as possible after birth (as

soon as the calf is dry) and not later than 20 days after birth.

All aborted and stillborn calves should be sampled for testing.

For those animals born during the compulsory phase of the

programme, only those testing negative are permitted to move

off the farm to another farm, market or Export Assembly Centre.

All PI calves should be isolated until culled or slaughtered.

Participating farmers can access data recorded for their herd

through the AHWNI database (www.animalhealthni.com)

Following the announcement of DEFRA’s Stamp

Out BVD campaign, SAC Consulting has opened

registration for vet practices across England. This

campaign provides funding for vets to go out on farm

and discuss on a one to one basis the risks of BVD and

undertake some testing to investigate the presence of

the disease within a herd.

Per farm there is funding of £61.80 for check tests,

and in limited circumstances this can open up access

to a further £440 to undertake a PI hunt. This project

sits alongside BVDFree in its aim of getting farmers to

declare their BVD status.

Buying

Guide

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

Although keeping a closed herd is the best way to keep

disease off your farm, this isn’t always possible. Buying

replacements can be a risky business; a healthy looking

animal may be carrying disease. Don’t be afraid to

ask direct questions about an animal’s health status.

One wrong assumption can lead to a crippling disease

outbreak and devastate profits on your farm. Here

are some recommendations for best practice when

purchasing replacement animals:

• Buy replacements (including bulls) from CHeCS

accredited herds

• Check herd status of PCHS

members on our online

members database

• If you are given a certificate

of accredited status check

that the herd is within the

testing date to see if CHeCS

accredited status is still valid

• Isolate purchased stock on

arrival for at least one month.

Purchasing animals through

markets and transportation poses a potential disease risk

so quarantine and test animals before they join the herd

• If you are buying in pregnant animals quarantine them on

arrival and tissue tag the calf for BVD as soon as it is born

before mixing with the rest of the herd

• Try to buy accredited high health status bulls – otherwise

quarantine and test before introducing to the herd

• Screen your herd for disease – when buying animals of

a high health status, it is worth knowing if your own herd

has any disease issues. High health status purchased

stock won’t perform if they are exposed to a heavy

disease burden in their new home. In this situation it is

worth discussing vaccination of incoming stock with your

vet

• Follow the correct biosecurity procedures for transporting

cattle, it is not worth buying a healthy animal only for it to

pick up a disease on the journey home

If purchasing stock of unknown health status:

• Ideally test on the farm of origin before bringing them

home

• If stock are brought home they should be isolated for

at least 28 days from the rest of the herd and tested

according to which diseases your herd is accredited for

• Any animals that test positive for IBR or Leptospirosis

should be removed from the quarantine group and then

test the group again 28 days later. If the group tests

negative they can be introduced to the home herd.

You must decide if you wish to

accredit all stock on the holding or

keep newly acquired stock separated.

If you keep two separate herds you

must be sure to follow biosecurity

guidelines otherwise the accredited

herd will lose its status. Keep hold

of your certification and contact the

PCHS Team at St Boswell’s who will

be able to guide you and your vet on

next steps to registering your herd.

It is also worth considering:

• Planning ahead your purchases for the year, what type of

animals will be bought and what time of year, allowing you

to plan effective quarantine and control measures

• Buying in as few animals as possible. Planning ahead

may allow you to increase numbers or get enough

replacements from your own herd rather than having to

rely on purchasing and adding more risk

• Buying from as few herds as possible. The more

herds you buy from the greater the risk of introducing

disease. Buying 50 cattle from one herd is potentially

a lot lower risk than buying 20 cattle from a number of

different herds. If possible try to buy from the same

herds year after year, allowing you to build a relationship

with the owner and get to know their health status and

management practices.

Johne’s Disease and TB Test

Reminder: There is an interaction

between the skin test for TB and the

blood test for Johne’s disease. Animals

that have been tested for TB by the

skin test are more likely to test

positive for Johne’s disease – avoid

confusion by ensuring that the Johne’s

herd test is not carried out within the

three months following a TB test. For

herds on 60 day testing for TB, testing

should be done as late as possible after

a TB skin test and any reactors will

need to be retested by faecal PCR.

Reminder: If you require a sale card please contact

our office at least two weeks before it is needed (six

weeks if testing is also required). The application form

can be downloaded from our website. Accreditation

certificates are sent out after testing has been

completed and further copies can be requested any time

if needed.

Advantages of being

in the

CHeCS bTB Scheme

Changes announced by Defra in May 2018 - England

• Compensation – from 1 st November 2018, 50%

compensation will be available for animals brought into

a TB breakdown herd which then fail a TB test. This will

mirror what already happens in Wales. However, cattle

keepers registered and participating in CHeCS TB Herd will

continue to receive 100% compensation for compulsorily

slaughtered cattle, provided the herd is accredited (with a

score of 1 or above) at the time of the breakdown

• Six monthly testing – routine surveillance testing for higher

risk herds in the High Risk Area (HRA) will now take place

at six-monthly intervals from 2020, some herds in HRA

will remain on annual testing if: They have not had a TB

breakdown in 6 years; and/or they are CHeCS TB accredited

at level 1 or above

Welsh Government

In July 2017, the Welsh Government announced that a Post

Movement Test will not be needed for animals moving into the

low risk TB Area if they come from herds which are participating

in a CHeCS TB Herd Accreditation Scheme, and have achieved a

score of Level 10.

The CHeCS programme differs from statutory bTB control, for

more information see www.checs.co.uk

and www.tbhub.co.uk

TB Advisory Service

Cattle farmers across the High Risk and Edge Areas of England

are eligible to receive FREE, bespoke advice on practical,

cost-effective measures to reduce the risks associated with

TB. The TB Advisory Service offers one-to-one on-farm advice

visits, where experienced advisors can provide bespoke

recommendations to prevent TB incursions in herds that are

currently clear, whilst discussing trading options and measures to

prevent repeated reinfection for farms that are currently under

TB restrictions. A telephone advice service and ‘drop-in clinics’

are also available for farmers with specific questions about

bovine TB and biosecurity. The project is funded by Defra and

the EU through the Rural Development Programme for England,

and runs until 2020.

To find out more, please contact the TB Advisory Service on

or visit www.tbas.org.uk

Reminder for faecal samples:

All samples should be packaged and

submitted in proper containers rather

than in plastic bags. For the purposes

of the accreditation scheme, all samples

have to be collected by your vet.

IBR reminder: Members of the IBR

accreditation scheme must inform us if

an animal has been marker vaccinated with

IBRgE so we can carry out the correct

test.

Farewell to Dear Friends

Robert Lunness

1942 - 2018

When I joined the British Simmental

Society in 1988 and during my early years

of showing in the 1990s, I soon became

aware of the herd name ‘BRINKTON’, with

it winning at the majority of the main

agricultural shows I visited. The name

‘Melody’ kept arising and it was soon

known that if they (Bob & Jean) were

there with Melody, the question was -

who would come second?

Apparently when starting up with

Simmentals Bob and Jean were mocked by

other breeds/farmers they knew, asking

why they had started in ‘rare breeds’.

Bob’s answer to this was always ‘the

rare breeds’ they referred to became

the ‘Best of all breeds’, something he

continued to champion when he went on

to win the Burke Trophy as a breeder, and

when he was president seeing Valentine

and Sterling Krackerjack being successful,

winning the Burke Trophy again.

Certain animals names go on to become

famous, and within the Simmental Society,

that has to go to Brinkton Melody. She

won everything and then went on to breed

both male and female champions, with

the likes of Bluebelle, Bonzo, Wizard and

many,many more.

The Brinkton herd still has the record of

the most class winners at the Royal Show

with them gaining 6 first prizes in 1993 and

this was when there were over a hundred

Simmentals forward, as well as overall

supreme and reserve champions in both

the male and female championship.

Melody went on to gain Golden Cow

status and when she was paraded before

the crowd at the reduction sale they had in

1994, she was paraded in the sale ring at

the start to Tina Turner’s Simply the Best!

She was described by the auctioneer, Jack

Young as the “best Simmental cow of the

century and certainly of his lifetime”.

The sale went on to produce a record

at the time - 34 females sold to average

£4,082. Over 600 breeders were present to

see the top price of 11,000 guineas being

paid for Bluebelle by Haddon and Lynda

Burditt.

Clearly, as a new breeder, you are in

awe of these people who, at the time you

don’t know, but who go on to become

friends and when judged at a show by Bob

(but always prompted by Jean from the

sidelines) being put up with a baby heifer

called ‘Valentine’ and being told by Jean

that she was special, made my day.

I used to wonder how, when going to

shows, his animals came off the lorry and

almost immediately lay down as if they

had been there for days, while mine stood

and got so tired they almost fell down. On

visiting his farm one day, I found that all

his show cows were tied up as if at a show

and it was just natural for them.

He had big refrigeration units cut out of

a lorry blowing down on the cattle, so they

had coats thicker than anyone else, and

with those coats there was no-one better

than Jean for turning them out.

I attended an early show and phoned

home saying I thought the animal I had

would be third, having seen them in the

pens. We ended up 5th with two brought

out by Bob (after Jean had done her bit)

pushing everyone else down and winning

again.

The name Bob Lunness will always be

known within our breed, but cannot be

mentioned without that of his wife Jean

and the animals which made the herd

name Brinkton so famous within our

breed.

Sadly, less than 8 weeks after Bob

died, Jean also passed away, just before

Christmas.

Clearly we all move on with new names,

animals and herds becoming well known,

however the names of Lunness and

Melody will always be something that

remains special as far as my time in the

breed is concerned

Sleep well my friend, you left without

me getting a chance to say goodbye!!

Hector Macaskill

10.05.48 – 06.01.18

Farewell to Dear Friends

Hector was born in 1948 into a crofting family in Melvaig,

Wester Ross where he grew up with his brother Donald

Iain. Gaelic was the common language and he only

learned English at school in later years. Upon leaving

school at the age of 15, he worked on the family croft

and later as a shepherd on a farm near Gairloch. It was

there that he met his future wife Fiona Cameron and they

married in 1970. Two years later Hector and Fiona moved

to Woodhall farm near Innerwick, they were blessed with

4 daughters – Kirsty, Maj, Rhona and Jenny who helped on

the farm, consisting in the early days of Blackface sheep

and Hereford cross Friesian cattle.

His first association with the Simmental breed was

in 1976 when he purchased a bull from the Perth sales.

After satisfactory results with the progeny, the Woodhall

herd was established and grew to female numbers

well excess of 100. Hector developed a strong passion

and understanding of the genetics and later enjoyed

much success in the show and sale rings. He became a

very reputable breeder, travelling to countries such as

Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Australia and

Denmark and acted in many ways as an ambassador for

the UK. Hector had a terrific gift of remembering cattle

markings and their pedigrees; he was often referred

to as the ‘encyclopaedia’ of the breed. A competent

judge, he is one of a small number to have adjudicated

at the 4 Royals, as well as Premier events in Ireland

and Continental Europe. Many visitors from near and

far have had the

pleasure of Woodhall

hospitality over the

years, including

participants of the

World Congress in

2008. A strong and hardworking

council member for many years, he was rewarded with

the Presidency of the Simmental society in 2008 & 2009, a

position he held with great pride and competence.

Love for his large flock of Blackface sheep often

resulted in prize winning mule ewe lambs, and selling

over 400 in a single day was not uncommon at Stirling

market. It was also at these events where Hector

developed a close friendship with many breeders in the

sheep industry.

Hector passed away on the 6th January 2018, after

a degrading terminal illness, which he bore with great

dignity and fortitude. His quick wit and kind heart will

fondly be remembered by all who knew him well. He

will be sadly missed by many people including his fellow

breeders, good neighbours and friends but especially his

wife Fiona, daughters, sons in law and grandchildren, all

of which he was extremely proud.

On a personal note, I must say that after a lasting

relationship for over 30 years I have lost a special friend

and gentleman.

Charles Bruce

16/11/1927 - 30/8/2018

Chick was born and brought up at

Newtonmill, a dairy farm in Angus

with a bottling and doorstep delivery

business. Son of a farmer and WW1

veteran, he was the third generation

Bruce to make a living from the farm.

He lived and worked there till 1964

when he upped sticks and relocated

to Bemersyde Farm in the Scottish

Borders, where he set up a pedigree

herd of Ruby Red North Devon cattle.

Many championship rosettes followed from Exeter to

Perth, along with five supreme championships at the

RHASS Highland Show.

A new challenge followed in 1976 when he joined in

the importation of Simmental heifers from Switzerland,

taking 4 of the consignment back to Bemersyde. He

gradually built up the herd, winning championships at

both Perth and Carlisle bull sales along the way, and

producing many sires for both pedigree

breeders and commercial herds alike.

He was chairman of both Brechin

and Angus Federation of Young

Farmers. He chaired the Borders Crop

and Grassland Society and the local

NFU. In his youth he was a professional

sprinter, heavyweight Highland Games

competitor, and was also a keen curler

all his life.

He was a passionate and lifelong

stocksman and pedigree cattle breeder, always fun

loving with a twinkle in his eye. He will be sorely missed

by his wife Moira, sons Malcolm, Gordon and Stuart,

daughter in law Gillian and grandchildren Nicola, Grant,

Rebecca and Zoe, and by the many close friends and

acquaintances he made over the years.

Au revoir Chick.

Farewell to Dear Friends

Paull Borlase

1943 – 2018

My father Paull was born on the 22nd July 1943 in Hertford

and lived for the first 72 years of his life at both Sacombe

Hill Farm and Perrywood Farm on the Woodhall Estate,

where he farmed firstly with his Grandfather, then in

partnership with his parents, Bert & Betty Borlase before

their passing.

Paull firstly attended Heath Mount School based on

the Woodhall Estate then Lancing College in West Sussex

before he finished his studies at Moulton Agricultural

College in Northamptonshire and returned home to the

family farm. At the age of 8 he was struck down with

tetanus and spent 8 weeks in a coma before having

to learn to walk again. Paull became an accomplished

sportsman, particularly as a mile runner, and he competed

against the likes of Roger Bannister at the White City

Stadium following on to play rugby for the Royston Crows

for many years.

In 1968 after a very short courtship with Judy he asked

her father if he could marry Judy and when later that day,

he took her by complete surprise by saying to her that

he had asked her father for her hand in marriage, her

comment was, ‘and what did he say?’. Without hesitation

my father recited my Grandfather’s comment ‘The Best of

Bloody Luck to you’. Paull and Judy were married on the

4th December 1968 and so very nearly got to their Golden

Wedding anniversary but sadly it was not to be. William

was born in 1969 and I followed in 1975 and our father

was always immensely supportive of us and very proud

of what we had both achieved and he became the best

Grandfather our children could ever have had, referring

to his Grandchildren, Ben, Samuel and Scarlett as his little

angels.

On the 4th July 1970 Paull and his parents had the

foresight to establish the Sacombe Simmental Herd and

became founding members of The British Simmental

Cattle Society, his one wish was to see the herd attain its

50th Anniversary which we will proudly do in 2020. He

loved his cattle and particularly loved the summer shows.

Never one to seek the limelight, he often let others do the

showing, but he loved nothing more than grabbing the

muck fork or a comb and chatting to all the show goers,

inviting numerous people from home and abroad to come

and view the herd on the farm and in the process signing

up many new members for the breed - he was very much a

people’s person.

Paull achieved many highlights over his 48 years in

the Simmental breed including winning the Supreme

Championship at Perth Bull Sales on two occasions with

Sacombe Edgar and Sacombe Wishful Thinking, Supreme

and Interbreed Champion at The Royal Show with Sacombe

Shamus, Supreme Champion at the Royal Highland with

Sacombe Bernard and Supreme Champion at The Royal

Welsh on two occasions, firstly with Sacombe Balmoral and

this year just a

week before his

passing with

Sterling Petra’s

Cairo which

he was able to

watch on TV.

Without a doubt

though, the

highlight of his

farming career

as he saw it was

winning the

coveted Burke

Trophy in 2012

with Perrywood

Wispa and Clonagh World Class.

A naturally gifted engineer, Paull could turn his hand

to anything in a workshop and it was often joked how he

could have appeared on Scrap Heap Challenge such was

his ability to turn tired old metal into something useful and

this skill came to the fore throughout his farming life.

Paull took the very bold decision at the age of 72 to

purchase a new farm in Shropshire, and on the 30th

September 2015 together with Judy they moved to

Batchcott Hall Farm, which he described as having moved

to God’s Country. He promptly set about trying to promote

the attributes of Simmentals to the locals and establishing

an 800-ewe flock to run on the farm alongside the portion

of the Sacombe herd he had taken with him and he

immensely enjoyed the new friendships he promptly made

in the local area.

16 years ago, my father was diagnosed with Primary

Sclerosing Cholangitis, a liver disease which was

untreatable, and specialists knew very little about. Knowing

he couldn’t be cured he enrolled himself to be a guinea pig

so in the future he can hopefully help others. It was just

three weeks from him being diagnosed with cancer to his

passing, it was so aggressive it took everyone by surprise.

Throughout he never failed to thank the medical staff and

always told them how brilliant they were, his care from

them was fantastic.

Farming was Paull’s life, his passion and his pleasure

and no aspect more so than his beloved Simmental herd.

His enthusiasm for farming and Simmentals was infectious

and plain for all to see.

My Mother, William and I would like to thank everyone

who has shown our family so much support and kindness

through this difficult time, we have lost a loving husband,

supportive father and loving grandfather and a best friend

to many. We are all the richer for having had him in our

lives.

Joe Mee

19/08/1933 - 29/10/2018

Farewell to Dear Friends

Joe Mee, founder of the Lancelot herd, died on 29th

October 2018 after a long and courageous battle with

cancer. He was a loving husband, dad and granddad, and a

true gentleman, who will be greatly missed by his wife Jill,

children Oliver and Georgina and four grandchildren, and

also by those of us who showed cattle alongside him.

There were several tributes at his funeral, the first from

his friend Chris White, who spoke about his love of cattle

and showing:

Many of you know that I wasn’t family, but Joe and Jill

always made me feel like I was. I started to go up to Joe

and Jill’s at the age of eleven to help out, and later to work.

I look back now and think how patient Joe must have been.

I was not from a farming background – a city lad from

Sheffield – and have never thought about being a farmer.

The patience, time and understanding that Joe spent

teaching me led me to my career in farming, doing what I

love the most. I couldn’t have had a better tutor.

Joe loved his showing, and would always like to pick his

show team in January to start halter breaking and getting

them ready. His one aim was to beat Mr Donnelly, and

he achieved this with Harriet leading a home bred heifer

in 2016 at Ashbourne Show. Joe’s face was a picture, he

couldn’t stop smiling and said he was happy now, he’d

done what he set out to do.

The second tribute was from Harriet Thomas-Mee, Joe’s

granddaughter.

I would like to say a few words from Dada’s 4

grandchildren, Charlie, Josh, Ruby and myself. Dada has

always been there for us, helping and encouraging us with

our hobbies. For Ruby, he gave her advice and helped to

raise many orphan lambs; with Josh he had lots of good

times watching and chatting about football. With Charlie,

and the help of Dada’s dear friend Geoff, they restored an

old Petter engine. Dada shared his love of Simmental cattle

with me, as well as always encouraging me with my degree.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday after school he would be

waiting for us on the quadbike at the bottom of the lane

to give us a lift up to the farm. We all loved this but mum

wasn’t so keen on the soggy trousers on wet days! We have

so many great memories with Dada and are very lucky to

have lived so close to him and been able to spend lots of

time together.

There was always a job to be done, his favourite

summer job was to get us painting. He was very patient

as we got the paint on everything other than whatever we

were meant to be painting! The favourite winter job was

definitely mucking out the cows at the weekends, this we

got quite good at…

We have all spent a lot of hours growing up around

animals and riding on tractors with him. He was a great

role model and I aim to be as strong, kind and honest as

him. You stand forever in our hearts, the best Dada we

could have ever asked for, we will always look up to you

and miss you very much.

Centre West Club

Chairman’s Report by Mark Sallis

Our annual AGM and quiz night was once again held

at Stratford cattle market albeit a little later in the

year than usual due to the weather in February,

prompting a postponement until March. This delay did

reduce the numbers slightly as many were now calving

and/or lambing, however an enjoyable night was had by all

that attended.

The AGM saw the following appointments for 2018

Chairman – Mark Sallis

Vice-Chairman – David Savins

Treasurer – John Fellows

Secretary – Amy Cox

It was very pleasing to see club members taking three

of the top four prices at the Worcester sale in May.

Congratulations to C.H Evans & Son on selling Wroxall

Happy Chappy, for the day’s top price of 5000 guineas, to

fellow club members C.M Mercer, for use in the Bowley

herd. Other notable prices were achieved by John Rixon

(Lopemede) and James Shouler (Alchester). The sale

at Worcester in May continues to go from strength to

strength and I anticipate the additional Autumn sale at

Worcester in 2019 will be equally as successful.

Unfortunately, the show season was very quiet for

club members this year. We have seen the dispersal of a

number of great herds who were very active on the show

circuit over the last couple of years, and other members

have elected to stay at home this year for a variety of

reasons. Hopefully next year will see us out in force.

Our annual Herd Competition was admirably judged

in September by Noah Hoskins, supported by our very

own Rob Hewlett, and we thank them both for generously

donating their time.

members were joined by family and friends to

enjoy a convivial meal. The amusing game of Irish Bingo

was won by Robert Bowden with the club secretary just

losing out.

February saw Sowenna acquiring Strathisla Humble’s

Harriet from the one-off draft sale of Islavale Donald’s

heifers at Stirling Bull Sales, marking the celebration of

forty years of the Ivory family breeding Simmentals. Harriet

has subsequently produced a heifer calf by Woodhall

Ferrari in August 2018.

In May, Cornwall Club members supported the

Worcester Society sale offering a selection of bulls

and females. Entries included cattle from Sowenna,

Killiworgie, Chegwidden (draft of Chegwidden Alfie sired

females) and Bosahan (Reserve Male Champion and Top

price heifer).

Our annual challenge against the South Devon club

usually takes place in March, however unfortunately this

did not work out this year. A repeat is planned for 2019.

April featured the second Cornwall Club Sale at Exeter

market where, in common with other spring sales,

entries forward were disappointing. However, warm

congratulations to Gethin and Enfys Lloyd who made the

long journey from Wales and successfully sold Crugmelyn

Elvis to Malcom Coumbe’s Housey herd at Liskeard.

Two weeks later Killiworgie and Treverbyn herds took

the honours at Devon County Show with Killiworgie Grace’s

Camelia taking the Female Championship and Overall with

Ant Hart heading the males with Skylark Geronimo.

During the first week of June, attention is centred

on our County Show at Wadebridge. This year John

Moore (Omorga, Northern Ireland) took on the task

of judging the eight classes, respective specials and

championships. Local breeders with entries forward

included Sowenna, Kurlycoat, Chegwidden, Killiworgie,

Pennytinney,Treverbyn and Bosahan. Sowenna emerged

as Female and Overall Champion with their first calf heifer

Sowenna Galaxy - (Sowenna Tamar x Celtic Betty), while

her August 17 daughter Sowenna Iola by Castlegale Eric

lifted the Junior Championship. The Skerrington Armada

sired Bosahan Harmony Whitney headed the two-yearold

heifer line up and stood Reserve Female Champion.

Killiworgie took the Male Championship with their new

stock bull, the Sterling Flint sired Lynfield Hamish, and Viv

Hall stood reserve with her home-bred April 17 youngster

Chegwidden Impecibull by Chegwidden Fergal Gallant.

Other class winners were Sowenna Ivor, Killiworgie Grace’s

Camelia and Sowenna Henrietta’s Ivy. Megan Wellington

(Pennytinney) with her new stock bull Sowenna Illuminate

was second in the Beef Young Handlers Senior class and

went on to be Reserve Champion in the beef section.

The British Simmental section also featured in the

Interbreed honours with the senior pairing of Lynfield

Hamish and Killiworgie Grace’s Camelia standing in the

reserve spot to the Charolais team. While the junior pair

of Chegwidden Impecibull and Sowenna Henrietta’s Ivy

took third in a strong line-up and Sowenna Galaxy did

well to be tapped out in the final line up for the Supreme

Championship against mature opposition. Impecibull was

third in the Interbreed Nare Hotel Best Beef Bull, born on

or after 1 st January 2016 - a brilliant result for his age.

Hayley and Bosahan Harmony Whitney stood Reserve in

the Interbreed best pair of uncalved heifers and Killiworgie

Grace’s Camelia, Bosahan Husky Angelika and Wellatree

of five females for the Harry Cock Challenge Trophy and

completed the treble of Interbreed Reserves to the South

A big appreciation to all club members who have

exhibited their cattle at the one day shows throughout

the summer and flown the Simmental flag, especially

in the mixed beef breed classes. Ant Hart (Treverbyn)

KILLIWORGIE OPEN DAY

After days and days of endless sunshine, it was a huge

disappointment that the heavens opened at the end

of August for Killiworgie’s open day celebrating twenty

years of breeding Simmentals. Nevertheless, around forty

visitors were welcomed by Steve and Gill Gummow and

family for a tour of the herd, followed by a hog roast and

plentiful refreshments. Despite the inclement weather, the

quality of their cattle shone through providing a thoroughly

enjoyable social afternoon to celebrate an important

milestone in their history. Killiworgie started with six cows

from the Pencarrow dispersal. Among the additions from

society sales and private purchasers, a special mention

should go to Boarshead Grace 4 th , Lakeside Warrior

and Ballinalare Farm Buttercup 2 nd for their impact on

improving the stock. Buttercup’s first calf Killiworgie

Emperor by Auchorachan Wizard not only has an enviable

show record but is leaving daughters with a consistent

stamp. The Gummows eagerly await the opening of their

next chapter with Lynfield Hamish progeny due in 2019.

Congratulations to Steve Gummow on being added to

the Society’s judging panel.

CORNWALL SIMMENTAL CLUB COMMERCIAL

OPEN DAY 2018 – SUNDAY 9 TH SEPTEMBER

Beef cattle breeders from St Buryan to Bude attended

the seventh commercial open day organised by Cornwall

Simmental Club. Warmly welcomed by Phil and Lesley

Martyn-Uglow at Hornacott Farm, Boyton, Launceston, the

event was sponsored by the British Simmental Society.

The farm tour was preceded by a talk given by Philip

Warren of Warren Butchers, who emphasised the

importance of producing meat to meet the changing

trends of both today’s and future buyer’s needs, which

are underpinned by a growing awareness of welfare

and health concerns for sentient beings. The discerning

customer was prepared to pay for quality over quantity

and he went on to highlight the value of the British

Simmental, making the following points:

• Breeders should promote the benefits of hybrid

vigour offered by Simmental terminal sires when

used across native breeds, thereby improving the

gene pool of milky dams capable of raising early

finishing grass fed progeny

• The eating quality of meat is globally recognised as

being influenced by maternal genetics. Breeders

will be rewarded in the future for a consistent,

premium product already sought by leading chefs in

the restaurants across England which his business

sources for them

He concluded by urging breeders to consider the size of

the cattle they are aiming for as bigger is not better for the

cuts of meat his customers prefer.

www.britishsimmental.co.uk 075


REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

The visit continued in wonderful sunshine as ninety

suckler cows and their progeny were viewed. Phil Martyn-

Uglow explained the successful changes in breeding policy

the family had made by crossing both Simmental and

Charolais sires on a range of native breeds, and putting the

retained breeding females back to a Simmental bull.

A group of Simmental cross heifers due to calve at

twenty-two to twenty-four months old typified the stamp of

cattle desired. Mothering

ability coupled with the

renowned docility and

fertility of the Simmental

breed have justified the

decisions made.

Robust suckled calves

due to be weaned will fulfil

the desired specifications

outlined by the guest

Philip Warren

speaker.

CLUB TRIP

September also featured the annual club trip which this

year saw Cornwall & South West Club members heading

for the borders with hurricane Ali on their tail, and staying

in the lovely Powfoot Hotel on the shores of Solway Firth.

Despite the unsettled weather, we were made welcome

by the Chestermann, Newbiemains, Manor Park, and

Bavington herds. We also visited the lairage facilities run by

Andrew and Alieen Ewing, Annandale whisky distillery and

the market town of Hexham.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

East Anglian Simmental Club

Report by Hayley Clarke – Secretary

Another twelve months have gone and here I am

again writing a report for the Annual Review.

Firstly, I would like to thank all our members for

their support throughout the year, it is also great news that

numbers are growing in our club and this is good news for

the breed.

We had three weddings in the club, Chris & Zara Curson:

Hollybrook Herd, James & Kelly Brice: Rendham Herd &

Dennis Mitchell & Eliandro Felipeto - we wish them all the

best for the future.

Newark sale saw a top price of 3400gns for the bulls and

3800gns for the females. There were buyers for the cattle,

so we must try and improve our overall standard.

The show season seemed to go by in a flash, a lot of

the shows have now dropped breed classes which shows

a sign of the times with costs and people being worried

about their cattle picking up diseases.

Suffolk has breed classes, but this year was the lowest

it has seen with exhibitors forward. Lesley & David Sapsed

won with Heathbrow Gypsy Rose. Royal Norfolk was well

supported, Heathbrow herd won again - this time with

Heathbrow Girlie’s Ivy.

A few of us took the trip to the National Show at Great

Yorkshire, with all of us picking up rosettes. It was great to

see Simon back in the ring, we agreed Dad would be very

proud of what he has achieved. To great delight Paul and

Linda were awarded with a prize at the dinner for Fircovert

Cecilia, she has been to seven national shows!!

Once again, we took the long drive to the Royal Welsh

Show, much to our surprise numbers were not that good

either, we picked up Junior Male Champion with Williams

Invincible.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

Wayland show numbers are increasing; there were no

breed classes but for the time of year, this show is doing

well - well done Granger. Paul & Linda Gunther won the

last show of the season with Fircovert Cecilia at Aylsham,

well done to them both.

A big thank you to the judges who travelled to the shows

as I know it can be hard & frustrating only judging a few in

a class.

Penny Lally, along with her right hand lady Ann Jukes,

took time out to judge our herd competition this year,

several miles got travelled and thank you for the results:

For his enthusiasm for the breed and plans for the future of their herd

As most of you know, the National Simmental Show will

be held at the Royal Norfolk Show in 2019. This is one of

the best in the country. They will not limit you on stalls,

but I advise you to book early, you can always cancel some

stalls if you have overbooked - Holly will refund you. You

will also get money back for every animal forward.

If you have any questions, you can get in contact with

Holly at the Norfolk show. I can also help if you want to

speak to me, I also know of some great accomodation

close to the show ground, but I would advise you to book

early, some of them are only 10 minutes away and you

don’t have to go into the city!

Finally, most of all, I would like to wish all the Simmental

breeders success, good luck and a healthy 2019.

March saw us welcoming Alan Hughes from Farming

Solutions Ltd, who gave us a very informative talk on how

to protect our farms, and indeed cattle, from badgers. It

really was enlightening and again well supported.

The summer shows have been well attended as always

with club members enjoying success at all levels. Mentions

must go to David and Susan Donnelly and Richard and

Louise Storer Smith on a successful show season with

plenty of championships and reserve championships

between them. Also, to Jimmy and Vikki Wood and family

winning the National Show with Popes Rhona. We continue

to be strongly represented at shows which is really

encouraging, as it is a great shop window for our breed.

Our herd competition was judged this year by John

Rixon, ably assisted by his partner Shona. The extended

summer hopefully made this an enjoyable experience for

them and we thank them both for giving up their time

especially during a busy period. Ours is quite a large area

The herd competition

results presentation took

place by kind invitation

of David and Christine

Loftus at the home of

the Blackpool herd.

We enjoyed a lovely

afternoon, saw some

wonderful cattle and their

Maize Maze. Thank you

to David and Christine for

your hospitality, it was

much appreciated.

Harriet Thomas Mee

and Judge John Rixon

Farm. What a treat! A super herd of Simmentals with the

added advantage of having a walk around the beautiful

thoroughbred mares and foals. Once more, thank you for

having us - we had a fantastic morning.

The calf shows were well represented this year

Congratulations go to Richard and Louise Storer Smith on

their wins at Agri Expo and the English Winter Fair.

The year ended with the English Winter Fair, manned

as always by Mandy and Kath with help from Andrea, Sally

and Christine. Thank you to all for your hard work, it is

much appreciated and thank you too for all the delicious

cakes, we are so lucky to have so many talented bakers in

our midst!

We rounded off with our AGM, always a nice end to the

year as we have a good turnout and get chance to catchup

with our members old and new.

Christine & David Loftus with Rob Fitton

Later in September some of us joined up with the South

East group and travelled to Ireland. We had a lovely visit to

Peter and Marion O’Connell’s Raceview herd in Mallow. The

weather was kind and we were treated to a lovely lunch.

Thank you to you both for your great hospitality. We then

travelled North to visit the Clonagh herd of Garrett and

Lyndsey Behan. We had a lovely evening walk around their

impressive herd and saw some lovely cattle - some of them

I am sure we will see a lot more of in the future. We were

again very well fed and watered and would like to thank

the Behan’s for their hospitality.

Saturday morning dawned, and it was as wet as it could

have been for our visit to Strokestown to the National

Simmental calf finals. We were treated to a great display

of cattle once more, and had a lovely day despite the

weather.

Our final visit was to the Ballybane herd and Stud

On a sad note, we lost a valued member of our club

this year, Mr Joe Mee lost his battle in October. He was a

long-standing member who will be sorely missed, and our

sympathies go to his wife Jillian and family.

I would like to thank Robert for his support as Vice

Chairman and to Mandy for her tireless work as secretary -

we would be lost without her. Thanks also go to Bill Turrell,

our long-standing treasurer. Thank you for the huge

amount of time you all dedicate to the smooth running of

the club.

Finally, although we are living in uncertain times our

breed continues to go from strength to strength. Long may

that continue.

I would like to wish all members and Simmental

breeders a happy and successful 2019.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

North East Club

Report by Jayne Pick - Secretary

The Club has had a reasonably quiet 2018. It was

a special year given the fact the National Show

was held at the Great Yorkshire Show, Harrogate,

a relative home match for a lot of NE Members! Well

done to Vikki, Jimmy, Harry and Hannah Wood who took

the Championship with their heifer ‘Popes Rhona’. All

exhibitors should be extremely proud of the quality of

cattle they brought out at the show, and whether you

were near the top or further down the line you should be

congratulated.

Pictured to the right Reserve Champion Grangewood Heston & Andrew Leedham

The year started with our AGM at Scarthingwell. A good

number of members came for Sunday lunch and various

ideas were put forward for visits. Unfortunately, with this

year’s weather being so challenging no one could commit

to a possible 2-day visit.

Newark Show & Sale in March brought success for

Andrew & Yvonne Leedham and John, Val and Craig

Hollingsworth. ‘Grangewood Heston 16’ a ‘Grangewood

Damascus 12’ son was awarded Reserve Champion for

Andrew & Yvonne before selling for 3300gns. ‘Midhope

Glamorous’ achieved Reserve Female Champion for John,

Val and Craig before being sold to CR Fovargue Bros,

Leicester for 2600gns.

The Leading Ladies Show & Sale at Carlisle in April saw

the top two spots being taken by Club members. John,

Val and Craig Hollingsworth took the Championship with

‘Midhope Holy Light’ selling for 5000gns to Mr Grant

(Dellfield). Andrew & Ruth Steele were awarded the

Reserve Champion with ‘Weeton Crocus’s Hyacinth’, the

‘Ashland Brandy‘ daughter later being sold for 2600gns.

Well done to Katie Steele who prepared and showed

Hyacinth at the sale.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

Lincoln show in June brought success for the

Hollingsworth & Steele families. John, Val and Craig

collected two seconds with their heifers ‘Midhope Heavenly

Light’ and ‘Midhope I-Light’. Ian & Margaret were awarded a

4th place with their heifer ‘Blakewell Wallflowers Hyacinth’.

The heifers were out again at the Great Yorkshire show

where competition was fierce. They gained a second,

fourth and third respectively. A special mention to

Emma Steele who showed her grandparents’ heifer so

professionally.

The Club’s biennial Herd Competition was judged on

the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd September. Mr John

Barlow, Leyland, Lancashire was kind enough to judge the

9 herds that had entered. Results were announced at our

Annual Dinner which was held at a new venue, The Bridge,

Walshford near Wetherby on Saturday 17th November.

The Club is indebted to John for giving up his weekend to

view the herds, also thank you to Ellis for accompanying

him and helping to navigate around some very unfamiliar

countryside! The results are printed below, many

congratulations to all who entered.

2018 has brought with it many challenges; the erratic

weather resulting in increased feed costs due to shortage

of fodder and unfortunately still the uncertainties

circulating around Brexit. We all now look forward to the

New Year with the optimism that is necessary for a life

involved in any aspect of the farming industry.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

North West Simmental Club

Report by Sarah Ford - Secretary

Another year woosh!

Our club year started with the AGM in February

held at the Auctioneer, Carlisle, where new club

officers and committee were elected. Juliet Sanders

stepped down as chairman having done her two- year

stint, we all very much appreciated Juliet’s hard work. Alan

Tallentire took over. Winter this year was interesting to say

the least with “the beast from the east” doing its best to kill

us, making many of us question what we are doing!!!

The Carlisle Spring sale which included the Leading

Ladies was held on the 20th April and was judged by

Stewart Stronach Jr of Maisley, Keith, Banffshire. We had a

pre-supper sale at the Auctioneer where we held a raffle

raising £90.

At last the weather improved and treated us to a

fabulous summer. Clive Houldey and family very kindly

invited us to join the farm walk they were holding for the

Scottish club. Unfortunately, only a handful of members

made it, but we were very grateful to be asked to enjoy

Manor Park’s lovely cattle and hospitality.

On Sunday 16th September we had our farm walk

and a fabulous day it was too. We started at Mr Pearson

at Blencow, Penrith. This is one of the herds from

which we source the cattle that grace the stand at Agri

Expo. He runs around 120 cows all Simmental x Blue or

Simmental x Limousin covering them with a Simmental,

Blue or Limousin bull. The bull calves are fattened and

sold deadweight, some of the heifers will be kept as herd

replacement the others sold for breeding or fattened. We

then went onto John Piele’s at Greystoke where we had a

lovely lunch. John runs a 200 plus herd of cows all of which

are commercial crosses. He buys Simmental x blue heifers

from Irvine Pearson, which are bulled with a Limousin as

heifers, then a Charolais bull thereafter. Calves are sold

off the cow as weaned suckler calves. Alongside the cattle

he runs a flock of Swaledale sheep, some of which are

bred pure, others producing Mule lambs, as well as a flock

of Texel crosses. We found it extremely interesting to go

around commercial farms, seeing the Simmental used for

different purposes. We were looked after extremely well,

and a great day was had by all. A huge thank you to both

families.

Agri Expo was another outstanding success for the

Simmental Society with tremendous cattle on the stand

with a selection of pure bred Simmentals from Ian

Willison’s monitor farm, pedigree bulls from Newbiemains

and two Simmental x cows with Belgian Blue calves at

foot sourced from Irvine Pearson. These proved to be a

real showstopper. The stand was busy as usual with club

members spending a very busy day making lots cups of tea

to go with lovely sandwiches and cakes. A good show of

calves was very ably judged

by Laura Green. Thank

you Laura. The Overall

Champion was Storersmith

Isla; a great day was had

by all with many of our

generous sponsors being

there to present the prizes.

Cattle Breeders Club

Chairman’s Report by Conrad Fegan

It was a great honour to be elected as chairman of the

Northern Ireland Simmental Breeders Club. I hope to

follow on from previous chairpersons and promote the

breed as best I can alongside the elected committee.

We started the year with the Pedigree Calf Fair held

at Balmoral Showgrounds, Belfast. The judge on the day

was Douglas Barr from Scotland. There was great quality

stock on show with Leslie and Christopher Weatherup

taking the Senior and Reserve Senior Championship with

Lisglass Helena and Lisglass Honey. Taking the Junior

Championship was Adrian Richardson, Maguiresbridge

with Cleenagh Ivy. Reserve Junior was Ballinlare Farm

Isabella bred by Joe Wilson and sons, Newry.

and the winners of the year’s shows and sales collected

their awards. We thanked all our sponsors and members

for their generosity throughout the year.

February saw the first sale of the year with some

Northern Ireland breeders taking the long trip to

up numerous prizes throughout the year including the

2018 Danske Bank Female of the Year. Females peaked

at 2,200gns for Andrew and Zara Clarke’s second prize

went on to make 3,400gns. Next best was Cleenagh Gabby

who made 3,000 gns. Three cow and calf outfits averaged

with Drumacritten Ian making 11,000gns. Next best at

8,500gns was Ranfurly Impeccable from David and Jonny

Shane and Paul McDonald from Tempo averaged £3,675

for 2 bulls. Topping their entry at 4,500gns was Coolcran

Instagram. Robin Boyd from Portglenone averaged £3,937

for 2 bulls. His best was 4,500gns for Slievenagh Ike. Also

came under the hammer at 4,200gns for Keith and Andrea

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

Scottish Simmental Club

Report by Richard Pettit - Secretary

Club Members have had a successful year with Shows,

and despite the driest summer for years, with many

short of grass and winter fodder prices - averages were up

for bulls in October at Stirling bull sales.

We started the year on a sad note hearing of the loss of

one of the Club’s stalwarts, Hector Macaskill, who served as

Club Chairman from 1989 to 1991.

FEBRUARY SALE

The two top prices were both from the Stronachs; the top

price of 24,000gns for Reserve Champion Islavale Heston,

who sold to Richard McCulloch, and Islavale Harvest, sold to

the Kilbride Farm herd for 16,000gns. They were also Overall

Champion with Islavale Hugo, with 12 of their 13 bulls sold, to

average an impressive £8,321.

The Intermediate Champion Camus Harold, from Northern

Irish breeders Harold Stubbs and Alan Burleigh sold to Vikki

Wood at 12,000gns for her Popes herd.

Kilbride Farm Haka, from the Robsons was next selling

to Iain Green for 10,000gns.

The pre-sale show judge, Anne MacPherson sold

Blackford Hurricane, for 9000gns to Bridget Borlase.

Other leading prices included 8,000gns for Woodhall

Hugh, from the late Hector Macaskill, he sold to Delfur

Farms.

The Reserve Intermediate Champion – Pitmudie

Houston from Heather Duff, sold for 7,800gns.

An 82% clearance rate was achieved with 116 bulls

selling to average £5,477.

In the female sale a top price of 6,800gns was paid

for an in-calf heifer from Adrian Ivory, April-2016 born

Strathisla Honesty’s Twiggy, selling to Harte Peat Ltd,

Ireland.

The Reserve Female Champion sold for 4,000gns. This

was yearling heifer Newbiemains I’m Brilliant, from Jim and

Patricia Goldie.

KNOCKNAGAEL BULL STUD

In March the Scottish Club visited Knocknagael Bull Stud,

by kind permission of The Scottish Government.

John Cowan gave us all a very informative tour of the stud

and its work, providing bulls to hire to crofters in the crofting

areas of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. All breeds were

represented, with the most popular being Limousins, with

Simmentals being the third most popular with around 20 in

the current stud.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

South East Club

Could this be the next Frankel

Report by Chris Patmore - Chairman

I

would like to open this report on a rather sombre note.

Our annual AGM was held on 29th April at Tony and

Ann Jukes farm in Kent. It was probably the last occasion

that most of us were in the company of Paull Borlase who

passed away at the end of July. A substantial lunch was

provided by Ann and her merry band of helpers which we

consumed after our meeting.

A memorial service was held at Sacombe in mid-

September followed by a superb lunch provided by Judy

and Bridget at the farm.

In early September, Ann organised a three-day trip

to Southern Ireland. We visited the Raceview and

Clonagh herds and saw tremendous cattle knee deep

in luscious grass which we in the South of England have

been desperately short of this year. Having been fed

and watered at both farms on the Friday it could have

been shades of the Vicar of Dibley where she ate three

Christmas dinners, but luckily, we cancelled the evening

meal at the hotel we were staying at. Accommodation was

provided by the Bloomfield House Hotel owned by John

Connaughton of Bally Bane who also provided the venue

for our Sunday visit. A farm to die for, race horses and

Simmental cattle in an exquisite environment with hardly a

blade of grass out of place.

On the Saturday we attended a show at Strokestown.

Although a trifle damp for most of the day, we thoroughly

enjoyed ourselves and it was a breath of fresh air to see so

many youngsters so enthusiastic about showing.

With the Simmental Group, South East

To meet some super Irish Breeders

And admire each Simmental beast

Mrs Jukes was in charge, quite new to her role

And sometimes felt things a bit sticky

Hurrying the chattering party along

To the next farm was quite tricky!

Her worry, pre arranged ‘Dinner at Eight’

At the Hotel where we were to stay

Our first Race View visit took longer than

planned

The Hotel at least two hours away

We were still to see the Clonagh sizable herd

Mrs Jukes rang the hotel to explain

At Garrett’s we saw super cows and young stock

And enjoyed great hospitality again

We sat around chatting as the clock ticked on by

Ireland

Thoughts of Dinner went down with the sun

We eventually left and drove back to our base

Some went out , some, Dinner.. there was none !

Next day after breakfast to Strokestown we sped

Arriving with excitement and glee

A fantastic show with many wonderful calves

An amazing spectacle to see

With families and friends and a flurry of soap

Intense combing and prep everywhere

One animal tied to a branch of a tree!

Sound of generators filling the air

The competitive spirit was not dampened by rain

That eventually rendered us all rather soaked

Champions were crowned to their supporters

delight

As always, some disappointed felt a bit choked

Uncomfortably damp, to we returned our hotel

Having had a most enjoyable day

Next day, off to Dublin for all to fly home

With Ballybane Herd visit on the way

As we drove through the beautiful gates

And up to an immaculate yard

We knew we were in for a treat

To be completely impressed was no hard

Not only cattle, a picture in the Parkland sun

But thoroughbred mares, what a treat

With their beautiful foals so incredibly tame

Quite endearing, not a kick or a bite

We reluctantly left, to airport we drove

All going our own separate ways

With wonderful memories of our Irish friends

Thanks to all, lovely trip, happy days.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

South West Club

Report by Dawn Shapland - Secretary

The heaviest snow for several years, a record-breaking

heatwave and then a storm called Bronagh brought

about rather a quiet year for our Club.

As usual, on the third Monday in January, we had a

Simmental team entered in the area’s Interbreed Quiz.

A slight change to the usual lineup, Adrian Curry, Kath

Edwards, myself and this year’s “secret weapon” Steve

Shapland. With Quizmaster Tony Walker setting the

questions, we eventually finished a highly creditable

second to the young ladies in the British Blues team.

Due to the most significant snowfall in recent years,

the A.G.M was postponed from March 5th. Three weeks

later the clocks had changed to British Summertime and

we were rewarded with magnificent views of our venue,

the Oake Manor Golf Club. Another quiz, (famous farmers)

provided the evening’s entertainment. Victorious were

“The Auctioneers” a team comprising of Clive Roads, Chris

Clapham and David Barker.

At the meeting we all had the opportunity to view

approximately 30 years-worth of Simmental Sale

catalogues, Perth, Stirling, Carlisle, Bristol, Worcester etc,

and copies of a Society publication from 1995 “SIMMENTAL

Its first 25 Years in the United Kingdom”. These items have

all been very generously donated to the Club by Mr and

Mrs David and Christina Mills.

The pre-sale show at Worcester was judged this year by

Craig Hollingsworth (Midhope Herd). He awarded Female

and Overall Champion to Mr Beynon’s splendid cow,

Gwili Gwenan. She sold for 3600 guineas, with her heifer

calf Gwili Jenny, at foot. Richard and Debbie Cumming’s

Cwarre Hanukkah was the Champion Male. Reserve Male

was given to Bosahan Hendra from John and Bridget Olds.

Vendors achieved an excellent clearance with only two

animals not selling through the sales ring!

Thank you to all our sponsors: Mole Valley Farmers,

Shearwell Data, For Farmers, Crediton Milling, ABP

Langport, Torch Farm Vets and the Winford, Lopemede and

Bosahan Herds.

Male Champion Bosahan Hendra at the Worcester Sale

At the Devon County Show in May, there was a lastminute

change of judge to former club Chairman, John

May (Priorton Herd). Female and Overall Champion was a

wonderful cow from Cornwall, the Gummow’s Killiworgie

Grace’s Camelia. Reserve Overall was awarded to our

present Chairman’s heifer, Winford Vogue 11th . Champion

Male was another animal from Cornwall, Skylark Geronimo

owned by Anthony Hart.

The Royal Bath and West Show had a good number of

entries. The Blomfield family’s Sway Gorgeous Girl was

judged to be Overall Champion by James Arnold. Steve,

Lorrayne and Emma also had their young bull Sway

Harlequin, awarded Champion Male and Overall Reserve.

Club member, Laura French and her father, Roger Darch

had the Reserve Female, Chard Glitter. Our most recent

and youngest members, Brooks and Stanley Carey, enjoyed

success in the cross bred heifer class.

HERD COMPETITION

A visit to the Bosahan herd of John and Bridget Olds

took place on October 14th. Around 50 people attended.

A walk around these outstanding cattle was followed by

presentations and a wonderful lunch at the local social

club. Competition judge Clive Roads announced the

winners, and presented the trophies and rosettes. The club

would like to thank the Olds family and the judge for their

generosity.

The following words are the judge’s own thoughts on

the competition:

Super cattle and marvellous hospitality marked what

was a privilege to be invited to judge the 2018 Herd

Competition.

What a trip!! From the Cotswolds and the source of the

River Thames through to the White Horse in Wiltshire,

the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, the Eden Project in Cornwall,

taking in Exmoor, Dartmoor and Land’s End! A total of 846

miles in 3 days!!

My conclusion…. The Simmental breed is in safe hands in

the South West. Some brief yet poignant comments of the

14 herds visited on the trip.

David Bush – impressed with some great individual cows

– not easy when changing calving patterns from Spring to

Autumn but definitely a herd to watch with great young

stock coming through. The Red Deer enterprise on the farm

was particularly enlightening and of great interest.

Len & Adrian Curry – What enthusiasm! A small herd but

making a mark in the breed. A memorable in-calf heifer

Winford Vogue 11th will stay in my mind for a long time – as

will the flight path of Bristol Airport!

David Edwards – The ultimate for any breed is to be

run successfully as a commercial enterprise. David’s herd

typifies this. Purebred (not pedigree) good working cows,

not too big and producing super calves – best advert for

any breed.

Alstone Partnership – Roy Loud & Charlie Kidner - A

pedigree herd run commercially. The cows keeping the

farm rather than farm keeping cows – great management.

Excellent groups of in-calf and maiden heifers by Taurus

ELO and Heywood Fergus – very eye catching.

Steve & Dawn Shapland – Another working herd with

cows doing the calves well. The image of that bull calf

Brynsworthy Jethro sits bright in my mind and surely a

stock bull to make a mark in the future.

Chris Tucker – What an impressive farm and a herd on

the up and up. Again, some super individual cows, brilliant

calves and that particularly smart in-calf heifer Dinton Kiwi.

Seeing the flock of laying ducks and learning about Chris’s

television work was a real treat!

Sandra Francis – One word…Passionate! A walking

encyclopaedia of the breed, superb herd with type and

breeding. Impressed with the overall type even though

a number of different bulls have been used – careful

selection has been the secret.

Rupert Ridout – A small but select herd - making

ongoing improvements and with Rupert’s enthusiasm and

thoughts on future breeding policy, another herd to watch

in the future. British Blue cross calves were particularly

memorable.

Robert & Jim Cook – What inspiring “boys” these are!

Farming land on the coast line with 100,000 visitors walking

the fields, coping with land management required by The

National Trust and still breeding good, sound genuine cattle

with a superb work ethic and stockman-ship ethic. Fabulous

groups of heifers coming forward to enhance the herd.

Graham Reed – Stock farming at its best. Big numbers

of cows run commercially and efficiently with quality

throughout. Great calves, super bulling and maiden heifers

and an outstanding young bull Skylark Infamous – a treat to

see.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS


REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

Anthony Hart – What a rewarding experience visiting this

herd. Quality throughout, great stock bull, superb in-calf

heifer in Treverbyn Hayley and strong type cows everywhere.

John & Bridget Olds – Years of sound selective breeding

has paid off. Impressive stock wherever you look. Older

cows breeding true, great cow families and young stock.

Outstanding.

Jim Buckland – The “dark horse” of my tour! A herd with

a big future, each generation is a marked improvement on

the previous one. The new Irish stock bull will continue that

trend – definitely a herd to follow.

Viv Hall – A delight to see a herd of this calibre on my

last visit of the trip. Quality cows, calves and heifers typified

by Chegwidden Hera, a super in-calf heifer. A stock bull

Chegwidden Gismo was eye catching – book an appointment

to see him.

The competition was extremely interesting and not easy!

Different management systems, grazing opportunities

and different priorities but a common admiration and

commitment to the breed.

Simmentals were in short supply at Agrifest South West

in November, although Viv Hall’s Chegwidden Impecibull

being placed third did a great job representing the breed

in the Young Bull of the Year class. Well done Viv and David

HERD COMPETITION

During September, our Herd Competition Judge,

Mr Richard Storer-Smith travelled the Country visiting

numerous herds, although given the weather during the

first day, a boat might have been a more appropriate mode

of transport! Luckily the sun shone on the Sunday for our

awards presentation kindly hosted by Chris Waters and

family.

As well as a herd visit we also received an interesting cow

classification demonstration by Meurig James.

Many thanks to Richard and Meurig for giving up their

time and congratulations to all those who entered.

Trip 2018

These trips are shorter than they used to be and

tend to be concentrated over a weekend. However,

we still managed to fit in two herd visits, the stock

judging competition, laser tag, a social evening and a

presentation dinner.

We began with a herd visit to Kilbride Farm, where we

saw some fantastic stock. The field of yearling heifers

was a spectacle. On numerous occasions throughout the

trip, the young members are given the opportunity to

ask questions, and discuss amongst themselves aspects

of breeding and rearing stock. At the end of the visit,

the Robson family’s main piece of advice for breeders

old and new was that to move forward with a herd,

you must cull hard. Remove the females that aren’t

producing good stock, and concentrate your efforts on

those that are.

YOUNG MEMBERS

We were fortunate to be part of the annual Charity

BBQ event that is held at Dungannon. This year’s event

included a raffle that had been held throughout the past

show season, in memory of Thelma Gorman. A large

sum of money was raised for the Air Ambulance. It was a

fantastic event to be part of; well done to all those behind

organising and promoting it.

Saturday morning arrived, and with it the main event.

The young members congregated after breakfast, armed

with white coats, ties, pens and note paper. We travelled

to the Hiltonstown herd, and were hosted by the Rodgers

family for the stock judging. Some tremendous cattle were

waiting to be judged, and there was, as always with stock

judging competitions, easier classes and more difficult

classes, causing debate amongst the competitors young

and ‘old’!

After judging, a classification demonstration was

held. This was very educational, and allowed the young

members to gain insight into the criteria to look for when

choosing breeding females.

Richard chatted amongst the young members as they

looked around the rest of his herd; they discussed what

he looks for when selecting new bloodlines into the herd,

the pros and cons of using AI and selecting a stock bull.

As a group they chatted about what they’d like to see and

achieve in the future.

Over the course of the two farm visits, the young

members were given the opportunity to take away

knowledge gained from years of experience in breeding

and selling cattle, and an understanding of new tools to

use in the form of classification, all gained in a very relaxed

and welcoming atmosphere.

Moving away from cattle for a couple of hours, we took

the YM to laser tag to have fun, build friendships and let

that competitive side of them out! Judging by the sight of

them upon their return to the mess house, they definitely

had fun. Some were more competitive than others with

innovative ways to ‘win’ (not naming names Chris); they

had definitely worn themselves out and worked up an

appetite for the presentation dinner that evening.

Those that weren’t staying at the hotel all travelled to

the presentation dinner, giving us the opportunity to thank

the people who had made the trip possible, enjoy good

company and, of course, find out who had won this year’s

stock judging event. The full list of prize winners is shown

overleaf.

Harry Houldey & Heather Duff presenting Richard Rodgers and his wife with

a quaich in appreciation for hosting the stockjudging event

I have thoroughly enjoyed accompanying the young

members on their trips; year on year there is an obvious

increase in their knowledge base, friendships flourish, new

friendships are made and there’s always lots of laughter

along the way.

JUDGE:

BRIDGET BORLASE

Firstly, I would like to thank the Royal

Ulster Agricultural Society for inviting

me to judge the Simmental classes at

their 150th Centenary Show, it was a great

honour and a privilege for me to do so.

I was on my first visit to Balmoral Show

and I have to say I was most impressed by

their showground and their fantastic new

cattle building and judging rings, where the

cattle were presented to me on a bright

and beautiful day.

Numbers were not high but still the

Simmental exhibitors should be applauded

for putting forward some quality

youngstock before me. They were a credit

to our breed and all well presented.

We kicked off the day with the Junior

heifer class for heifers born in 2017. Top

of the line was Cleenagh Ivy, a very sweet

heifer with real presence and femininity,

she was very eye catching and had drawn

me to her as soon as she came into the

ring. Following her was another heifer

with real style which was Whitdrum Lady

Della, she was giving away quite a bit of

age and just carrying enough cover for her

age but a worthy runner up. Cleenagh Ivy

and Whitdrum Lady Della went on to be

my Female and Reserve Female Champion

respectively. The other two heifers in the

158 www.britishsimmental.co.uk


class will go on to do a good job, just lacking

the style of the first two heifers.

The second class of the day was for

heifers born from 1st July 2016 to 31st

December 2016 and we had six strong

entries forward. Leading the way for me

in this class was Lisglass Helena with her

stablemate Lisglass Honey in 2nd and

Cloone Hilda in 3rd. There was little to split

my first and second placed heifers; both

were very fleshy with plenty of style about

them. Lisglass Helena just won through on

locomotion and length over Lisglass Honey

and Cloone Hilda was again a sweet heifer

but just lacked the scale of my first two.

Onto the senior heifer class for heifers

born from 1st January 2016 to 30th June

2016 where we had three entries. My clear

winner in this class was Ranfurly Weikel

18th H2, a big powerful heifer. She has

great length and scale to her, and handled

herself very well. Castlemount Modesty

3 took 2nd place and Lummin Hattie was

3rd. Both my second and third prize heifers

were good examples of the breed but were

just overpowered on the day by the 1st

placed heifer.

Male entries were disappointing,

and we had just one class of yearling

bulls. However, my winner of this class,

Ranfurly Impeccable 17 lived up to his

name and definitely stole the show, going

on to be Male and Overall Champion and

following that with Interbreed Champion

Performance Recorded Bull. A very well

grown bull for his age, he has great style

and presence about him as well as great

length and clean lines, truly a credit to

his breeders. Lisglass Impressor 17 stood

second and followed on for Reserve Male

Champion. He was also a strong bull for his

age, but just lacking the sheer scale of the

winner with Woodford Iceberg 17 in a very

creditable 3rd place.

My Overall Champion had to be Ranfurly

Impeccable 17, as I said earlier, a bull with

real power and class and an easy winner

on the day. Following him was my Female

Champion, the very sweet and correct

Cleenagh Ivy who is a young heifer with a

bright future.

In conclusion I would like to thank all the

exhibitors for an excellent show of young

cattle they put in front of me as well as my

ring stewards and the Northern Ireland

Simmental Club and the Royal Ulster Show

Society for the wonderful hospitality shown

to me.

JUDGE:

MICHAEL BARLOW

My sincere thanks to the Great

Yorkshire Show and the British

Simmental Cattle Society for

the invitation to judge the 2018 English

National Show. I would also like to thank

all the stockmen and stockwomen who put

forward a tremendous show of Simmental

cattle for me to judge.

The first junior heifer class was won by

Chestermann Empire Stella, a very smart

growthy heifer, who showed plenty of style.

This is a difficult class to get a heifer ready

for; very easy to overdo, to kill them with

kindness.

The second junior heifer class was won

by Heathbrow Girlie’s Ivy, a very impressive

heifer with plenty of ring presence; she

moved well and was an easy winner.

My next class was won by a super heifer,

Sterling FCUK Impuls, who I’m sure we will

see a lot more of. This heifer went on to be

my Reserve Female Champion.

The next class was the Senior Heifer class,

born from April onwards. This was a difficult

class to judge for me as it came down to

personal preference. The top three heifers

in this class were very diverse, and could

have been placed differently by another

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

judge. The class winner was Popes

Princess Hettie; she had the most

ring presence, with a great body and

natural width.

Next was the strongest class of

the day, which was won by Popes

Rhona, who went on to be my Overall

Champion. She was eye-catching and

stylish. I was initially concerned that

she was over-fat on her tail head,

however, after examining her I decided

it felt more likely that she had banged

herself. I also need to mention the

second-placed heifer in this strong

class, Midhope Heavenly Light. She

was a big, and possibly the best bodied

heifer, and very good over her plates.

However, possibly due to an injury,

her movement on the day was wrong,

which stopped her going any further.

The next class had an easy winner

in Kennox Diva’s Gena, who was

making a super job of her calf, which

is what it’s all about. A very well made

cow that just needed to be a bit bigger.

Her bull calf went on to win the best

calf, and I’m sure we will see him in the

future.

Next class, I couldn’t get wrong; it

was won by Woodhall Erica, a very

correct cow, who just lacked the style

and presence to have pushed the

champion aside.

The senior cow class was won by

Sterling Petra’s Cairo, the biggest

animal on parade. She was up there

to win overall when standing, but with

locomotion very important, this was as

far as she could go.

The first of the bull classes was won

by Skerrington Iceman; he was an easy

winner - very modern with natural

width and a great top.

Next class was won by Williams I of

the Tiger, a very stylish, clean bodied

bull, but lacked the power to go

further.

The intermediate class was won by

Camus Harold.

The senior bull class only had the

one entry, and was won by Curaheen

Drifter. This bull carried his width all

the way to his tail, and he would later

stand Reserve Breed Champion. I had

seen the bull earlier in the year, and

actually thought he had improved as

the show season had gone on.

Many thanks for affording me the

honour of judging this show.

HIGHLAND

JUDGE:

JOHN DYKES

I

was greatly honoured to be invited by

the Royal Highland & Agricultural Society

and the Simmental Society to judge the

classes at the Royal Highland Show. To be

invited by one’s peers to place their entries

at such a prestigious event is a great vote

of confidence to any livestock breeder.

At the time of writing this report, our

herd is in the process of being prepared

for dispersal, but this in no way reduces

my enthusiasm for the breed or confidence

in a very exciting and progressive future

for Simmentals and their breeders. After

thirty-one years of involvement with this

breed at all levels, placing the cattle at the

Highland Show is indeed the icing on the

cake.

As a breeder of commercial cattle for

over fifty years, I have always been very

conscious of the qualities that lead to ease

of management and profitability. I hope

that my placings of the many quality cattle

paraded before me went some way to bear

this out.

As always at the ‘Highland’, the eleven

classes led off with the youngest female

class, yearling heifers. There were

nine heifers forward with the eventual

first place going to Frank Gwynne’s

Chestermann Empire Stella. A very stylish

young heifer who moved really well and

has the potential to grow into a very

impressive cow. Second was the Green’s

Corskie Inita and third was Richard

McCulloch’s Overhill House India.

The next age class was well supported

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

PITMUDIE HAVANA - Best Female, Reserve Overall Champion, Best Animal Bred by Exhibitor

& 1st place Female born on or between 01.01.16 and 30.06.16 at the Royal Highland Show

with thirteen of the sixteen entries

forward. The winner of this class was

Jimmy McMillan’s Sterling FCUK Impuls – a

very long, clean, whole coloured heifer

with lots of style and beautifully shown.

Perhaps not quite perfect behind but

nevertheless a worthy winner. Second

was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie Florin 2nd

and third was Jim & Patricia Goldie’s

Newbiemains Impressive.

The July to December 2016 class was

again well supported with twelve entries

forward. The Green’s Corskie Herlande

came out top in this strong class. A very

sound, good moving heifer who went on

to be Best Junior Female and eventually

Best Junior Animal of the breed. Second

and Reserve Junior Female was Gerald

Smith’s Drumsleed Hilight. She also

followed the first prize winner through to

become Reserve Overall Junior Champion.

Third in the class was Michael Durno’s

Auchorachan Letta H1.

The class for heifers born between 1st

January and end of June 2016 was slightly

smaller, but of a very high standard.

The eventual winner of a very close-run

decision was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie

Havana, beating Jimmy & Vikki Wood’s

Popes Rhona. Havana showed more breed

character through her head and front end

and went on to be Female Champion and

Reserve Overall in a very strong female

section. Third in this class to these two

impressive animals was Corskie Harp from the Greens.

Heifers born in 2015 was a strong class, with the older

animals nursing calves. The winner was Gerald Smith’s

Drumsleed Gretel. A well grown heifer with a tidy udder,

making a good job of rearing her calf. Second was Andy

Wilson’s Cairnview Tilly 4th. Not quite as strong as the first

prize winner but correct in every way and rearing a classy

calf very well. This combination went on to win the prize

for the Best Cow & Calf, judged as a pair. Third in the class

was a younger heifer from Richard McCulloch, Overhill

House Giggle.

The junior cow class had only three forward with

Woodhall Erica in first place. A well grown dark coloured

young cow from Richard McCulloch, nursing a good calf

- a cow who will have a great future when she matures.

Second was Gerald Smith’s Drumsleed Farina and third

was Tom Henderson’s Annick Trixibelle 15th.

The senior cow class was the smallest in the female

section with only two forward but was won by the very

impressive Sterling Petra’s Cairo. This seven-year old

cow was nursing a well reared calf but is starting to show

signs of age in her locomotion. She went on to be Reserve

Female Champion. Second was Dargill Cassie, also seven

years old and in her working clothes, nursing a bull calf

very well.

The bull classes were not quite so well supported as the

females. The junior class of bulls had seven forward out of

thirteen entries and was won by Corskie Infinity, a yearling

bull from the Greens. A very free moving and growthy bull

with all the right attributes to be a good herd sire. Second

was Frank Gwynne’s Chestermann Imran and third was

Skerrington Iceman from the Goldies.

Intermediate bulls was a little better-filled class with

twelve forward, to be led by Blackford Iolair. A red

and white bull with exceptionally good fleshing and

thickness throughout who went on to win the Interbreed

Beefbreeder/Breedplan championship the following day.

Second was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie Inverurie and third

was Gerald Smith’s Drumsleed Iceman.

The first senior bull class had only two entries forward

and was won by Camus Harold, a two-year old bull from

the Woods. Very well fleshed, plenty of width and a great

mover. Second was Overhill House Hercules from Richard

McCulloch.

The last class of aged bulls only had two, but they were

very impressive. Winner of the class was Blackford Galaxy

from Michael Barlow. On his second visit to Ingliston

under new ownership, he surpassed last year’s successes

and went on to win the Male Championship and the

Overall Breed Champion. He is a big bull carrying a lot of

condition but still moved actively and freely. The second

bull was Richard McCulloch’s Curaheen Drifter, also an

extremely thick, well fleshed bull but he did not move as

freely as the first.

After placing all the seventy-two animals in the classes,

it was very satisfying to have all the first prize winners line

up in a very pleasing show of top-class cattle. Blackford

Galaxy making an outstanding Overall Champion with

Pitmudie Havana a very worth Reserve.

I would just like to conclude by thanking and

congratulating all the exhibitors for presenting such a fine

the event. Also, a big thank you to the directors, stewards

and Scottish Simmental Club who, as always, excelled

in their organisation of the judging, the welcome and

the hospitality extended to Kate and myself on what will

always be a memorable day.

Thank you.

STEWART STRONACH

STERLING PETRA’S CAIRO - Best Cow with Calf at Foot, Female

Champion, Overall Champion and 1st Place Cow, in calf or with

calf at foot, born on or before 31.12.13 at the Royal Welsh Show

Royal WELSH

Show

JUDGE:

STEWART

STRONACH

Firstly, I would like to thank the RWAS

for the kind invitation to judge the

Simmental classes at their prestigious

event. It was a privilege and an honour.

The hospitality, friendliness and welcome

shown by the show, the Welsh Simmental

club and exhibitors was greatly appreciated

by myself and Fiona.

In the first class, the senior bulls

exhibited three great examples of the

Simmental breed. It was a difficult class to

judge and I finally placed Blackford Galaxy

first, thinking to myself that it was going to

take something very special to beat him in

the championship. Curaheen Drifter was a

close second and Camus Harold third.

There was only one entry in class two,

Williams I of the Tiger, a well grown correct

bull that received the first prize.

In class three, the Williams herd was

doing the business again with a real fleshy

young bull, Williams Invincible, who was

placed first. Following in second place was

Storersmith Infrared.

As the Male Championship commenced,

Galaxy led the first prize animals into the

ring. To me, he was the obvious Male

Champion. The Reserve went to Curaheen

Drifter, the bull that stood second to him in

his class.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

WILLIAMS INVINCIBLE 17 - 1st Place Bull, born

on or after 01.04.17 at the Royal Welsh Show

The first of the female classes, class 4,

saw two cows enter the ring, both rearing

calves. I placed Sterling Petra’s Cairo first.

As soon as she walked into the ring, her

power and show presence was impossible

to go past. Second was Woodhall Erica

owned by Richard McCulloch. A hard

working cow with a great udder, making a

tremendous job of her heifer calf.

In class 5 first place went to Popes

Rhona, a well grown and classy heifer.

Second went to Overhill House Hesse, a

stylish dark red heifer.

Cwarre Rosie’s Hyacinth won class 6, a

sweet heifer with lots of character, followed

closely by Sterling Ellie’s Heidi.

Class 7 had six entries. An easy first was

Jimmy McMillan’s Sterling FCUK Impuls.

Second was Popes Nelly’s Ilia and a very

close third was Storersmith Iridessa.

The Female Championship went to

Sterling Petra’s Cairo, with Sterling FCUK

Impuls in reserve.

The Overall Championship was a very

impressive line-up, with two really good

examples of the breed, but on the day the

cow, Sterling Petra’s Cairo for the Borlase

family shone out as my champion, with

Michael Barlow’s Blackford Galaxy as

reserve.

I would like to congratulate everyone

who took part in the show and thank

everyone who made it a very memorable

day.

JUDGE’S REPORT BY:

SIMON KEY

ISLAVALE EMERALD - Overall Champion, Female Champion, Best Animal bred by Exhibitor, Senior

Female Champion and 1st place Cow, born before 31.07.15 at the Scottish National Show

SCOTTISH

NATIONAL

Show

JUDGE:

SIMON KEY

To start I’d like to thank the Scottish

Simmental Club for the absolute

honour and privilege of judging their

National Show. The high standard of cattle

put before me were an absolute credit to

the breeders and the Simmental breed.

Class 1. Bulls born before 31/12/16.

Quite a difficult class with three different

types of bull. The first place went to

Curaheen Drifter, a well fleshed, long,

deep bodied bull who moved very well on

the day. Second was Newbiemains Fame

and Fortune, who on the day out powered

Auroch Hudson who was giving away quite

a bit of age.

Class 2. First was Blackford Iolair, a

very big, growthy bull who was a different

type to the second place Islavale Irish, a

long fleshy bull who had plenty of breed

character. Blackford Iolair then went on to

be Reserve Male Junior Champion. Third

was Pitmudie Inverurie, a deep, well fleshed

bull, just lacking the length and power of

the two bulls placed above him.

Class 3. First was Islavale Imperial, long,

well fleshed, great movement and full of

breed character, a bull that is going to

have an outstanding future. He went on

to be my Junior Champion and Reserve

Male Champion. Second was Islavale Isaac,

another good bull brought from the same

stable. Well fleshed but on the day didn’t

move as well as his yard mate. Third was

Corskie Infinity, a good bull just lacking the

flesh and power of the 2 bulls above him.

Class 4. First was Cairnorrie Irn-Bru,

DRUMSLEED FARINA 14 - Reserve Overall Champion, Reserve Female Champion

and 2nd place Cow, born before 31.07.15 at the Scottish National Show

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

a good young modern bull, well fleshed

for his age and another one to look out

for in the future. Second was Woodhall

Innerwick, another tidy bull but just lacked

the flesh of the bull placed above him.

Third was Blackford Island Legacy, a good

calf but for me on the day just lacked the

style of the 2 bulls above him.

Class 5. First was Islavale Emerald.

From the moment she walked in the ring I

knew she was going to take some stopping.

A cow with amazing presence and full of

breed character. Everything I looked for

in a top class cow. She went on to be my

Female Champion, then Overall Simmental

Champion and Reserve Interbreed

Champion. Second was Drumsleed Farina,

another wonderful cow put before me

who, on any other day, would have been

a worthy champion but unfortunately

was just out-powered. Drumsleed Farina

then went on to be my Reserve Female

Champion. Third was Drumsleed Gretel,

another good cow working hard, but just

wasn’t as good on the plates as her stable

mate on the day. Drumsleed Farina and

Drumsleed Gretel also went on to be part

of the best Group of Three animals and

became Reserve Interbreed Group of

Three.

Class 6. First was Pitmudie Havana, a

very smart heifer, full of breed character

CURAHEEN DRIFTER - Male Champion, Best Animal Opposite Sex to Overall

Champion and 1st place Bull, born before 31.12.16 at the Scottish National Show

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

GARMOUTH DUMANDY’S ISABELLA - Junior Female Champion, Reserve Junior Champion and 1st

place Heifer, born between 01.01.17 & 31.06.17 at the Scottish National Show

and I’m sure she will become a good

breeder. Second was Corskie He-enna,

another cracking heifer who will also go on.

Third place was Pitgaveny Gamble, another

good strong heifer who on the day just

lacked the condition of the 2 heifers above

her.

Class 7. First was Blackford Hyalite,

a super strong heifer with a fantastic

head and big ears to match. Full of

breed character and a worthy winner of

this strong class. Second was Corskie

Herlande, another good heifer and a

slightly different type to my winner but

still I’m sure will become a very good cow.

Third, Corskie Herb, another good heifer

but in my opinion on the day a little shorter

in length than her stable mate.

Class 8. First was Garmouth Dumandy’s

Isabella. A tough class, but Isabella was

full of breed character and a rib longer

than her class mates. She went on to be my Junior Female

Champion and Reserve Junior Champion. Second was

Corskie Inita, another sweet heifer who just lacked the

length of the first place heifer. Third was Pitmudie Florin

2nd, another cracking heifer and very good on the plates.

Class 9. First placed was Islavale Illusion, a nice red,

clean, long and modern heifer who, at an early age, shows

great promise. She went on to be my Reserve Junior

Female Champion. Second place was Cairnorrie Clarissa

3rd, a nice heifer with good breed characteristics. Third

place was Auchorachan Hilly, a lovely long heifer but on

the day didn’t move as well as the 2 placed above her.

Class 10. Three lovely calves were put before me and in

BLACKFORD IOLAIR 17 - Reserve Junior Male Champion and 1st place Bull, born between 01.01.17

and 31.03.17 at the Scottish National Show

first place I put Drumsleed Janine, a super sweet calf who

will hopefully follow in her dam’s footsteps. Second place

was Islavale Jewel, a good red heifer but slightly lacking the

width of Janine. Third was Quarryhill Jen, another super

calf who has done well off her dam. I’m sure she will be in

the show ring when she is older.

Class 11. Best pair for me on the day were Islavale

Imperial and Islavale Irish who were a uniformed match.

Long fleshy bulls with great potential.

Finally I would like to thank the Turriff Show for their

hospitality; Tom Henderson and his family and Richard

Pettit for their organisation which led to the smooth

running of classes, and Neil Shand for his class stewarding.

JUDGE’S REPORT BY:

CHRIS MARTINDALE

CWARRE IDAHO 17 - Junior Male Champion, Male Champion, Overall

Champion, Best Animal Bred by Exhibitor & 1st place Bull, born on or after

01.04.17 at the Welsh National Show

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

NATIONAL

Show

JUDGE:

CHRIS

MARTINDALE

It was a great honour to be invited

to judge the Welsh National Show in

Pembrokeshire and I would like to thank

the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society for

giving me this opportunity.

I would also like to thank all the

exhibitors who worked extremely hard

to get their stock looking tremendous

and presenting me with some difficult

decisions to make. Everyone made me

very welcome and the stewards helped

to make the day run smoothly, a most

enjoyable day.

My first class was the young April bulls

and I was immediately impressed by my

first placed bull Cwarre Idaho – a well

fleshed bull with lots of style. In second

place was a bull with potential for the

future, Crugmelyn Idwal. Third place was

a strong bull Crugmelyn Ilky Bar Kid and

fourth was a young bull, Cwarre Iowa, with

exceptional length and one to watch for

the future.

The second class was young bull born

after 1st September 2017 and although

there was only one in the class, Gwili Idwal

was a sweet calf with a tremendous back

end, full of muscle.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS

DEERHURST IMPULSE - Junior Female Champion, Female

Champion, Reserve Overall Champion & 1st place Heifer, born on

or between 01.01.17 and 31.03.17 at the Welsh National Show

The senior cow class had

only one entry, a 7 year-old

cow, Cefngwlad Cleopatra,

who was working hard and

doing her calf well.

The junior heifer class

was won by Cwarre Rosie’s

Hyacinth, a well-balanced

calf that walked well and

just beaten into second

place was Sterling Ellie’s

Heidi, a tall calf in natural

condition.

The January class was

won by Deerhurst Impulse,

a very correct heifer which

exhibited great presence in

the ring. She went on to be

Junior & Female Champion.

Second was Mainview

Jezabel, a big strong heifer

but just not as neat as the

first. Third was Dyfed Foxy

Lady 2nd who just lacked condition on the

day.

The April class was won by Crugmelyn

Icing Sugar, a super heifer with lots of

potential, second from the same exhibitor

was Crugmelyn Icecream, a long heifer

that did just not quite have the style of the

winner.

180 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

GWILI IDWAL 17 - Reserve Male Champion & 1st place Bull

Calf, born on or after 01.09.17 at the Welsh National Show

The calf class was won by Cwarre

Rosie’s Ilex, a very sweet young heifer who

exhibited herself well on parade. Second

was a very young calf, Cefngwlad Jennie

which just lacked the power of my winner.

My Champion was the very stylish bull

Cwarre Idaho and my Reserve Champion

was the sweet heifer Deerhurst Impulse.

ANN JUKES

I

have been married to Tony for 52 years!!!!! We have

three lovely daughters and four wonderful grandchildren.

We farmed for twenty years at Tenterden in Kent. I ran

the farm and Tony worked in the City to pay for it. We ran

350 North Country mule sheep using Suffolk Tups. I had

always had a yearning to try some cattle.

It was in July 1989 and I was going in to Ashford Market

just to have a look! As he left for work Tony said, “ don’t

spend too much money but don’t buy rubbish”. I had very

little knowledge of cattle, but I saw what I thought were

beautiful. They were three lovely pale coloured heifers. I

did not know then what a Simmental was but from then

on, I was hooked, and it has cost Tony money ever since!!

We have both thoroughly enjoyed breeding Simmentals

and equally we have had our lives enriched by all those

supporters of the breed we have met and some of whom

have become our very closest friends.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

HEATHER DUFF

I

live at Pitmudie Farm, Brechin. We run 120 commercial cows and 60

pedigree cows.

The pedigree herd was founded in 2011 with a Drumsleed cow that

was in the commercial herd, her daughter Beaujolais started up the

Pitmudie Prefix and off we went from there.

I took a late interest in the farm and livestock. My decision to join the

Young Farmers and compete in the overwintering competitions and

helping at home more changed my perspective on farming.

I then ventured up to SRUC Aberdeen to study Agriculture and after a

brilliant five years I graduated with a BSc Honours degree.

A year on I have started a part time job with Agri-Lloyd as an

independent sales agent for Angus and spend the rest of my time with

pedigrees.

SALE PRECHECKS

Please be aware of the following before entering Simmental Cattle to any of our Society sales:

• Testicles

Bull’s testicles will be measured and inspected by the veterinary surgeon. They must be a

minimum size of 36 cm in circumference (14 Months), and 38 cm (over 18 months), measured

at the widest point of the scrotum. The vet retains the right at his discretion to reject any

bulls with uneven or soft testicles. Progeny from bulls with small/uneven/soft testicles

which fail inspections will not be accepted into the BSCS herd book 10 months after the sale

inspection date. Bulls which may have suffered injury will be considered on a case-by-case

basis.

• Warts

Animals with active warts must be treated by the member’s veterinary surgeon and a vet’s

certificate should be available for inspection at the Sale

• Teeth

Teeth must make proper contact with the dental pad of the upper jaw but due allowance

will be made for the age and dental development of the animal. Any animal with severely

undershot or severely overshot jaws will be rejected and progeny from such animals will not

be accepted into the BSCS herd book 10 months after the sale inspection date. Where the

veterinary surgeon declares that an animal is marginally overshot or undershot that animal

may still be offered through the sale but will be excluded from the show. The Auctioneer will

announce that at the point of inspection of animal was found to be marginally overshot or

undershot

• General Health

Animals with active infections, a contagious disease, or a disorder or condition, may be

rejected by the veterinary surgeon. Minor injuries may be treated by a veterinary surgeon in

the market but this must be announced at the time of sale. The decisions of the veterinary

surgeon appointed by the Society are final and binding. Any animal which is considered by

the vet to be not in a healthy and proper condition to be presented as representing a good

specimen of the breed at an official collective sale, will be rejected.

• Feet

Please ensure that feet and legs are sound and locomotion is satisfactory.

• Check that the animals are of good conformation/condition and meet the required minimum

weight for age as per the chart below:-
