British Simmental Review 2018

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.
