July ended with a Female Classification Demonstration
kindly hosted by the Sowenna Herd. Club members had
the opportunity to question Tina Russell on the inspection
process and see excellent examples of the type of
cattle to aim for with Sowenna Annie scoring Ex 92. The
demonstration was followed by a herd visit and despite the
dry conditions the Sowenna herd were in fine fettle and a
credit to the Hawkey family.
