Border & Lakeland August News

Border & Lakeland Holstein club held the 2021 AGM on Tuesday 22nd June, although later in the year than usual, a formality that we enjoyed by at least having some form of new normal happenings. We held it at The Auctioneer Carlisle, where committee members were able to attend and the membership invited to view online and submit any ideas or issues to the secretary before the night. All went smoothly with office holders elected en-block to stand on for another year in the hope of getting some functions under way soon.
We held a HYB Training Day on Saturday 19th June 2021 by kind permission of the Horsley family (Woodcatt). What a tremendous day. A huge thanks and congratulations to the older HYB members who were outstanding with their time, patience and understanding, to help and show the younger generation coming through how to clip, wash and handle a calf.
A thoroughly enjoyable day was had by all.

Winter Herd Classic Report 2021

Being held slightly later in the year than planned, the 2021 Winter Herd Competition still produced an outstanding display of Holstein cattle, showing the breed’s strength in all its glory.
The task to pull these animals in to any particular order fell upon Mrs Ruth Harper (Lillyhall). There was jaw dropping moments throughout the competition especially so with the power all cattle displayed and the youthful dairyness displayed by the older classes. On giving the results, Ruth commented how close all the classes were, if you put each in a ring together it was coming down to the finest detail. Ruth has kindly produced a video of the classes on the Border & Lakeland Facebook page.
A big thank you to all exhibitors for putting on a wonderful display of cattle; your commitment and hard work showed through over the three days judging and it was a pleasure to judge.
An outstanding display from Evening Holsteins who took the overall title with their super six. Chasing their tails was Inglewood Holsteins, this was the first time they had entered a Border & Lakeland competition and one to definitely watch out for in the future. Following on with a close third was M & D Wilson Hailstone Holsteins with their organic pedigree herd.
One highlight of the competition was the Iron Grandma. Inglewood Kiwi Oranje 53 from Inglewood Farms Ltd, a 7th calver that showed power, strength, dairyness, and above everything so youthful, a truly outstanding example of the breed.
Finally, a big thank you to Dodd & Co for their continued support for sponsoring the competition. We are very grateful that we are able to provide these competitions to the members.
