MILLIE HENDY WINS YOUNG LIMOUSIN BREEDERS STOCKJUDGING AT THREE COUNTIES

South West takes Junior Team title

Scotland wins Senior Teams

Millie Hendy (17), Woodlands Farm, Watery Lane, Doynton, Bristol took both the junior and overall titles at the Young Limousin Breeders’ Club (YLBC) National Stockjudging held on Saturday 14th June 2014 at the Royal Three Counties Show, Malvern.

Scoring incredibly high marks on both the placings and reasons, Millie also took the junior title along with team mate Jess Maynard, Caseberry Farm, Copydown Lane, Bradninch, Devon.

There was a great turnout of young breeders with teams from Northern Ireland, Scotland, North West, South West, North West Midlands & N Wales regions. Richard Bartle of the Dinmore Herd was the master judge and said he was very impressed by all the competitors, adding that the reasons from Millie were excellent.

The senior team title was won by Scotland’s two representatives: Stephanie Dick, Westerton of Cowie, Stirling and Thomas Illingworth, Howgillside, Eaglesfield, Lockerbie.

Twenty-two members enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon stockjudging some excellent heifers and bulls kindly provided by the Whiskey, Tredon, Torycoed, Ironstone, Coachouse, Taygreen, Bassingbourn and Killerton Herds. Reasons were given on the bull class, followed by prizegiving and BBQ.

The YLBC would like to thank Richard Bartle Master Judge for all his time, together with generous sponsors The Farm Wardrobe, The Halter Man and the British Limousin Cattle Society.
