For those that can't make it to the shows here are some results.  If you have attended a show in Wales or have taken your herefords over the border with success then let everyone know by sending in your results.


 

Finn Riordan-Jones takes first in his young handler class then goes on to take overall Young Handler champion.  Well done Finn.

This years RWAS winter fair saw eight Herefords forward for judging. 1st and 2nd in the heifer class was newcomer to the cattle show ring was Alun Richards and in third was Glen Pritchard. In the steer class 1st and 2nd went to Will Griffiths and third to Harvey bros, with the overall going to the Griffiths.
