Virtual Show 2021: Results
And here are the results!
Our judge this year was Beth McVerry, owner of the Cherrybank herd from NZ, who won Champion last year with her bull Riland Ranger. She asked her father, Henry Clothier to help in places, particularly where classes had animals with her own breeding. Beth would like to thank everyone who entered and made her job so difficult. The quality of entries in the cow class was particularly high.
