![]() ![]() When he got his six prize winners back into the ring for the Junior Championship, judge Carscadden commented how pleased he was with the uniformity of the group. Taking third in a close placing was Drointon Jordan Brenda from the Lucas/Serrabassa/Rijneldvelt partnership. ![]() Although one of the younger entries, her overall frame and wide mid section caught the judge’s eye as he put her ahead of a similar heifer, Logan Damion Joleen from Brian Yates, in second. The Senior class saw another repeat Sahara success, with the Calf Show Reserve Champion Sahara Damion Tessie taking the top spot. A heifer the judge admired, Sahara Holstein’s Rosie was a different type to the class winner, and her added femininity through the head and neck and overall cleanness were enough to see her finish ahead of her full sister, the Mackellar/Henke-owned Ridgefield Shottle Rosie. A massive, open heifer, Miss Linda had too much depth of rib and strength through the crops and shoulder for Ridgefield Show Rosie. A long heifer with a beautiful top, Olympia was placed ahead of Blyth Farms’ Drointon Goldwyn Sally in third place.Ī fine class of Intermediates saw success for the Whittaker family as their Knowlesmere ISM Miss Linda to the red rosette. The judge picked out Squaw’s extra cleanness through the head and brisket, plus her additional spring of rib, as the reasons for his decision. Richard Bown went one better than the final calf class as his Richaven Shottle Squaw took the title in a close placing with Bilsrow Shottle Olympia 3 in second. Three heifer classes commenced with 19 in the Junior section. In third place was the Nottage’s Forte RR Renita, just losing put to Squaw because of the latter’s extra strength.Ĭalf classes concluded, it was Championship time and it was possibly no surprise to see the Senior calf, Sahara Damion Sara, carry the day ahead of Squaw and Kandy. Sara continued to impress with her width of rump and loin strength and her added size and width was enough to consign Richard Bown’s very correct Richaven RR Squaw 4 to second place. Leading the field was Sahara again, this time with Sahara Damion Sara, winner of her Calf Show class the previous day. The Senior calf class again attracted a decent entry, with 22 forward for what the judge called an outstanding class. This length, width and a little extra flexibility in the hock were the reasons given for Joy finishing ahead of the Sutton family’s well balance Shottle Dundee Dorothea in second, with Bill Nadin’s Sterndale Advent Prose Red, a clean heifer with correct rear leg set, in third. The judge admired her overall style, her length of frame and her strength and width throughout. In second place was a dairy heifer, Sahara Goldwyn Regenia from Sahara Holsteins, whose overall cleanness throughout kept her a pla ce in front of W Maddocks Ltd’s well made Wyndford Mr Sam Rebecca 36.Īfter an unaccustomed second place, Sahara resumed normal service in the Intermediate class, with Sahara Advent Joy finishing first of the 20 entries. She exhibited plenty of width through the rump and front end, and this width proved to be the deciding factor. It was Hefin Wilson’s Lyganlan Shottle Kandy who emerged victorious, one of the oldest in the class. Six classes of juniors preceded the milking animals into the ring, led by 13 Junior Calves.
