CORNWALL PEDIGREE CALF SHOW was conceived in January and has just produced a spectacular event this Halloween at the Royal Cornwall showground. There were no tricks but plenty of treats with well over 100 quality calves watched by about 300 people on a sunny day in Cornwall. The show ran very smoothly with the huge entry of excellent calves just fitting into the large cattle shed along with trade stands and a catering area. There were two rings, the Native ring with judge; David Barker and the Continental ring with judge; Mike Yeandle. After those classes were judged Hugh Lello MBE judged the Commercial, the two Young Handler classes and then the Supreme Champion of the show receiving the Cup and prize from our president ;Mr Martin Eustace. Thanks to most generous sponsors and much support and enthusiasm from competitors from as far away as Dorset and Bristol this FIRST Pedigree calf show for beef animals in Cornwall was deemed a resounding success by all. The show would never have happened without much hard work and commitment from a small committee of ten local pedigree breeders representing each breed. We thought we would try it and see if it was a success and if so make it an annual event.....seems as if that will now happen!
