South East Simmental Club Report by Bridget Borlase, Chairperson
W
ithin Covid 19 yet again causing disruption to all our club’s main annual activities, it was lovely that, despite all of the headaches it has caused, we were able to restart some of our club’s activities again. With a return of just the odd show, our congratulations must go to David & Lesley Sapsed on winning the Championship at The Great Yorkshire Show with Heathbrow Koko Star who, a month later, followed that with the Championship at Edenbridge Show, the only summer show to actually take place within our club area. The Society’s ‘Virtual Show’ has proved a big hit during these times and some of our club’s breeders have done particularly well with the Bailey family from Mixbury Hall having fantastic success for the second year in a row. This year they won Male & Reserve Overall Champion with stock bull Tilbrook Frank and Reserve Female Champion with their heifer calf Mixbury Hall Millie, no mean feat at all with the overwhelming number of entries. In September we were indebted to the time given by Vicki and Jimmy Woods of the Popes Herd to come and judge our Herd competition and it was lovely to see a good entry from across our area.
