Thank you to all those who helped – particularly Kivells, and our team of frame scorers and stewards. A catalogue for the Skipton sale on Wednesday 7 th November is enclosed for members in regions 5, 6 and 7. It is also available on the website, and additional paper copies may be requested from the office. Included in the sale are two bulls, eight in-calf heifers, two maidens, and two crossbreds. All will be inspected by our Sale Inspector, Duncan Findlay. The cattle in the show classes will be judged from 10 am, and the sale will begin at approximately 12.30 pm, following the sale of Beef Shorthorns. The Herd Competition Winner’s Open Day took place earlier this week in Northumberland, and a report is inside, together with the competition results.

Congratulations to all herds who entered this, and the regional and Club
competitions, and I hope it was a valuable experience.
A number of other Farm Walks are taking place in the next few weeks, the
first of which is being hosted by Alan & Elizabeth Bartley to see their
Mutterton herd on Wednesday 24th October. This is primarily a Devon
regional event, but other members are invited – just let us know as soon as
possible. Please see inside for details of other visits.
The calendar continues to look very busy, with technical events, store sales,
and the start of the primestock shows. I hope to see many of you ‘out and
about’ in the coming weeks.
With my best wishes

AUTUMN SHOW & SALE RESULTS
Judge: Mr Ian Rounsevell, Highgate, St Veep, Lostwithiel
Auctioneers: Messrs Kivells
A smaller than usual catalogue this year perhaps gave cause for some pre-Sale
nerves – but the quality of the cattle and the continuing demand for the breed
resulted in one of the most successful female sales we have seen, with the
breed record price for a female being broken again at a Society sale to reach
a new high of 6,800 guineas!
Average prices were also well up, which is encouraging for all, especially taking
into account the higher standards set at recent sales. The dispersal of the
Monkton herd also saw strong prices, and we wish Gareth Davies well for the
future.
The pre-Sale supper, hosted by the Wessex Region, was enjoyed by a good
crowd of vendors, and the raffle raised in excess of £100 for regional funds.
Roger Clemens entertained the gathering with some carefully selected stories
and jokes, all of which passed their inspection, some only just! Our thanks go
to Regional Chairman Charles Phillips, for providing wine to accompany the
supper.

HERD COMPETITION WINNERS OPEN DAY By kind invitation of Robert & Sally Lee
Lumbylaw Farm, Edlingham, Alnwick, Northumberland
The weather was not conducive to a farm walk, to say the least! Heavy
downpours during the night, followed by horizontal rain all morning would deter
anyone not entirely dedicated to enjoying the sight of award winning cattle.
However, some 50 stalwarts were welcomed by Robert & Sally Lee to Lumbylaw
to look at the cattle and to hear how the herd has developed since it moved to
Northumberland 22 years ago.
10
One of the herd’s main attributes that persuaded the judges was its evenness
and uniformity, especially taking into consideration the use of a number of
different bulls.
We were shown groups of finishing steers, alongside young bulls that had yet
to be put through the final paces of breeding selection. In another shed, in-
calf rising 3-year olds looked like peas in a pod – well-grown, structured, and
with shape. Cows with their bull calves had been brought under cover to
enable a closer look, and again, their uniformity was quite striking.
The Lees’ vet spoke about pelvic measuring, a technique that has developed
significantly in recent years with the use of specially designed calipers
imported from America that can be employed relatively easily and quickly by a
vet whilst heifers are being handled in a crush. The science and the
mathematics seem to be quite simple, and have the potential to give a good
indication about calving ability before any potential disasters may occur. This
technique will likely be discussed at the next meeting of the Breed
Improvement committee in November.
The rain eventually stopped towards the end of the afternoon, to enable
trailers to take us to the other side of the valley to look at the cows with
their heifer calves at foot – another strong, well-shaped group.
Before we dispersed again to the four corners of the country, thanks were
conveyed to the Lees, to the judges, and to the caterers, for a most enjoyable
afternoon!
