English Winter Fair: Beef results

After a hard fought out contest in the beef championship judges Jimmy Mulholland and P David finally tapped out Gilbert Brooke’s Limousin x heifer as their champion. Roxy Rose was bought at the Brecon show potential sale in February for 3,100gns and had much success over the summer show season picking up eight championship titles out of a possible 10. Rose is by Haltcliffe Chico and was bred by E Jones, Lampeter.

In reserve was the Edwards family from Corwen with their Limousin x heifer Bang Tidy. This one is homebred by UFO and out of a Limousin x British Blue cow and will be entered at the Welsh Winter Fair.

Judge Mr Mulholland who is a butcher near Carlisle said there was little in it between the champion and reserve. “The champion was just so stylish with tremendous character and is a real butchers animal. She is quality head to tail.”
