BCCS September Newsletter 2022

South Midlands - Steve Hookway
I am writing this report in mid August on a roasting hot day.
I have just been looking back through some photos from the
spring to include in the newsletter. I had forgotten what the
cattle looked like on a green field!. Hopefully by the time you
read this things will have improved and the green stuff will
return.
THE SALE OF ROGER AND RITA BAYLISS CAELEY HERD
Having made the decision to retire from farming Roger and
Rita Bayliss dispersed their Caeley Herd of Charolais cattle at
Hereford Market on June 7. Roger registered his first Charolais
cattle with the society in the year 2000, he regularly purchased
his stock bulls from the Welshpool sales.
The herd was made up from genetics from the
Bampton,Montgomery ,Denaud and also Molfre herds. Roger
enjoyed a very good local trade and sold the vast majority of
his bulls from home where his cattle gained a good reputation
with many repeat buyers.
Roger has been very actively involved with the south Midlands
Charolais club where he has held the Chairman’s position
on several occasions. A well respected member of the club.
On behalf of the club member’s I would like to Wish Roger and
Rita a very long and happy retirement.
THREE COUNTIES
SHOW
The Three Counties
show returned to
Malvern after missing
the last couple of years
due to the pandemic.
Some very good
cattle were forward
to be judged by David
Thornley of the Dooley
herd who we thank for
a job well done.
The South Midlands
Region provided the
Breed stand to promote
the breed and cater
for the exhibitors and
friends.
A special thank you to
Paul Burgess and Nicky
Roberts for organising
the food and giving
their time to man the
stand. Also to Ricky and
Christine Butler for the
use of their fridge to
keep the beers cold on
a very hot day.
