F
irstly, I would like to say what a great honour it is to be
President of a breed I love so much, and a formidable
task to follow such a prestigious list of previous
Presidents. My special thanks go to our retiring President,
Robin Boyd, for the support he has shown to the Society
and its members during his two years at the helm.
My thanks and congratulations to all breeders who
continue to take cattle to Stirling Sales on a regular basis;
the bar seems to be raised higher sale on sale. In October
2018, 69 bulls averaged at £6187, up by £467, achieving
79% clearance. Well done - this is great for the breed. We
continue to produce bulls more suitable to the needs of our
customers, whilst still retaining the maternal traits no other
breed can offer.
I have always tried to attend all sales up and down
the country, and the Worcester Sale continues to grow in
strength. A big thank you to all the breeders who support it
year on year. However, Carlisle still remains a challenge. For
2019, Carlisle will hold two spring sales, but no leading ladies
sale. A huge thank you must also go to all the breeders who
continue to support summer shows and events up and down
the country.
As we are all aware, post-Brexit is on the horizon, and
it’s important to keep improving our market share and
clearance rates. If we as breeders continue to improve the
quality of our stock by relentlessly culling inferior animals,
and breeding only from animals that carry superior breed
characteristics, the breed will continue to move in the right
direction.
Next year is the 50th anniversary of the British Simmental
Cattle Society, and your Chief Executive and his organising
committee already have plans well in hand to celebrate
this prestigious milestone. The venue at Carlisle market has
been chosen, and we will hold a show and sale and a dinner,
as well as farm open days. In 2020, all efforts will focus on
the anniversary event, and there will be no national shows.
I would like to ask all members to take part, and to put on
a show of cattle which will be the envy of all other breeds.
There is no need for me to remind members how very
important quality of stock is for this event.
Another major milestone to happen in 2019 is the
relocation 9of the Society office. Sounds easy as we are only
Michael Barlow
President
moving next door, but this involves moving fifty years worth
of documentation, and will cause a Neil and the ladies in the
office a great deal of extra work and stress. I would like to
ask all the members to be as supportive as they can during
this time. Sue Walley has recently left, and I would like to
thank her for her commitment to the Society, and wish her
all the best for the future.
Our young members stock judging finals last year
were held in Northern Ireland. A huge thank you must
go to the Robson family at Kilbride Farm for inviting us to
see such an outstanding herd, and Richard Rodgers and
family at Hiltonstown for hosting the stock judging finals
and displaying another wonderful herd of cattle. Our
appreciation goes to the office staff and Emma McInnes
for arranging this event. I have hosted one of these
events, and know just how much work goes in to making
them successful. Young members find these events very
interesting, and they are a great chance to meet breeders
of their own age. The Council continues to look at young
members and how to develop their skills within the Society.
Recently, three young members attended a Future Leaders
Course which they thoroughly enjoyed, and which led to
them taking part in their own British beef promotion video.
This was released before Christmas onto social media and
the Society website. It was very well received and clocked up
many thousands of views.
May I conclude by giving my sincere thanks to all Council
members, Neil and the office staff for their hard work
and support. I would like to end this message by saying
how fortunate we are to have such an enthusiastic Chief
Executive, who looks after the Society’s interests as if they
were his own.

BREED PROMOTION
n order to remain at the leading edge of breed and sale
promotion, we have started using video to promote the
Ibreed and individual sales. Using a powerful brand, we
can deliver a clear and bespoke message to commercial
customers near and far. These video productions are
timeless, and non-critical of other breeds and processes,
the most recent production being a big push on the
benefits of eating British red meat. We saw this as a means
of giving our commercial customers a boost by promoting
their produce. With regard to cost, these videos produce
a much better return in terms of pence per view. We shall
continue to advertise in the mainstream agricultural press,
but adverts will be less in number, smaller in size and more
targeted. This week’s press adverts are next week’s chip
papers.
These videos have predominantly been released on
social media – both Facebook and Twitter - and have been
linked to the Society website and Youtube channel (Simm
TV). Our target market of young commercial farmers are
increasingly using social media and the internet to learn
and source information about the industry. The social
media platform is free to view for anyone with internet
access, and a phone that doesn’t go clunk. Adverts in the
mainstream agricultural press tend to require dipping into
one’s pocket.
A special mention to both Catherines at MacGregor
photography for their ground breaking work in producing
and launching the videos three months ahead of the
original schedule. We are delighted to be industry leaders
in the use of this type of advertising, and whilst we are sure
other breeds will follow suit, everyone will remember who
was first.

Answer
to TB
Main Electric Fence
The TBAS identifies four main sources of infection;
1. Brought-in cattle. This can be cattle which have
been purchased at a market or privately, your own
cattle which have left the holding for a show or
those which return unsold from the market.
2. Neighbouring cattle. However biosecure and
health conscious you are, if your cattle have noseto-nose
contact with other cattle, there’s a risk.
3. Latent infection. The TB skin test does not have
absolutely 100% detection rate, and animals can
retain infection without reacting to a skin test.
4. Wildlife. Be it from badgers, deer, alpacas, or other
sources, there is no doubt that wildlife is a threat.
The TBAS spent some time looking round the farm,

Chairman’s Report by Mark Sallis
O
ur annual AGM and quiz night was once again held
at Stratford cattle market albeit a little later in the
year than usual due to the weather in February,
prompting a postponement until March. This delay did
reduce the numbers slightly as many were now calving
and/or lambing, however an enjoyable night was had by all
that attended.
The AGM saw the following appointments for 2018
Chairman – Mark Sallis
Vice-Chairman – David Savins
Treasurer – John Fellows
Secretary – Amy Cox
It was very pleasing to see club members taking three
of the top four prices at the Worcester sale in May.
Congratulations to C.H Evans & Son on selling Wroxall
Happy Chappy, for the day’s top price of 5000 guineas, to
fellow club members C.M Mercer, for use in the Bowley
herd. Other notable prices were achieved by John Rixon
(Lopemede) and James Shouler (Alchester). The sale
at Worcester in May continues to go from strength to
strength and I anticipate the additional Autumn sale at
Worcester in 2019 will be equally as successful.
Unfortunately, the show season was very quiet for
club members this year. We have seen the dispersal of a
number of great herds who were very active on the show
circuit over the last couple of years, and other members
have elected to stay at home this year for a variety of
reasons. Hopefully next year will see us out in force.

Our annual Herd Competition was admirably judged
in September by Noah Hoskins, supported by our very
own Rob Hewlett, and we thank them both for generously
donating their time.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
After a busy show season in June and July, I attended
an NFU co-ordinated event at East Merkland in early
August, which was hosted very ably by the Dyet family. A
tremendous demonstration of stock was on show, and the
work ethos of the whole family was plain to see.
The Spring Sales dominated through until May, where
we attended the main NBA Beef event at Shrewsbury.
As gold sponsors for both NBA events, we expected,
and received, some excellent exposure for our money.
Considering it was late in the season for purchasing
breeding stock, our stand was very busy all day, and we
received some very positive enquiries.

this prestigious milestone. The venue at Carlisle market has
been chosen, and we will hold a show and sale and a dinner,
as well as farm open days. In 2020, all efforts will focus on
the anniversary event, and there will be no national shows.
I would like to ask all members to take part, and to put on
a show of cattle which will be the envy of all other breeds.
There is no need for me to remind members how very
important quality of stock is for this event.
Another major milestone to happen in 2019 is the
relocation of the Society office. Sounds easy as we are only
Michael Barlow
President
moving next door, but this involves moving fifty years worth
of documentation, and will cause a Neil and the ladies in the
office a great deal of extra work and stress. I would like to
ask all the members to be as supportive as they can during
this time. Sue Walley has recently left, and I would like to
thank her for her commitment to the Society, and wish her
all the best for the future.
Our young members stock judging finals last year
were held in Northern Ireland. A huge thank you must
go to the Robson family at Kilbride Farm for inviting us to
see such an outstanding herd, and Richard Rodgers and
family at Hiltonstown for hosting the stock judging finals
and displaying another wonderful herd of cattle. Our
appreciation goes to the office staff and Emma McInnes
for arranging this event. I have hosted one of these
events, and know just how much work goes in to making
them successful. Young members find these events very
interesting, and they are a great chance to meet breeders
of their own age. The Council continues to look at young
members and how to develop their skills within the Society.
Recently, three young members attended a Future Leaders
Course which they thoroughly enjoyed, and which led to
them taking part in their own British beef promotion video.
This was released before Christmas onto social media and
the Society website. It was very well received and clocked up
many thousands of views.
May I conclude by giving my sincere thanks to all Council
members, Neil and the office staff for their hard work
and support. I would like to end this message by saying
how fortunate we are to have such an enthusiastic Chief
Executive, who looks after the Society’s interests as if they
were his own.

IBR POLICY
GUIDELINES AND
SALE RULES.
The BSCS has championed animal health very strongly
in the past six years - highlighting health in breeding
cattle has been at the forefront of all our advertising
and promotional material.
In 2010 and 2011, some resistance was encountered
when rules were introduced requiring all vendors to be
members of CHeCS-approved health schemes, and to be
testing for Johnes and BVD. Time has proved this to be a
game-changing decision. In the past seven years, we have
the highest average price increases across all breeds and
consistently have the highest clearance rates at the Stirling
sales. Four times during this period we have sold more
bulls than the Charolais, most recently at the February 18
sales, something that was never achieved in the so-called
heydays of the 80s and 90s.
Clearly this is not all down to health status – the cattle
the breeders are producing and the marketing strategy
have improved – these are all part of the ‘total package’
which is driving the breed forward. As a Society, IBR is the
next logical disease to tackle, albeit with a full knowledge
of the complexity of the disease. We feel it is a vital step for
all members to discover what their individual IBR status is –
you cannot manage it if you don’t measure.
Whilst there are still a few AI centres that will purchase
bulls from a market, the Society felt it was completely
wrong to have all bulls tested and vaccinated, which
removes the potential sale to AI centres from breeders.
Between 80 and 90% of bulls sold at pedigree sales enter
the commercial herd. There is no reason why these bulls
should not undergo the same vaccination, quarantine and
test protocol. In light of this, the decision was made to
start with heifers only. A far higher percentage of heifers
sold through Society sales remain in pedigree herds, and
it was logical to protect the expanding or new herd. Whilst
we are aware we are not guaranteeing IBR-free cattle, we
are reducing the risk, and this is to be encouraged. Moving
forwards, this rule may be applied to bulls as well.
Around 60% of heifers sold at Society sales will go to
pedigree herds, and an IBR health requirement offers the
best chance (although not a guarantee) that the animal
is free from IBR and protected at the time of sale. The
purchaser should seek comfort from purchasing stock
that has been vaccinated with an inactivated marker
vaccine, been blood tested clear of wild-type IBR, and has
remained in quarantine since that date. The animal cannot
be presented as IBR-free, but this is deemed the best
course of action to minimise the risk of a purchaser buying
IBR into his herd. For Society testing and vaccination
requirements, a heifer remains so until she calves. The rule
will therefore apply to all maiden and in-calf heifers.
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a Bovine
Herpes virus. As with all Herpes viruses, once an animal
is infected, it remains so for life, despite the development
of a detectable immune response. The virus survives as a
latent infection in nervous tissue, and can be shed at any
time, especially when the animal is stressed.
Cattle are the main source of the virus; virtually all farms
with an IBR problem have bought it in. The main source
of the virus is not animals with disease, but animals that
have recovered from the disease – those that are latently
infected. You should not buy antibody positive cattle if you
are IBR-free.
Vaccination is an effective means of control, but this
does not stop infected animals from shedding the virus
at a later date. The aim of vaccination is to reduce the
intensity and duration of the disease, and to reduce
shedding of the virus. Vaccination will always be more
010 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
effective when used prior to exposure as prevention,
rather than as control following infection. An assortment
of vaccines, vaccine courses and routes of administration
are available. There are separate indications for managing
abortion and foetal infection with IBR, and also for calves
younger than three months old. Please seek veterinary
advice if this applies to your herd.
There are two main types of vaccine; live or inactivated
(dead). Within each category, there are marker and nonmarker
vaccines. A live vaccine is often used intra-nasally,
or into the muscle. The intra-nasal route will ensure
quicker protection, but the antibody levels are unlikely to
be as high. As the virus is live, it can theoretically replicate
in the animal and ‘infect’ unvaccinated animals. Inactivated
vaccines are never given intra-nasally, and cannot replicate
within the animal. Antibodies are generally high and long
lasting.
Marker vaccines were developed to allow differentiation
between cattle that are vaccinated and those that
have been exposed to wild-type virus. It’s impossible
to differentiate the non-marker vaccines from natural
exposure on a single blood sample. An animal vaccinated
with a marker vaccine and exposed to wild-type virus will
produce wild-type and vaccine antibodies. Antibodies
to IBR can be passed to the calf via colostrum. This will
have an impact on when calves are vaccinated, and blood
samples taken from calves could be antibody-positive for a
number of months.
The IBR vaccinated and monitored free
programme
This is applicable to herds which cannot achieve
full double fencing biosecurity requirements and
demonstrates that the herd is operating a marker
vaccination programme and is free from IBR infection
based on gE antibody testing. It is a lower level of health
status compared to IBR accredited free herds.
• With permitted exceptions all stock over 12 months
old should be marker vaccinated for IBR.
• Sale animals or animals for export or potential
AI should NOT be marker vaccinated and the
vaccination protocols should be discussed with your
vet.
• Two herd tests are carried out between 4 weeks and
12 months apart
• All animals over 12 months of age and nonhomebred
animals younger than 12 months are
eligible for testing
• If these 2 herd tests are clear then the herd is
accredited as vaccinated and monitored free.
IBR Accreditation Programme
• Review and upgrade herd biosecurity programme
to meet the rules of the scheme (see rules summary
or CHeCS technical document).
• Test all animals of twelve months and older and all
non-homebred animals.
• Where all animals test negative this is a clear first
qualifying herd test.
• The second qualifying test can be carried out 1-12
months later. A clear test at that time confirms
accredited status.
• Annual testing is required to maintain accredited
status. This is done on a statistically based sample
from each group of animals over 12 months of age.
• Vaccinated animals can enter accredited herds,
contact your CHeCS provider to confirm % of herd.
Sale rules regarding IBR
As of October 2016, all heifers need to be isolated at
least seven days prior to testing clear and vaccinated
with an IBR marker vaccine, an inactivated IBR vaccine is
preferred to live vaccine.
Test positive animals should be removed and the
process repeated 14 days following removal of test
positives.
Isolation facilities as per CHeCS or own country
government approved, Defra etc.
Cattle vaccinated as young calves can still be isolated
and tested for IBR wild type after vaccination, testing
differentiates between marker vaccine and actual virus, a
booster would then be required pre-sale.
Testing timeline pre-sale as per CHeCS- less than 12
weeks.
A heifer will be classed as such until the first calf is born.
Non-marker vaccines will not be accepted.
Entries from Accredited herds need only to be
vaccinated.
All vaccination dates and the type of vaccine used need
to be clearly stated on your HHD.
We accept and understand that this will not
guarantee that cattle going through a market will
remain IBR free but it is the first step in taking the
breed ahead of the competition regarding IBR.

VOLUNTARY
SEMEN TESTING
INITIATIVE COMMENCING
SPRING 2018.
To further promote the fertility of our
breed, from 1st January 2018 any
breeder selling (offering a bull for
sale) at a Society sale which has been presale
semen tested will receive £50 towards
the cost of the test from the Society on
receipt of a copy of the fertility report.
• The fertility report must include the
individual animal’s UK number, and the
full fertility report.
• Photo copies of originals and electronic
copies will be accepted.
The purchase of a bull can be the most
expensive individual livestock purchase a
commercial farmer will make, and can have
a serious negative impact on the profit of
their herd if he proves infertile. It can also
be a major reason for a purchaser not
returning to an individual breeder or even
breed.
Advantages;
• Comfort for both breeder and
purchaser that the bull is fertile.
• It will put Simmental breed ahead of
other breeds.
• Early identification of problem bulls
• Reduces risk of expensive post sale
claims
• Can reduce insurance premiums.
FAQs on Semen testing;
• It’s only a snap shot on one day? Yes
it is, but if he is fertile it confirms there
is no fundamental issue affecting his
fertility.
• He could become infertile after the
test? Yes, he could but the knowledge
that he has been fertile gives confidence
that any problems may be addressed,
eg infection.
• What if my best bull turns out
infertile? It is better to find out pre-sale
than after he has been sold.
• It’s expensive? It’s a small investment
adding value to your product.
• Electro ejaculations doesn’t assess
ability to serve? This is true but most
infertility claims are due to semen
quality.
• My vets don’t do it? There are large
number of vets and para-professionals
that carry out the service that will be
prepared to travel to you.
• It doesn’t guarantee the semen will
freeze? Correct but 90-95% of all bulls
sold at Society Sales are purchased by
commercial farmers to run and serve
cows naturally.
Testing timeline- ideally within 3
months of the sale, however 3-6 months
is acceptable. Semen testing is not a
warranty. It is a guarantee that on a given
day, a bull was producing an acceptable
quantity of viable semen with no defects
capable of settling cows in calf.
This voluntary initiative will run for a
minimum of two years.
012 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
ENTROPIES
Entropion is a condition where the
eyelashes contact the surface of one
or both eyes as a result of the eyelid
turning in, most commonly noted in the
lower lid. This can cause irritation and
weeping of the eye followed by clouding,
ulcers and ultimately blindness.
There are various ways to define the
condition. Primary entropion occurs
where there is too much eyelid skin for
the conformation of the skull and size
of eyeball. Secondary entropion is as
a result of another condition, such as
dehydration or pain. Secondary entropion
can also be defined as spastic entropion. It
is caused where pain on the surface of the
eye from a foreign body, such as straw, or
from trauma such as a halter injury causes
the defect.
Primary entropion is clearly a genetic
and heritable defect. Secondary entropion
is not necessarily a genetic defect but can
be as a result of a genetic predisposition.
By the very nature of the Simmental
breed - “large elastic eyelids, eyelashes are
standing in-front of more elastic, thicker,
frilled skin around the eyes”- there is a
predisposition to the development of the
condition. If it is likely that this can be
passed on genetically then animals with
this problem should not be retained for
breeding.
Surgical correction can be carried
out to correct entropion provided the
predisposing cause is also managed. This
is appropriate to alleviate suffering in the
animal but is not acceptable as a means
to disguise the condition to allow a bull
to be sold for breeding.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
JOHN MOORE
Although not brought up on a farm, I have been interested in
agriculture for as long as I can remember. Both my grandfathers
were farmers, so livestock breeding is in my blood, and even though
I was brought up in a country vicarage I always aspired to own my own
small farm business.
My father established the Omorga herd (Gaelic for Moore) in 1974 with
a heifer from Bertie Watterson, a cow from Alexander Cameron and two
heifers from a very young Bertie Houston in Donegal. The herd has grown
over the years to 40 cows, and we try to breed clean, muscly cattle with
commercial traits. Bulls and heifers are sold at home, but we also enjoy
selling stock at Stirling and the local Club Sales.
I studied Agriculture at Queen’s University Belfast, and now enjoy
working full time for the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise
(CAFRE) in Northern Ireland. I manage an excellent young team of advisers
who help to develop beef and sheep farmers in the province.
I enjoy serving the BSCS Council, and have made good friends in this
forum. I have been lucky enough to have judged our fantastic breed all
over Britain and Ireland, and enjoy meeting new and old friends in this
manner.
In my youth I enjoyed playing rugby, but now just work or farm. I like
travelling when I can and am also quite involved in our local church, and
local Show committee. I am married to Diane and have one 17 year- old
daughter Cara who enjoys cattle as well.

JIM GOLDIE
ONE OF OUR
Council Members
I
was born and brought up on a Dairy Farm in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
At the age of 16, I left school to work on the family farm with my
parents. My first interest in Simmental cattle came from helping my
then neighbours, Alan & Janet Marshall (Silverhills).
We moved to Newbie Mains, Annan, Dumfriesshire in 1993, where we
built up a herd of Pedigree Holstein Friesian cows to over 200 head plus
young stock. We classified, and milk recorded and through a lot of hard
work and dedication we managed to achieve 2nd highest production herd
on 2 X daily milking in Scotland 2002, at just under 11,000Kgs.
It was in 2004 that we (I say we but I mean myself and Patricia my now
wife!) started the ‘Newbiemains’ Simmental herd. Our first Simmental
heifer was a gift from Patricia’s father Alex Ross (Monaduff Simmentals),
Monaduff Rosebud. We continued by purchasing our type of females
through sales in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Southern
Ireland (not to discriminate!).
I have had a lot of help and advice from many Simmental Breeders up
and down the country but I have to say the late Hector Macaskill was a
big inspiration for me.
We are hoping to continue to take the Simmental Breed forward -
there is always room for improvement. With a little help from my sons (I
have four!) Andrew, Robert, Niall and of course ‘’wee’’ Jim, we will continue
to have a lot of fun and laughs along the way. We have been very
fortunate to meet a lot of fantastic people through the breed and also
make a lot of really good friends.

A message
FROM THE CEO
- Neil Shand
The first week of 2018 saw the untimely passing
of Hector Macaskill following an illness fought
with courage and dignity. Hector was President of
the Society when I joined, and guided the organisation
through a turbulent couple of years with a calm and
steely determination. He is credited with establishing the
stability within the organisation that we now have. Those
of us lucky enough to know him well were fully aware of
his charisma, his honest determination to succeed and his
continued efforts to improve his own herd. The success of
the two Woodhall sales will ensure that Hector’s breeding
lines will remain at the forefront of our breed for many
years to come. He was a great telephone companion on
late night drives as we discussed the merits of this bull
and that bull, and the demise of Glasgow Rangers. A good
friend lost, but never forgotten.
The weather in 2018 was, to say the least, a challenge.
The beast from the east provided us with some freezing
weather resulting in late turnouts, followed by droughts
which caused shortage of fodder crops. All this followed on
from a winter when stocks were used up. It will take at least
one more full season before the forage situation settles
down, and we can only hope for more seasonal weather and
less extremities in the forecast.
The prime cattle trade has been affected by the amount
of cheaper cow beef becoming available, as producers avoid
keeping empty and unproductive cows through a second
potentially expensive winter. Spring Sales in 2018 - Stirling
excluded - were bumpy for all breeds, and last year was not
the year to make major calls based on those trends. We
continue to report our sale averages as bulls/females sold
through the ring, unlike some of our major competitors. The
Stirling October sale saw our second highest October sale
average and a good clearance, with the Mendick Dispersal
also hugely successful.
The last five years have seen more dispersals and major
reductions than would have been ideal, and these have
a major impact on bull trade. It is a tremendous credit
to the breeders that we have continued to hold our own
considering the numbers of bull calves both at foot and
inside cows that we have sold recently. The success of all
these dispersals and reductions are clear testament to the
demand for the breed.
The quality of our cattle at sales continues to be very
good, but we can, and should, always strive to improve
further. Standing still in terms of quality would lead to us
moving backwards in comparison to other breeds. There
has been a significant lift in the number of herds being
classified this year, and it does no harm at all to have an
independent critic cast their eye over your cattle. As a tool
for increasing quality in your herd, classification is one of the
most important areas to focus on. In the past 18 months,
we have seen top commercial herds paying 15000gns and
18000gns for bulls at Stirling; confirmation that quality does
pay.
Looking ahead to 2019, we may see an outcome to Brexitbut
then again, we may not! The resilience of agriculture and
the need to feed the nation will help to ensure the stability
of the beef industry in the long term. However, this is out of
our control, and we should expect some small bumps along
the way until everything settles down.
Genomics remain a buzz word in our industry and we
are keeping a very close eye on the potential benefits
of DNA analysis and cattle performance. There are still
misconceptions regarding genomics. Before they can be
considered reliable, we need far more raw data to be
collected- for example weights and scanning information.
It is from this information that the genomic database is
constructed.
In the next 18 months, we will move offices and stage
our 50th anniversary celebrations, two of the biggest single
issues we will have dealt with as a breed office. As we work
towards these events, we will strive to continue to offer the
membership the best support we can.
Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2019.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
2018 was another year packed with promotional
events. We kicked off in February at Dungannon
market with the Northern Irish NBA event. Market
temperatures were well into the minuses as the first Beast
from the East came rolling in, but this didn’t appear to
affect attendance at the event. With enthusiastic support
from local club members and some tremendous cattle on
display, we were again awarded the best stand competition
- a positive start to the year.

The Spring Sales dominated through until May, where
we attended the main NBA Beef event at Shrewsbury.
As gold sponsors for both NBA events, we expected,
and received, some excellent exposure for our money.
Considering it was late in the season for purchasing
breeding stock, our stand was very busy all day, and we
received some very positive enquiries.

at Lanton Estate, Marley Knowe Farm, Wooler NE71 6TG
by kind permission of Ian & Tocky McKie. The main topic
of the day was the hardiness of Sim-Luing cows and the

and an informative and enjoyable day was had by all.

Agri–Expo was held on 2nd November at Carlisle market
– the start of the winter events. Once again, we had an
extremely good stand with an exhibition of commercial
cattle which were second to none. Following the trend of
the previous year, the footfall at this event appeared to be
down, giving the impression that even free-to-enter events
can run their course.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
Agri-fest at Westpoint Exeter, an event run by the South
West NBA, followed on November 7th. Although we do
need to have a presence at an event in the south west, I
have long campaigned that this event should be run every
two years; the attendance figures simply do not justify an
annual event. It appears that next year’s event will be run
by Devon County Show, and a decision as to whether or
not we will attend will be made in due course.

Our next stop was the English Winter Fair at Bingley
Hall in Staffordshire on 17th-18th November. Sunday is
the busier of the two days, but this is another event whose
future will be in question if the numbers do not improve.
Our stand was well-supported by the Midlands Club, and
the cattle were from our monitor farm – an absolute credit
to Ian Willison and to the breed
The final event was the Welsh Winter Fair on 25th and
26th November. This remains a hugely popular event for
commercial farmers, and the Monday was probably the
busiest day I have experienced at any event, although
Tuesday’s attendance did suffer a little as a result. Once
again, the cattle on the stand were a credit to both the
breeder and the breed, and they created a forum for easy
discussion with interested parties.

Thanks, and appreciation must go to the Northern
Ireland Club, South West Club and the North West
Club for their help and support at these events,
along with sincere thanks to those that provided
cattle for the stands; Mr & Mrs P B & J A Borlase, Ian
Willison, Anthony Hart, Jim & Patricia Goldie, David
& Rosemary Cornthwaite and Messrs Pearson. It’s
not an easy task sourcing cattle for these events, and
we were very fortunate to have access to extremely
good cattle this year, promoting what the breed
can achieve. Without your continued support these
events simply wouldn’t happen.

BREED PROMOTION
In order to remain at the leading edge of breed and sale
promotion, we have started using video to promote the
breed and individual sales. Using a powerful brand, we
can deliver a clear and bespoke message to commercial
customers near and far. These video productions are
timeless, and non-critical of other breeds and processes,
the most recent production being a big push on the
benefits of eating British red meat. We saw this as a means
of giving our commercial customers a boost by promoting
their produce. With regard to cost, these videos produce
a much better return in terms of pence per view. We shall
continue to advertise in the mainstream agricultural press,
but adverts will be less in number, smaller in size and more
targeted. This week’s press adverts are next week’s chip

Denmark Trip
2018
The stakes were
raised prior
to the young
members trip in 2017,
with the highest placed
individuals from each
home country winning
a trip to Denmark in
2018. The itinerary
included visits to some
well-known herds and
also to their national
show in Herning.
The winning young
members were; Andrew
Clarke - Northern
Ireland, James McKay
Wightman - Scotland,
Richard Cummings
- Wales and Harriet
Thomas-Mee from
England. Unfortunately,
Harriet couldn’t
make the trip due to
veterinary exams. On
Monday 2nd July, a
group of young to old
members set off on an
adventure to Denmark.
I think it’s fair to say
the trip was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who
attended. There is no
need for much more
narrative – the pictures
tell the story.

A DANISH ADVENTURE
Penny Lally July 2018
A group of us all met at Stansted
A gathering of Simmental folk
The weather exceedingly temperate
So hot, almost beyond a joke
Apart from a bit of a drama
A threesome just might miss the plane
They arrived, a bit flustered and breathless
Muttering ‘something was really a pain!’
Calm ensued, we landed at Aarhus
Then coached through Danish countryside
To the Herd of Jensen Hendrik Kvist
With a stock bull, ex AI bull ‘Guide’
Hendrik’s day job a busy ‘rat catcher’
His strong cows looked well in the dust
We had lunch and then off to our Hotel
Where a cold shower was really a must!
We had a wonderful dinner with Henning
Who gave us an informative talk
Then a certain few went off to the bars
And others enjoyed a quiet walk
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
First visit, day two, to Brian Anderson
Their Canadian Embryo bull ‘Fidal Lexus’ used
Good cows, then to see Henning’s cattle
Super lunch and Schnapps kept us amused!
We were then off to visit ‘the Dentist’
But stopped at a beach on the way
40k long and quite lovely, we paddled
The North Sea was so warm I must say
Stewart’s handkerchief, knotted, his new head gear!
Like a typical Brit when abroad
He had us laughing like fools at his antics
Then to the coach where we climbed back aboard
The Dentist’s herd, Stenbakken, was outstanding
Big easy fleshing long cows we admired
Bull ‘Linde General’ and ‘Stenbakken Krole’ looked well
With good calves that both of them sired
We went back to the Home of dear Henning
For a dinner under the shade of his trees
Such wonderful kind hospitality
Special memories made from times as these
Next day to the wellknown herd ‘Lykke’
Where their show animals still happily grazed
A feast for our eyes of fine cattle
The size of their heifers left us amazed
Langmose next, fine cattle and welcome ice cream
Then picnic at a stunning Fjord which was hot
Last herd ‘Linde’ cows and calves to be seen
We chatted with the family in their lovely spot
In evening a fabulous BBQ dinner
Sat around a long table was fun
Lots of laughs and then in the bar till quite late
Our wonderful trip almost done
The final day at the show was terrific
Mr Donnelly had a big task ahead
Judging an amazing array of fine cattle
He got the job right people said!
We had dinner with the exhibitors later
Most hospitable folk , now our friends
Thank you Henning so much we all loved it
We’ll be back!............now this ditty ends.
You will be familiar with some of the herd names we visited
during the trip, Birkegaard Simmental, Lykke Simmental,
Stenbakken Simmental, Rosa Simmental, Fedal Simmental,
Langmose Simmental, Linde Simmental.
Our sincere thanks go to Henning for organising the trip;
all the herds that kindly welcomed us, and the outstanding
hospitality that everyone provided.

A Farming Family’s
Commitment
to Suckler Beef
Production
Recognised
030 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
A
desire to build their business has
seen Aberdeenshire beef farmers
Gary and Angela Christie push cow
numbers in their suckler herd in readiness
for their son Adam joining the business in
future.
The dedication of the family, who
farm at Midtown of Glass near Huntly,
was recognised recently when they were
announced finalists in this year’s AgriScot
Scotch Beef Farm of the Year Award.
The aim of the award, run by AgriScot
and Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and
sponsored by Thorntons Solicitors, is to
showcase excellence in the production of
cattle in Scotland, and to raise the profile
of the dedication and stock management
skills behind the production of Scotch Beef
PGI.
The family run a pure Simmental and
Simmental cross suckler herd on their
157-hectare farm. They operate split
calving, with 100 cows calving in spring and
the remaining 35 in autumn.
Gary Christie commented: “The split
calving suits both labour and housing
availability and means we can always have
cattle to sell, which helps to manage the
cashflow throughout the year.”
In recent years, the family have
also developed a successful pedigree
Simmental herd that they manage
alongside the commercial herd. Having
only started to sell pedigree bulls in 2016,
they have achieved top prices of 14,000gns
and 13,000gns as well as a Reserve Overall
Simmental Championship Title at UA
Stirling in October 2017.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018

“The pedigree bulls have exceeded our
expectations in such a short time and it has
added another valuable income stream to
the business,” explained Mr Christie.
While the Christies clearly gain
enjoyment and satisfaction from their
pedigree cattle, the focus is undoubtedly
on maximising profit and efficiency in the
commercial herd.
“Heifers are calved at two years old
which gives us a quicker return financially.
Keeping heifers an extra year on the farm
without a calf is not cost effective. We also
find heifers are easier calved at two years
old and they have a better milking ability.”
A ten-week calving period for the spring
calving herd begins in the third week of
March and all spring calving is finished by
the end of May. Cows and calves are turned
out to grass around mid-May, depending
on the grass cover and weather.
Mr Christie explained: “The heifer
and bull calves are run in separate lots
once they are turned out. Creep feed is
introduced to the bull calves around mid-
July and to the heifers mid-August. Cows
and calves are grazed throughout the
summer and housed around the beginning
of November and calves are weaned three
weeks to a month later. When taken in for
the winter, cows and youngstock are fed a
total mixed ration which is made up for us
by SAC after the forage analysis is done.”
Weaning is delayed until there is a good
cold snap to help reduce the chances of
pneumonia developing in the calves. “By
weaning this way we rarely see issues with
pneumonia and do not find it necessary
to vaccinate calves as a result,” said Mr
Christie.
Health status is an important factor
and the farm has been a member of the
Hi-Health Scheme since 2007. The herd
has been BVD accredited since 2009 and
achieved Johnes Level 1 in 2014. Cows are
vaccinated against BVD, Leptospirosis and
Rotavirus.
The family also routinely select and test
12 yearlings from the group for IBR each
year and have never yet had an animal test
positive.
Post weaning, calves remain split by
sex with the bull calves taken through to
finishing as entire bulls at 12-15 months at
400-420kg deadweight.
Mr Christie said: “To maximise carcase
values we aim to get as close to the weight
limits as we can without going over. Bulls
are weighed every three weeks in the
finishing period and are selected when they
meet the correct specifications.”
He added: “We find selling deadweight to
be the best option for us, particularly when
selling prime bulls. We value the feedback
we get from the abattoir on our cattle and
regularly speak with procurement staff to
ensure we are producing cattle that meet
their requirements.”
The Christies keep some of their heifers
as replacements, and the rest are sold to
other suckler herds for breeding. “There is
always good demand for these and they
are sold privately to regular customers.
Heifers which are not suitable for breeding
are finished on the farm” said Mr Christie.
All herd records are maintained using
a software package, and the recording of
births, movements, deaths and weights
on the system gives them a clear picture
of herd performance at any given point in
time.
All stock bulls are checked by a vet
annually and are semen tested to ensure
that the bulls are fertile and healthy when
they are turned out with the cows.
In a bid to maximise profits further Gary
and Angela have recently begun using
digestate from a local anaerobic digester
as fertiliser for their grassland with a
predicted saving of 75% on annual fertiliser
costs.
“This is just one of a number of
032 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
innovative measures we have introduced
to reduce our costs wherever we can.
Another is to finish male calves as prime
bulls rather than steers which will save
approximately one tonne of feed barley per
head,” said Mr Christie.
He added: “Both this and the fertiliser
saving will help reduce the environmental
impact of our beef enterprise. Participation
in the Beef Efficiency Scheme also helps us
to focus on the decisions being made.”
In recent years, the Christies have
invested in modern buildings for cattle
housing and feed storage, and have also
purchased an additional 40 hectares to
allow for expansion of the business in the
future.
The family is undoubtedly committed to
a future in beef farming and are developing
their herd to be as efficient, profitable
and sustainable as it can be for future
generations.

Sheeted Gate
A Member’s
Answer
to TB
In November 2018, DEFRA released a report reviewing
the Government’s 25-year strategy with regard to
Bovine Tuberculosis (TB). The review included major
recommendations to help meet the challenge of preventing
spread of the disease, and in particular for farmers to have
a duty of care to protect their own livestock against the
threat of TB. General diseases of cattle, such as BVD and
IBR are relatively easy to manage and eradicate; the source
of any infection can be culled, and a vaccination program
put in place. Unfortunately, these choices are not available
in the case of TB, and other options need to be considered.
We farm in a high-risk area, and TB is in evidence in the
locality. Two years ago, we decided to take the bull by the
horns, and look into what we could do to secure our cattle.
First up was a detailed risk assessment. This was done
by walking the land boundaries and looking for badger
incursion; setts, latrines and runs. Whilst most of the fields
showed no signs of incursion, a single field, set some four
miles away from the farm, had evidence of badger activity.
A search of the area located two setts within a mile of the
field. Around this time, the TB Advisory Service (TBAS)
were advertising for farmers in the high risk area to call on
their services. We decided there was nothing to lose, and
booked an appointment.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
Main Electric Fence
The TBAS identifies four main sources of infection;
1. Brought-in cattle. This can be cattle which have
been purchased at a market or privately, your own
cattle which have left the holding for a show or
those which return unsold from the market.
2. Neighbouring cattle. However biosecure and
health conscious you are, if your cattle have noseto-nose
contact with other cattle, there’s a risk.
3. Latent infection. The TB skin test does not have
absolutely 100% detection rate, and animals can
retain infection without reacting to a skin test.
4. Wildlife. Be it from badgers, deer, alpacas, or other
sources, there is no doubt that wildlife is a threat.
The TBAS spent some time looking round the farm,
noting current biosecurity, hazards and TB history. They
define biosecurity as measures, or a series of measures,
which reduce the risk of disease; in livestock terms, this
is based on the premise that prevention is better than
cure. We were presented with a chart showing what
percentage risk each of the categories above currently
posed. In our case, we run a closed herd, and although we
show cattle, they are always isolated and tested before
rejoining the herd. We are largely bordered by roads,
rivers and railways, and the only field with neighbouring
cattle has a minimum 6 metre gap. At this time, we had
one non-homebred animal in our herd, and although this
had passed four years worth of TB testing, a 5% risk was
allocated. Which left us with a whopping 95% of our risk
being allocated to wildlife.
It was very clear from this that the responsibility to
protect our cattle from wildlife threat lay with us. We had
Main Electric Fence

spent several years vaccinating and testing to achieve elite
accreditation, so it seemed imperative that we use any
means necessary to protect against the threat of TB.
TBAS recommend a five point plan, which we followed
religiously. Having some of the recommendations in place
already – for example fencing off all watercourses – we
set about the remainder of the list, following the advice
from TBAS of ‘majoring on the major, and minoring on the
minor’. The major issue to us was obviously the wildlife
concern, and in particular the local badger population.
Restrict wildlife access. Providing the setts are outside
the field boundaries, the easiest way to prevent badger-tocattle
contact is to prevent badgers from accessing grazing
land. Fortunately for us, our fields do not contain any setts,
and we looked at prevention of access by a combination
of fencing, closing gaps and sheeting gates. The original
plan was to dig fences down into the ground to prevent
access, but we were informed that strategically placed
electric fence would be a much more effective deterrent.
The fence has to be spaced at 10cm, 15cm, 20cm and 30cm
from the ground. The boundaries of the land are very
uneven, and we used fence stakes to pull the wire down
where required. Where there was evidence of badger
entry points, an extra strand was put in place at 40cm. All
gaps need to be less than 7.5cm, and gates were covered
with galvanised sheeting. For extra security, concrete can
be laid under gateways, but our gateways are fairly hard
standing and this wasn’t considered necessary. We thought
it might not be the best idea to run high voltage wires
around the edges of the catching pens, so this was done
with sheeting too.
Maintenance of the fence is imperative to ensure it is
working to its full potential. Two of our fields are mains
fenced, one is on a battery fencer. They are checked
daily using a hand-held fence tester, (or occasionally on
someone’s legs) and once a week the fence perimeters are
walked so short-outs can be heard, located and rectified,
and any evidence of incursion can be spotted. Once every
few months or when needed, the boundaries are strimmed
to keep the grass down.
Manage feed and water. Although our risk assessment
showed absolutely no evidence of badgers at the farm,
we decided that many of the recommendations would be
great practice. These mainly involved preventing wildlife
access to anything consumed by the cattle. Feed and
water troughs have been raised, and are cleaned out and
disinfected regularly. We mix and roll our own feed, so
grain bins have been fitted with removable secure lids.
The shed has had metal roller shutter doors fitted, and all
entry gaps have been sealed. The personnel door has been

secured with a self-closing unit. We feed a TMR, and clamp
silage is used. The danger from our grass silage is minimal,
but we keep it well covered and tidy. Our watercourses are
all fenced off, and a bridge connects adjoining parts of one
field that is split in two.
Neighbouring cattle. Reducing the risk from your
neighbour’s animals is imperative. All your precautions
are worth very little if the less-than-careful next-door
neighbour’s playful limmy crosses can achieve nose-tonose
contact with your animals. Fortunately, the vast
majority of our land is very isolated from other livestock,
either because of its location or because of boundaries
with roads, rivers or railways. Where there is neighbouring
cattle, the fencing gap exceeds 6 metres due to stone
pathways, although 3m is considered adequate. There is
no shared grazing with either other cattle or other species.
Stop infected cattle entering the herd. This doesn’t
just cover the risk from dodgy Dave’s mongrel crosses
purchased from the market, but also from returning cattle,
either unsold from market or
returning from shows. We have a
closed herd, and use AI, so have
no risk from bought-in cattle. Our
show animals are kept separate
for the season in the isolation unit
and garden paddock, and then
tested after a suitable interval
before rejoining the herd.
set up. There is a permanent foot dip, and everyone is
asked to use it before visiting the cattle. All areas are kept
clean and tidy, and equipment is cleaned after use. The
cattle sheds are cleaned out regularly, disinfected and
are painted annually by the person who has the lowest
summer workload....
Although we may initially have been sceptical about how
successfully an electric fence could prevent badger access,
it really has worked. A bi-annual risk assessment of the
field with previous badger activity has shown no sign of
unwanted visitors at all.
Our key performance indicator is a small allotment
fenced carefully into one corner. For seven long years,
the allotment owner has cursed and vilified our black
and white furry friends as his attempts to grow maize for
his table have been scuppered. Post electric fence, the
maize has thrived, and harvest has been celebrated in
all quarters, both with great tasting sweetcorn and with
continuing clear annual TB tests which are against the
general experience in the area.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
Minimise infection from
manure. The M.bovis bacteria has
been shown to survive in muck
for up to six months. It is killed by
sunlight, so storing outside will
ensure it is quickly destroyed. The
site of the muck heap should be
fenced off from cattle with electric
fence, away from drains and on
flat land. We have allocated an
area of one field for muck storage,
which has been fenced off. The
muck is stored in rotation from
year to year – pretty much like
stock rotation at the supermarket
- so we know which is ready to
be spread. Spreading muck from
other farms and using external
equipment is a high risk game,
and to be avoided.
General housekeeping. Aside
from the recommendations of
the TBAS, there are some basic
but obvious measures that are in
place. Boots and outer clothing
are kept clean, and external taps
and a wash station have been

CLASSIFICATION
FOR BRITISH SIMMENTAL CATTLE
What a privilege it is to write a few lines in the
Simmental Journal.
It is now some 3 years since the Simmental Cattle Society
ventured into Type Classification. I was fairly confident
the scheme would be a success, one of the reasons being
that all Simmental breeders that were in dairying before
they went into beef were in favour of classifying because
they knew the advantages it would bring to the breed.
The scheme certainly identifies the strengths and
weaknesses in your cows. If you make use of all the
information that is available after your herd is classified,
then you will find it is a great advantage to help you in
selecting bulls in AI or purchasing a stock bull.
The last year has certainly seen a number of new herds
coming on board. The more cows that are scored the
better because it will give a clearer picture of the quality
of cows around the country.
As a team of classifiers, we are very impressed with what
we are seeing, the milking ability of the Simmental cow
and the way she feeds her calf. As breeders you are to be
congratulated!
I think legs & feet are the main traits that some breeders
need to be careful and concentrate on, certainly when
buying stock bulls.
If any of your clubs or a group of individuals ever want a
talk or have a demo on a farm (which is better than a talk)
then just let us know.
Good luck to you all and keep breeding good cows.
Thanks

IVP: cost effective
and welfare friendly
In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP) is proving to be a
cost-effective welfare friendly service for an expanding
number of pedigree beef breeders. Offered by specialist
artificial breeding technology company AB Europe,
the process combines donor oocyte (eggs) collection,
maturation and fertilisation, followed by a culture period
and then either transfer or freezing of subsequent
embryos.
AB Europe vet, Gavin Tait outlines what pedigree
breeders can expect.
• The IVP process is currently averaging approximately 10
oocytes (unfertilized eggs) per donor.
• IVP averages two to three embryos per donor each
collection depending on cow, management and season.
• Collections can be done every week, compared to
MOET flushing where a collection occurs once a month.
• We can collect from a cow in around 15 minutes -
setting up takes most of the time, so it’s a relatively
quick process.
• Multiple bulls can be used over one donor depending
on oocyte numbers.
• Collections can be done four weeks post calving, and
with pregnant donors up to 12 weeks of gestation.
• There is no line up programme or need for drug use
or FSH in the donors who tend to get back in calf very
easily.
• Some cows are consistently producing four or more
embryos every week, others will produce between
one and two. Occasionally we also will produce 12 or
more usable embryos in one week. Cows tend to be
consistent in the
number of oocytes
/ embryos they
produce each week -
it is possible to select
high yielders.
• Semen is vital to
the programme’s
success. Once we
identify a batch
which works well,
it will tend to do
so consistently,
and vice versa.
We may be able
to help advise
on ‘good’ or ‘bad’
batches of semen
based on previous
experience.
Gavin Tait
Robert Macgregor
is amongst a
growing number of
Simmental breeders
who are successfully
using IVP to exploit
some of their herd’s
best genetics. So far,
he has implanted 10
embryos resulting
in four live calves by
Team Celtic 11 - three bulls and one heifer,
and he says he found the process to be simple,
welfare friendly and cost effective.
“IVP was very straight forward. No prep was
required, no drugs, no line up, no stress. We simply
brought the two cows in from the paddock, Gavin
turned up and the job was done within 60 minutes.
The collection resulted in 35 oocytes in total; we
used three different bulls. The overall result was 11
embryos; we froze them until the recipients were
ready; we implanted in 10 heifers and achieved the
four calves.”
Robert says IVP’s advanced technology is
enabling him to draw on some of the best
Simmentals from his Team herd of 70 breeding
females based at Kirkton of Mailer, Perth.
“Team Misty 5 was one of the two donors;
she is amongst the best females I’ve bred since I
established the herd 30 years ago - she is within
the breed’s top 5%, a Royal Highland reserve junior
interbreed champion and one of her bull calves
made 5,000gns. A point came when she wouldn’t
hold, I tried MOET which proved to be unsuccessful,
and she was ready to go away when I heard about
and moved on to IVP.
“The two bulls we used over the collection
included Team Celtic 11 who is also within the
breed’s top 1% and trait leader for 200, 400 and 600
day weights; we sold him to Wolfstar for 11,000gns
in 2012, and Celtic’s first eight sons sold at auction
averaged 10,500gns.
“The three IVP bulls by Team Celtic 11 are
scheduled for Stirling in 2019, and we anticipate
there will be considerable interest.” He adds:
“Overall, the project has been such a success, we
have had no hesitation agreeing to take a second
collection from Misty in 2019.”

IVP delivers all the benefits of traditional MOET in enabling Simmental breeders to exploit the value of their high
genetic merit animals, however it has many more advantages which in turn result in IVP being a more time
efficient, more cost effective and more welfare friendly service for your donors. AB Europe provides both an onfarm
and on-centre collection service performed by highly skilled, experienced and approachable staff.

My trip to
THE AZORES
Some of the people
Tom has to thank
Dargill Gemma with a heifer

Dargill Helen in Sao Jorge
I
was asked by Neil Shand if we would
be prepared to invite some Simmental
breeders from overseas to Dargill for a
farm visit. In October 2016, we welcomed
around 20 visitors from the Azores to the
farm. Fortunately, two of their number
could speak better English than I could
speak Portuguese, so Jenna Pereira and
Maria Simas were able to translate for us.
The aim of their visit was to look at our
stock to see how the British Simmental
differed from their cattle, and to compare
different practices. As the visit went on, it
became clear that some were interested in
buying cattle for export.
In February 2017, 12 heifers and two
young bulls were sent on an epic adventure
to the Azores. The journey took twelve
days by road and sea; we were kept up to
date with photos of their journey along the
way. I kept in touch with Jenna and Maria
on social media; it was interesting to see
news of how the animals were settling in. In
time, Evelyn and I were invited to visit the
Azores to see the progress of the animals
for ourselves. In July 2018, we travelled to
our base on Sao Miguel island and stayed
in Ponta Delgada for two weeks. There are
nine islands in the Azores, so there was
plenty of island hopping to enable me to
see all the cattle.
On Monday morning, I left for Pico, and
stayed in a B & B for the week. I was met
by Jenna, who gave me a tour round the
island, and we then caught up with Maria to
plan our schedule.
Tuesday morning saw a ferry ride to
Faial Island, where we were met by our
guide for the day. Most of the cattle on this
island are tethered and they looked in good
condition. The first two heifers I saw had
calved. Unfortunately Feltra had lost her
calves at birth, but Gemma had a heifer
calf at foot, and I was very impressed. We
then went on to see a heifer from Overhill
House herd, and a young bull from Dargill.
The bull had been used on the cattle as
soon as he arrived, so he had not grown
on in the way I was expecting, but he had
lots of good calves running round. At this
point, I realised that an open mind on the
differences in farming practice in the two
countries was required. I should stress
that they do not feed concentrates to their
cattle as it is so expensive to buy; cattle
are fed on maize silage in the winter, and
kept outside. Before we headed back to
Pico, our guide took us on a trip to see a
050 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
Faial Harbour
Erupted volcano on Faial
Nice view down the side of
the mountain in Sao Jorge
Dargill Hoss with cows in Pico
volcano that last erupted in 1957. It had
been turned into a museum, and was very
educational and interesting.
On Wednesday morning, we took the
ferry to the longest island, Sao Jorge. We
were met by Jorge Rocha, who has 60
dairy cows and who bought five heifers.
We left the ferry for his farm, calling in to
a friend of his on the way. He has a small
herd of Limousin cattle, which were very
impressive. We headed off to view Jorge’s
dairy herd, which were not as tall as our
Holsteins, but good cattle just the same.
Lunch was at Jorge’s house; I have never
seen so much food on the table to feed ten
people – I wish I had taken a photo! After
lunch, we headed off to see his suckler
herd, and his pure Simmentals, which
looked very impressive. His cattle were not
tethered, although the occasional young
bull was. We were also taken on a tour of
the island; we headed down a road on the
side of a cliff, and ended up burning out
the brakes on the car. This didn’t seem to
concern Jorge, we just carried on to the
dairy factory where they produce a special
cheese you can only find on the island. We
returned to finish off lunch, to which Jorge’s
wife had added two more main dishes and
two more puddings! The tremendous food
really does deserve a special thank you! Full
of food, we headed back for the ferry, by
which time it was almost dark.
Thursday was a later start, so I decided
to have breakfast at the B & B. Banana
and honey with cold rice pudding was not
what I had expected, but it tasted very
good. Early afternoon, I was picked up by
Jenna to look at our other bull, who was
at the farm of Jose Silva. He had bought
the bull to run with some females that
he had imported from Southern Ireland.
This bull had not been used as quickly,
and had grown on to a larger size; some
of his calves on the ground looked very
promising. Some of the breeders had been
sent in the wrong genetic direction, and, as
a result, the cows were lacking milk.
Jenna took me to see some of the feed
lots that the family run, and they explained
that there were only two main buyers of
meat on the islands, therefore pricing is
almost fixed by the purchasing groups.
All males are kept entire, and killed for
veal at 10 months of age. The remainder
of the meat, including steaks, are from
females over the age of three, which would
normally have had a calf first.
On Friday morning, Jenna arrived early to
drop me off with Maria. She was involved in
organising her local cattle show, and would
catch up with us later in the day. Maria’s
husband Jose, is very proud of his herd of
Simmental, Charolais and Limousin cattle,
which are grazed up in the mountains all
over the island. Maria and Jose spend their
days going from one side of Pico to the
other, crossing over mountains, covering
a large distance to see their cattle. The
cattle themselves were in good condition
considering the dry climate, and there
was a very good bull calf which they were
considering keeping for breeding.
The three islands are all different in
landscape and farming practices. Farmers
on Faial appeared to have smaller pieces of
land, hence the cattle were tethered. They
seemed to have more grass than arable,
but it was still very fertile. Sao Jorge was
more like our own landscape, with the
added bonus of grass that grows all year
round. Pico was a large mountain covered
with ash with a small covering of earth,
and appeared to have the most difficult
conditions in which to raise cattle.
A group of us talked at length about
how to improve the breed out there.
The islanders are fully aware that
improvements need to be made, and are
talking about coming back to the UK in the
future.
I would like to thank Jenna and Maria for
all their hard work and organisation, and to
everyone who took the time to meet with
me during my visit. Your hospitality was
second to none.

RED OAK
SIMMENTALS AT
By George Coles
Back in August we attended Countryfile
Live with some of our cattle - Grace
and her calf James Bond, Elizabeth
our pet Simmy X heifer and Mayflower,
a pedigree Red Angus. We were in the
Passion for Farming/Adam’s Farm Area,
which gives the public the chance to see
livestock up close and ask us questions
about what we do and about our animals.
The idea of the Ask the Farmer section is
to get real life farmers talking directly to
members of the public and answering all
their questions.
Countryfile Live is held at Blenheim
Palace in Oxfordshire. It is not an
agricultural show, and is not advertised
as one, and is attended by all the BBC
Countryfile Team plus some other famous
faces. The event attracts over 120,000
people over 4 days; most of these are not
from the farming community, and for some
it is the first time they have seen livestock up
close. The look on some people’s faces when
they see how big the cattle are is a picture,
it’s even better when they get to touch them!
We showed our cattle in the ring, and
held question and answer sessions with the
public, covering everything from the breed
to the show stick. Once a day I was also
involved in a question and answer session
with a vet from Hook Norton Vets. I took
a cow out into the ring and we discussed
everything from dog control and poo issues,
health of the animals, the use of new
052 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
technology, including my thermal imaging
cameras, and we even treated two calves
who had the start of poorly eyes due to
fly strike. We also had Jack Walton carry
out a fake auction each day to show how
pedigree cattle are sold; Grace reached just
below £200,000 at one of the auctions (if
only!)
Some of the questions and comments
we were getting were:
What is a Simmental and where is it from?
I didn’t know they were so big!
How does using embryos work?
What does a X animal mean?
And the best of all - How do you tell a
heifer from a bullock?!
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
Many farmers are not fans of the BBC
and the program Countryfile (me included
on the BBC) but this event is the only one I
know of where the majority of the people
are not from farming backgrounds. This was
my second year; last year I met the Waker
family and helped to get Alfie started on his
road in agriculture. Since introducing him
to the Aberdeen Angus youth development
program he has gone from strength to
strength and now his brother Charlie is also
starting to get involved. I still see them when
I can and am in regular contact with them.
This year I met another family who luckily
live close to me; it was their daughter’s
dream to milk a cow, so for her 18th
birthday I arranged for her to go to a friend’s
dairy farm and milk a cow.
Throughout the 4 days, we talked to
hundreds of people about what we do and
how we care for our animals. With the large
amount of focus currently centred on the
vegan movement, and negative content on
social media, it is good to be able to spread
positive news.
This event really does give us the chance
to shout about how good we are at what
we do to the end user. I was interviewed by
local radio and said “it does not matter if you
buy a burger from McDonalds or steak from
Tesco, without the general public on board
with us we have no customer”.
In 2019 there are going to be two
events, one in Oxfordshire and the other in
Yorkshire. I will be there again next year and
it would be good if we could perhaps get
the Society and more members involved?
Although very tiring, it is a cracking event to
be involved with and at the end of the day
you only need one Alfie a year to make it
worthwhile!!

Premium Cattle Health Scheme
Conflicting Test Results for Johne’s Disease
It is not uncommon to have an animal that tests blood antibody positive for Johne’s Disease
and then when followed up with a faecal culture or PCR test, the results are negative. Under
CHeCS rules a herd can maintain or even improve its risk level status from the faecal culture/
PCR results, but what do you do with the individual positive animal? Always bear in mind that
the blood test positive identifies that the animal is high risk and that the Johne’s bacteria can
be intermittently shed in the faeces.
Our general advice is that these animals are considered high risk and should be isolated and
then removed from the herd. For high genetic merit animals, embryo transfer or ova pick up
techniques remain an option to preserve specific genetic lines. If you wish to discuss specific
scenarios, please discuss this with your PCHS vet.
Bovela Vaccine for BVD
You may be aware of the new Bovela vaccine for BVD which is now on the market, which
is a live double deleted (L2D) vaccine. Due to its live attenuated nature, the strong immune
response results in a significantly higher antibody level than with use of killed vaccines. This
has some implications for diagnostic and herd screening testing which can be easily managed
in the following ways:
• Check testing can still be performed as recommended from nine months of age, with the
reminder that vaccination must be performed after the check test has been carried out
• Farms that want to use Bovela from three months of age for young stock protection can
also achieve CHeCS accreditation by tissue tagging and testing every calf born
• It is recommended that antigen screening in blood or milk is carried out prior to vaccination
or a minimum of 21 days after vaccination
• If using bulk milk PCR testing it is advised to test prior to vaccination or after 21 days
• Bulk milk antibody testing will remain strongly positive in Bovela vaccinated herds and will
not be a reliable testing method going forward
If you have any further questions on testing options please contact the lab to discuss further.

The majority of tests are UKAS accredited, providing
an extra level of confidence in the results that are given
for testing. Our standard practice is that all submitted
samples are preceded by a control sample. As the control
sample has known values, this allows our technicians to
ensure that the lab equipment is correctly calibrated and
that the correct methodology is being used in order to get
accurate results. This commitment to consistency and
accuracy is an advantage over non-UKAS accredited labs
that offer similar tests and gives us further confidence in
the service we provide.

Wales
Gwaredu BVD — Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Eradication
The Welsh Eradication Programme is a three year industry
led voluntary scheme launched in September 2017 and is
financed by the Welsh Government. It is designed to fit
around TB testing. The vet takes 5 blood samples from each
group of animals 9 – 18 months old. The results and next
steps are then discussed with the vet at the reading of the
TB test. The initial blood sampling is free and if any results
come back positive then the farmer will be supported up
to the value of £500 to conduct a PI hunt. There has been
a positive response with 5000 farms in Wales (40%) taking
up this opportunity. The project is running for 3 years. The
programme will launch an online educational package, a
trading database and an online biosecurity package during
2018. PCHS members in Wales should not have to pay for
their screening test while the project is running.

Scottish BVD eradication scheme
The scheme was launched in September 2010 and kickstarted
by 4000 herds taking advantage of subsidised
screening from Scottish Government – £36 for testing and
£72 for a PI hunt. This was followed by mandatory screening
in Phase 2 and Control Measures in Phase 3. Now at Phase
4 it includes enhanced testing and movement restrictions
introduced from 1 st June 2015. Keepers of breeding herds of
cattle in Scotland must have their herds screened every year
by either check testing to determine BVD exposure or testing
all calves born on the holding for virus. Non-breeding herds
must test all calves born on the holding before they are 40
days old. Farmers are required to test replacement animals
from untested herds; movement restrictions are imposed on
“not negative” herds and there is a ban on knowingly moving
BVDV infected cattle. The scheme currently involves 11,300
herds representing 1.7 million cattle. Approved labs send
results to a national database www.scoteid.com Phase 5 is
being introduced early 2019 with increased pressure on ‘not
negative’ and ‘positive’ herds.

BVDFree England
This is a voluntary industry-led scheme aiming to identify and
remove all persistently infected (PI) animals from the English
cattle herd by 2022. The scheme is built around a national
database (www.bvdfree.org.uk) which is searchable for the
BVD status of individual animals and herds tested under the
scheme. Famers must register with BVDFree to enable their
herds’ BVD test results to be uploaded to the database and
there is a small charge for this. Individual animal BVD status can
be found by entering a UK tag number or a herd’s BVD status
can be found using the CPH number. This provides farmers
with recognition, confidence and traceability when buying and
selling BVDFree cattle. CHeCS accredited herds (from all over
the UK) can register and display their BVD herd status for ‘free’
on their database and don’t need to be a member of BVDFree.
An electronic form giving PCHS permission to upload BVD herd
status is available at www.cattlehealth.co.uk/bvdfree
Acceptance of other labs’ results for
BVD tissue tags: We can accept one
year’s worth of tests from another
UKAS accredited lab to count towards
a herd’s accreditation. A signed
declaration from the owner of the
herd and their vet is also required to
confirm the animal’s identity and that
the biosecurity rules have been followed.
Did you know: BVD testing results from
English herds can be uploaded to the
ScotEID database if you are intending to
sell animals into Scotland. Let our lab
know that you want your results to be
added at the time of testing as there is
a charge for adding them retrospectively.

Northern Ireland
BVD Eradication Programme
A voluntary phase started on 1 st January 2013 followed by a
compulsory phase from 1 st March 2016, requiring all calves to
be tested for BVD virus. The eradication scheme is based on
testing ear punch samples for BVD virus using official identity
or management tissue tags. Farmers join the programme by
ordering tissue sample tags from a designated tag supplier.
Permission is obtained from the herd owner to share their herd
data and results for the administration of the programme and
farmers undertake to comply with the programme guidelines.
Calves should be tagged as soon as possible after birth (as
soon as the calf is dry) and not later than 20 days after birth.
All aborted and stillborn calves should be sampled for testing.
For those animals born during the compulsory phase of the
programme, only those testing negative are permitted to move
off the farm to another farm, market or Export Assembly Centre.
All PI calves should be isolated until culled or slaughtered.
Participating farmers can access data recorded for their herd
through the AHWNI database (www.animalhealthni.com)

Following the announcement of DEFRA’s Stamp
Out BVD campaign, SAC Consulting has opened
registration for vet practices across England. This
campaign provides funding for vets to go out on farm
and discuss on a one to one basis the risks of BVD and
undertake some testing to investigate the presence of
the disease within a herd.
Per farm there is funding of £61.80 for check tests,
and in limited circumstances this can open up access
to a further £440 to undertake a PI hunt. This project
sits alongside BVDFree in its aim of getting farmers to
declare their BVD status.

Buying
Guide
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
Although keeping a closed herd is the best way to keep
disease off your farm, this isn’t always possible. Buying
replacements can be a risky business; a healthy looking
animal may be carrying disease. Don’t be afraid to
ask direct questions about an animal’s health status.
One wrong assumption can lead to a crippling disease
outbreak and devastate profits on your farm. Here
are some recommendations for best practice when
purchasing replacement animals:
• Buy replacements (including bulls) from CHeCS
accredited herds
• Check herd status of PCHS
members on our online
members database
• If you are given a certificate
of accredited status check
that the herd is within the
testing date to see if CHeCS
accredited status is still valid
• Isolate purchased stock on
arrival for at least one month.
Purchasing animals through
markets and transportation poses a potential disease risk
so quarantine and test animals before they join the herd
• If you are buying in pregnant animals quarantine them on
arrival and tissue tag the calf for BVD as soon as it is born
before mixing with the rest of the herd
• Try to buy accredited high health status bulls – otherwise
quarantine and test before introducing to the herd
• Screen your herd for disease – when buying animals of
a high health status, it is worth knowing if your own herd
has any disease issues. High health status purchased
stock won’t perform if they are exposed to a heavy
disease burden in their new home. In this situation it is
worth discussing vaccination of incoming stock with your
vet
• Follow the correct biosecurity procedures for transporting
cattle, it is not worth buying a healthy animal only for it to
pick up a disease on the journey home
If purchasing stock of unknown health status:
• Ideally test on the farm of origin before bringing them
home
• If stock are brought home they should be isolated for
at least 28 days from the rest of the herd and tested
according to which diseases your herd is accredited for
• Any animals that test positive for IBR or Leptospirosis
should be removed from the quarantine group and then
test the group again 28 days later. If the group tests
negative they can be introduced to the home herd.
You must decide if you wish to
accredit all stock on the holding or
keep newly acquired stock separated.
If you keep two separate herds you
must be sure to follow biosecurity
guidelines otherwise the accredited
herd will lose its status. Keep hold
of your certification and contact the
PCHS Team at St Boswell’s who will
be able to guide you and your vet on
next steps to registering your herd.
It is also worth considering:
• Planning ahead your purchases for the year, what type of
animals will be bought and what time of year, allowing you
to plan effective quarantine and control measures
• Buying in as few animals as possible. Planning ahead
may allow you to increase numbers or get enough
replacements from your own herd rather than having to
rely on purchasing and adding more risk
• Buying from as few herds as possible. The more
herds you buy from the greater the risk of introducing
disease. Buying 50 cattle from one herd is potentially
a lot lower risk than buying 20 cattle from a number of
different herds. If possible try to buy from the same
herds year after year, allowing you to build a relationship
with the owner and get to know their health status and
management practices.

Johne’s Disease and TB Test
Reminder: There is an interaction
between the skin test for TB and the
blood test for Johne’s disease. Animals
that have been tested for TB by the
skin test are more likely to test
positive for Johne’s disease – avoid
confusion by ensuring that the Johne’s
herd test is not carried out within the
three months following a TB test. For
herds on 60 day testing for TB, testing
should be done as late as possible after
a TB skin test and any reactors will
need to be retested by faecal PCR.
Reminder: If you require a sale card please contact
our office at least two weeks before it is needed (six
weeks if testing is also required). The application form
can be downloaded from our website. Accreditation
certificates are sent out after testing has been
completed and further copies can be requested any time
if needed.

Advantages of being
in the
CHeCS bTB Scheme
Changes announced by Defra in May 2018 - England
• Compensation – from 1 st November 2018, 50%
compensation will be available for animals brought into
a TB breakdown herd which then fail a TB test. This will
mirror what already happens in Wales. However, cattle
keepers registered and participating in CHeCS TB Herd will
continue to receive 100% compensation for compulsorily
slaughtered cattle, provided the herd is accredited (with a
score of 1 or above) at the time of the breakdown
• Six monthly testing – routine surveillance testing for higher
risk herds in the High Risk Area (HRA) will now take place
at six-monthly intervals from 2020, some herds in HRA
will remain on annual testing if: They have not had a TB
breakdown in 6 years; and/or they are CHeCS TB accredited
at level 1 or above
Welsh Government
In July 2017, the Welsh Government announced that a Post
Movement Test will not be needed for animals moving into the
low risk TB Area if they come from herds which are participating
in a CHeCS TB Herd Accreditation Scheme, and have achieved a
score of Level 10.
The CHeCS programme differs from statutory bTB control, for

recommendations to prevent TB incursions in herds that are
currently clear, whilst discussing trading options and measures to
prevent repeated reinfection for farms that are currently under
TB restrictions. A telephone advice service and ‘drop-in clinics’

Farewell to Dear Friends
Robert Lunness
1942 - 2018
When I joined the British Simmental
Society in 1988 and during my early years
of showing in the 1990s, I soon became
aware of the herd name ‘BRINKTON’, with
it winning at the majority of the main
agricultural shows I visited. The name
‘Melody’ kept arising and it was soon
known that if they (Bob & Jean) were
there with Melody, the question was -
who would come second?
Apparently when starting up with
Simmentals Bob and Jean were mocked by
other breeds/farmers they knew, asking
why they had started in ‘rare breeds’.
Bob’s answer to this was always ‘the
rare breeds’ they referred to became
the ‘Best of all breeds’, something he
continued to champion when he went on
to win the Burke Trophy as a breeder, and
when he was president seeing Valentine
and Sterling Krackerjack being successful,
winning the Burke Trophy again.
Certain animals names go on to become
famous, and within the Simmental Society,
that has to go to Brinkton Melody. She
won everything and then went on to breed
both male and female champions, with
the likes of Bluebelle, Bonzo, Wizard and
many,many more.
The Brinkton herd still has the record of
the most class winners at the Royal Show
with them gaining 6 first prizes in 1993 and
this was when there were over a hundred
Simmentals forward, as well as overall
supreme and reserve champions in both
the male and female championship.
Melody went on to gain Golden Cow
status and when she was paraded before
the crowd at the reduction sale they had in
1994, she was paraded in the sale ring at
the start to Tina Turner’s Simply the Best!
She was described by the auctioneer, Jack
Young as the “best Simmental cow of the
century and certainly of his lifetime”.
The sale went on to produce a record
at the time - 34 females sold to average
£4,082. Over 600 breeders were present to
see the top price of 11,000 guineas being
paid for Bluebelle by Haddon and Lynda
Burditt.
Clearly, as a new breeder, you are in
awe of these people who, at the time you
don’t know, but who go on to become
friends and when judged at a show by Bob
(but always prompted by Jean from the
sidelines) being put up with a baby heifer
called ‘Valentine’ and being told by Jean
that she was special, made my day.
I used to wonder how, when going to
shows, his animals came off the lorry and
almost immediately lay down as if they
had been there for days, while mine stood
and got so tired they almost fell down. On
visiting his farm one day, I found that all
his show cows were tied up as if at a show
and it was just natural for them.
He had big refrigeration units cut out of
a lorry blowing down on the cattle, so they
had coats thicker than anyone else, and
with those coats there was no-one better
than Jean for turning them out.
I attended an early show and phoned
home saying I thought the animal I had
would be third, having seen them in the
pens. We ended up 5th with two brought
out by Bob (after Jean had done her bit)
pushing everyone else down and winning
again.
The name Bob Lunness will always be
known within our breed, but cannot be
mentioned without that of his wife Jean
and the animals which made the herd
name Brinkton so famous within our
breed.
Sadly, less than 8 weeks after Bob
died, Jean also passed away, just before
Christmas.
Clearly we all move on with new names,
animals and herds becoming well known,
however the names of Lunness and
Melody will always be something that
remains special as far as my time in the
breed is concerned
Sleep well my friend, you left without
me getting a chance to say goodbye!!

Hector Macaskill
10.05.48 – 06.01.18
Farewell to Dear Friends
Hector was born in 1948 into a crofting family in Melvaig,
Wester Ross where he grew up with his brother Donald
Iain. Gaelic was the common language and he only
learned English at school in later years. Upon leaving
school at the age of 15, he worked on the family croft
and later as a shepherd on a farm near Gairloch. It was
there that he met his future wife Fiona Cameron and they
married in 1970. Two years later Hector and Fiona moved
to Woodhall farm near Innerwick, they were blessed with
4 daughters – Kirsty, Maj, Rhona and Jenny who helped on
the farm, consisting in the early days of Blackface sheep
and Hereford cross Friesian cattle.
His first association with the Simmental breed was
in 1976 when he purchased a bull from the Perth sales.
After satisfactory results with the progeny, the Woodhall
herd was established and grew to female numbers
well excess of 100. Hector developed a strong passion
and understanding of the genetics and later enjoyed
much success in the show and sale rings. He became a
very reputable breeder, travelling to countries such as
Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Australia and
Denmark and acted in many ways as an ambassador for
the UK. Hector had a terrific gift of remembering cattle
markings and their pedigrees; he was often referred
to as the ‘encyclopaedia’ of the breed. A competent
judge, he is one of a small number to have adjudicated
at the 4 Royals, as well as Premier events in Ireland
and Continental Europe. Many visitors from near and
far have had the
pleasure of Woodhall
hospitality over the
years, including
participants of the
World Congress in
2008. A strong and hardworking
council member for many years, he was rewarded with
the Presidency of the Simmental society in 2008 & 2009, a
position he held with great pride and competence.
Love for his large flock of Blackface sheep often
resulted in prize winning mule ewe lambs, and selling
over 400 in a single day was not uncommon at Stirling
market. It was also at these events where Hector
developed a close friendship with many breeders in the
sheep industry.
Hector passed away on the 6th January 2018, after
a degrading terminal illness, which he bore with great
dignity and fortitude. His quick wit and kind heart will
fondly be remembered by all who knew him well. He
will be sadly missed by many people including his fellow
breeders, good neighbours and friends but especially his
wife Fiona, daughters, sons in law and grandchildren, all
of which he was extremely proud.
On a personal note, I must say that after a lasting
relationship for over 30 years I have lost a special friend
and gentleman.

Charles Bruce
16/11/1927 - 30/8/2018
Chick was born and brought up at
Newtonmill, a dairy farm in Angus
with a bottling and doorstep delivery
business. Son of a farmer and WW1
veteran, he was the third generation
Bruce to make a living from the farm.
He lived and worked there till 1964
when he upped sticks and relocated
to Bemersyde Farm in the Scottish
Borders, where he set up a pedigree
herd of Ruby Red North Devon cattle.
Many championship rosettes followed from Exeter to
Perth, along with five supreme championships at the
RHASS Highland Show.
A new challenge followed in 1976 when he joined in
the importation of Simmental heifers from Switzerland,
taking 4 of the consignment back to Bemersyde. He
gradually built up the herd, winning championships at
both Perth and Carlisle bull sales along the way, and
producing many sires for both pedigree
breeders and commercial herds alike.
He was chairman of both Brechin
and Angus Federation of Young
Farmers. He chaired the Borders Crop
and Grassland Society and the local
NFU. In his youth he was a professional
sprinter, heavyweight Highland Games
competitor, and was also a keen curler
all his life.
He was a passionate and lifelong
stocksman and pedigree cattle breeder, always fun
loving with a twinkle in his eye. He will be sorely missed
by his wife Moira, sons Malcolm, Gordon and Stuart,
daughter in law Gillian and grandchildren Nicola, Grant,
Rebecca and Zoe, and by the many close friends and
acquaintances he made over the years.
Au revoir Chick.

Farewell to Dear Friends
Paull Borlase
1943 – 2018
My father Paull was born on the 22nd July 1943 in Hertford
and lived for the first 72 years of his life at both Sacombe
Hill Farm and Perrywood Farm on the Woodhall Estate,
where he farmed firstly with his Grandfather, then in
partnership with his parents, Bert & Betty Borlase before
their passing.
Paull firstly attended Heath Mount School based on
the Woodhall Estate then Lancing College in West Sussex
before he finished his studies at Moulton Agricultural
College in Northamptonshire and returned home to the
family farm. At the age of 8 he was struck down with
tetanus and spent 8 weeks in a coma before having
to learn to walk again. Paull became an accomplished
sportsman, particularly as a mile runner, and he competed
against the likes of Roger Bannister at the White City
Stadium following on to play rugby for the Royston Crows
for many years.
In 1968 after a very short courtship with Judy he asked
her father if he could marry Judy and when later that day,
he took her by complete surprise by saying to her that
he had asked her father for her hand in marriage, her
comment was, ‘and what did he say?’. Without hesitation
my father recited my Grandfather’s comment ‘The Best of
Bloody Luck to you’. Paull and Judy were married on the
4th December 1968 and so very nearly got to their Golden
Wedding anniversary but sadly it was not to be. William
was born in 1969 and I followed in 1975 and our father
was always immensely supportive of us and very proud
of what we had both achieved and he became the best
Grandfather our children could ever have had, referring
to his Grandchildren, Ben, Samuel and Scarlett as his little
angels.
On the 4th July 1970 Paull and his parents had the
foresight to establish the Sacombe Simmental Herd and
became founding members of The British Simmental
Cattle Society, his one wish was to see the herd attain its
50th Anniversary which we will proudly do in 2020. He
loved his cattle and particularly loved the summer shows.
Never one to seek the limelight, he often let others do the
showing, but he loved nothing more than grabbing the
muck fork or a comb and chatting to all the show goers,
inviting numerous people from home and abroad to come
and view the herd on the farm and in the process signing
up many new members for the breed - he was very much a
people’s person.
Paull achieved many highlights over his 48 years in
the Simmental breed including winning the Supreme
Championship at Perth Bull Sales on two occasions with
Sacombe Edgar and Sacombe Wishful Thinking, Supreme
and Interbreed Champion at The Royal Show with Sacombe
Shamus, Supreme Champion at the Royal Highland with
Sacombe Bernard and Supreme Champion at The Royal
Welsh on two occasions, firstly with Sacombe Balmoral and
this year just a
week before his
passing with
Sterling Petra’s
Cairo which
he was able to
watch on TV.
Without a doubt
though, the
highlight of his
farming career
as he saw it was
winning the
coveted Burke
Trophy in 2012
with Perrywood
Wispa and Clonagh World Class.
A naturally gifted engineer, Paull could turn his hand
to anything in a workshop and it was often joked how he
could have appeared on Scrap Heap Challenge such was
his ability to turn tired old metal into something useful and
this skill came to the fore throughout his farming life.
Paull took the very bold decision at the age of 72 to
purchase a new farm in Shropshire, and on the 30th
September 2015 together with Judy they moved to
Batchcott Hall Farm, which he described as having moved
to God’s Country. He promptly set about trying to promote
the attributes of Simmentals to the locals and establishing
an 800-ewe flock to run on the farm alongside the portion
of the Sacombe herd he had taken with him and he
immensely enjoyed the new friendships he promptly made
in the local area.
16 years ago, my father was diagnosed with Primary
Sclerosing Cholangitis, a liver disease which was
untreatable, and specialists knew very little about. Knowing
he couldn’t be cured he enrolled himself to be a guinea pig
so in the future he can hopefully help others. It was just
three weeks from him being diagnosed with cancer to his
passing, it was so aggressive it took everyone by surprise.
Throughout he never failed to thank the medical staff and
always told them how brilliant they were, his care from
them was fantastic.
Farming was Paull’s life, his passion and his pleasure
and no aspect more so than his beloved Simmental herd.
His enthusiasm for farming and Simmentals was infectious
and plain for all to see.
My Mother, William and I would like to thank everyone
who has shown our family so much support and kindness
through this difficult time, we have lost a loving husband,
supportive father and loving grandfather and a best friend
to many. We are all the richer for having had him in our
lives.

Joe Mee
19/08/1933 - 29/10/2018
Farewell to Dear Friends
Joe Mee, founder of the Lancelot herd, died on 29th
October 2018 after a long and courageous battle with
cancer. He was a loving husband, dad and granddad, and a
true gentleman, who will be greatly missed by his wife Jill,
children Oliver and Georgina and four grandchildren, and
also by those of us who showed cattle alongside him.
There were several tributes at his funeral, the first from
his friend Chris White, who spoke about his love of cattle
and showing:
Many of you know that I wasn’t family, but Joe and Jill
always made me feel like I was. I started to go up to Joe
and Jill’s at the age of eleven to help out, and later to work.
I look back now and think how patient Joe must have been.
I was not from a farming background – a city lad from
Sheffield – and have never thought about being a farmer.
The patience, time and understanding that Joe spent
teaching me led me to my career in farming, doing what I
love the most. I couldn’t have had a better tutor.
Joe loved his showing, and would always like to pick his
show team in January to start halter breaking and getting
them ready. His one aim was to beat Mr Donnelly, and
he achieved this with Harriet leading a home bred heifer
in 2016 at Ashbourne Show. Joe’s face was a picture, he
couldn’t stop smiling and said he was happy now, he’d
done what he set out to do.
The second tribute was from Harriet Thomas-Mee, Joe’s
granddaughter.
I would like to say a few words from Dada’s 4
grandchildren, Charlie, Josh, Ruby and myself. Dada has
always been there for us, helping and encouraging us with
our hobbies. For Ruby, he gave her advice and helped to
raise many orphan lambs; with Josh he had lots of good
times watching and chatting about football. With Charlie,
and the help of Dada’s dear friend Geoff, they restored an
old Petter engine. Dada shared his love of Simmental cattle
with me, as well as always encouraging me with my degree.
Every Tuesday and Wednesday after school he would be
waiting for us on the quadbike at the bottom of the lane
to give us a lift up to the farm. We all loved this but mum
wasn’t so keen on the soggy trousers on wet days! We have
so many great memories with Dada and are very lucky to
have lived so close to him and been able to spend lots of
time together.
There was always a job to be done, his favourite
summer job was to get us painting. He was very patient
as we got the paint on everything other than whatever we
were meant to be painting! The favourite winter job was
definitely mucking out the cows at the weekends, this we
got quite good at…
We have all spent a lot of hours growing up around
animals and riding on tractors with him. He was a great
role model and I aim to be as strong, kind and honest as
him. You stand forever in our hearts, the best Dada we
could have ever asked for, we will always look up to you
and miss you very much.

Chairman’s Report by Mark Sallis
Our annual AGM and quiz night was once again held
at Stratford cattle market albeit a little later in the
year than usual due to the weather in February,
prompting a postponement until March. This delay did
reduce the numbers slightly as many were now calving
and/or lambing, however an enjoyable night was had by all
that attended.
The AGM saw the following appointments for 2018
Chairman – Mark Sallis
Vice-Chairman – David Savins
Treasurer – John Fellows
Secretary – Amy Cox
It was very pleasing to see club members taking three
of the top four prices at the Worcester sale in May.
Congratulations to C.H Evans & Son on selling Wroxall
Happy Chappy, for the day’s top price of 5000 guineas, to
fellow club members C.M Mercer, for use in the Bowley
herd. Other notable prices were achieved by John Rixon
(Lopemede) and James Shouler (Alchester). The sale
at Worcester in May continues to go from strength to
strength and I anticipate the additional Autumn sale at
Worcester in 2019 will be equally as successful.
Unfortunately, the show season was very quiet for
club members this year. We have seen the dispersal of a
number of great herds who were very active on the show
circuit over the last couple of years, and other members
have elected to stay at home this year for a variety of
reasons. Hopefully next year will see us out in force.
Our annual Herd Competition was admirably judged
in September by Noah Hoskins, supported by our very
own Rob Hewlett, and we thank them both for generously
donating their time.

Cornwall Simmental Club
Report by Bridget Olds - Secretary
We began 2018 with our annual dinner in January
at The Plume of Feathers, Mitchell where
members were joined by family and friends to
enjoy a convivial meal. The amusing game of Irish Bingo
was won by Robert Bowden with the club secretary just
losing out.
February saw Sowenna acquiring Strathisla Humble’s
Harriet from the one-off draft sale of Islavale Donald’s
heifers at Stirling Bull Sales, marking the celebration of
forty years of the Ivory family breeding Simmentals. Harriet
has subsequently produced a heifer calf by Woodhall
Ferrari in August 2018.
In May, Cornwall Club members supported the
Worcester Society sale offering a selection of bulls
and females. Entries included cattle from Sowenna,
Killiworgie, Chegwidden (draft of Chegwidden Alfie sired
females) and Bosahan (Reserve Male Champion and Top
price heifer).

Our annual challenge against the South Devon club
usually takes place in March, however unfortunately this
did not work out this year. A repeat is planned for 2019.
April featured the second Cornwall Club Sale at Exeter
market where, in common with other spring sales,
entries forward were disappointing. However, warm
congratulations to Gethin and Enfys Lloyd who made the
long journey from Wales and successfully sold Crugmelyn
Elvis to Malcom Coumbe’s Housey herd at Liskeard.
Two weeks later Killiworgie and Treverbyn herds took
the honours at Devon County Show with Killiworgie Grace’s
Camelia taking the Female Championship and Overall with
Ant Hart heading the males with Skylark Geronimo.

During the first week of June, attention is centred
on our County Show at Wadebridge. This year John
Moore (Omorga, Northern Ireland) took on the task
of judging the eight classes, respective specials and
championships. Local breeders with entries forward
included Sowenna, Kurlycoat, Chegwidden, Killiworgie,
Pennytinney,Treverbyn and Bosahan. Sowenna emerged
as Female and Overall Champion with their first calf heifer
Sowenna Galaxy - (Sowenna Tamar x Celtic Betty), while
her August 17 daughter Sowenna Iola by Castlegale Eric
lifted the Junior Championship. The Skerrington Armada
sired Bosahan Harmony Whitney headed the two-yearold
heifer line up and stood Reserve Female Champion.
Killiworgie took the Male Championship with their new
stock bull, the Sterling Flint sired Lynfield Hamish, and Viv
Hall stood reserve with her home-bred April 17 youngster
Chegwidden Impecibull by Chegwidden Fergal Gallant.
Other class winners were Sowenna Ivor, Killiworgie Grace’s
Camelia and Sowenna Henrietta’s Ivy. Megan Wellington
(Pennytinney) with her new stock bull Sowenna Illuminate
was second in the Beef Young Handlers Senior class and
went on to be Reserve Champion in the beef section.

reserve spot to the Charolais team. While the junior pair
of Chegwidden Impecibull and Sowenna Henrietta’s Ivy
took third in a strong line-up and Sowenna Galaxy did
well to be tapped out in the final line up for the Supreme
Championship against mature opposition. Impecibull was
third in the Interbreed Nare Hotel Best Beef Bull, born on
or after 1 st January 2016 - a brilliant result for his age.

A big appreciation to all club members who have
exhibited their cattle at the one day shows throughout
the summer and flown the Simmental flag, especially
in the mixed beef breed classes. Ant Hart (Treverbyn)
deservedly was awarded the Cornwall Club most points

kindly hosted by the Sowenna Herd. Club members had
the opportunity to question Tina Russell on the inspection
process and see excellent examples of the type of
cattle to aim for with Sowenna Annie scoring Ex 92. The
demonstration was followed by a herd visit and despite the
dry conditions the Sowenna herd were in fine fettle and a
credit to the Hawkey family.

KILLIWORGIE OPEN DAY
After days and days of endless sunshine, it was a huge
disappointment that the heavens opened at the end
of August for Killiworgie’s open day celebrating twenty
years of breeding Simmentals. Nevertheless, around forty
visitors were welcomed by Steve and Gill Gummow and
family for a tour of the herd, followed by a hog roast and
plentiful refreshments. Despite the inclement weather, the
quality of their cattle shone through providing a thoroughly
enjoyable social afternoon to celebrate an important
milestone in their history. Killiworgie started with six cows
from the Pencarrow dispersal. Among the additions from
society sales and private purchasers, a special mention
should go to Boarshead Grace 4 th , Lakeside Warrior
and Ballinalare Farm Buttercup 2 nd for their impact on
improving the stock. Buttercup’s first calf Killiworgie
Emperor by Auchorachan Wizard not only has an enviable
show record but is leaving daughters with a consistent
stamp. The Gummows eagerly await the opening of their
next chapter with Lynfield Hamish progeny due in 2019.
Congratulations to Steve Gummow on being added to
the Society’s judging panel.
CORNWALL SIMMENTAL CLUB COMMERCIAL
OPEN DAY 2018 – SUNDAY 9 TH SEPTEMBER
Beef cattle breeders from St Buryan to Bude attended
the seventh commercial open day organised by Cornwall
Simmental Club. Warmly welcomed by Phil and Lesley
Martyn-Uglow at Hornacott Farm, Boyton, Launceston, the
event was sponsored by the British Simmental Society.
The farm tour was preceded by a talk given by Philip
Warren of Warren Butchers, who emphasised the
importance of producing meat to meet the changing
trends of both today’s and future buyer’s needs, which
are underpinned by a growing awareness of welfare
and health concerns for sentient beings. The discerning
customer was prepared to pay for quality over quantity
and he went on to highlight the value of the British
Simmental, making the following points:
• Breeders should promote the benefits of hybrid
vigour offered by Simmental terminal sires when
used across native breeds, thereby improving the
gene pool of milky dams capable of raising early
finishing grass fed progeny
• The eating quality of meat is globally recognised as
being influenced by maternal genetics. Breeders
will be rewarded in the future for a consistent,
premium product already sought by leading chefs in
the restaurants across England which his business
sources for them
He concluded by urging breeders to consider the size of
the cattle they are aiming for as bigger is not better for the
cuts of meat his customers prefer.
www.britishsimmental.co.uk 075
REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
The visit continued in wonderful sunshine as ninety
suckler cows and their progeny were viewed. Phil Martyn-
Uglow explained the successful changes in breeding policy
the family had made by crossing both Simmental and
Charolais sires on a range of native breeds, and putting the
retained breeding females back to a Simmental bull.
A group of Simmental cross heifers due to calve at
twenty-two to twenty-four months old typified the stamp of
cattle desired. Mothering
ability coupled with the
renowned docility and
fertility of the Simmental
breed have justified the
decisions made.
Robust suckled calves
due to be weaned will fulfil
the desired specifications
outlined by the guest
Philip Warren
speaker.
CLUB TRIP
September also featured the annual club trip which this
year saw Cornwall & South West Club members heading
for the borders with hurricane Ali on their tail, and staying
in the lovely Powfoot Hotel on the shores of Solway Firth.
Despite the unsettled weather, we were made welcome
by the Chestermann, Newbiemains, Manor Park, and
Bavington herds. We also visited the lairage facilities run by
Andrew and Alieen Ewing, Annandale whisky distillery and
the market town of Hexham.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
East Anglian Simmental Club
Report by Hayley Clarke – Secretary
Another twelve months have gone and here I am
again writing a report for the Annual Review.
Firstly, I would like to thank all our members for
their support throughout the year, it is also great news that
numbers are growing in our club and this is good news for
the breed.
We had three weddings in the club, Chris & Zara Curson:
Hollybrook Herd, James & Kelly Brice: Rendham Herd &
Dennis Mitchell & Eliandro Felipeto - we wish them all the
best for the future.
Newark sale saw a top price of 3400gns for the bulls and
3800gns for the females. There were buyers for the cattle,
so we must try and improve our overall standard.
The show season seemed to go by in a flash, a lot of
the shows have now dropped breed classes which shows
a sign of the times with costs and people being worried
about their cattle picking up diseases.
Suffolk has breed classes, but this year was the lowest
it has seen with exhibitors forward. Lesley & David Sapsed
won with Heathbrow Gypsy Rose. Royal Norfolk was well
supported, Heathbrow herd won again - this time with
Heathbrow Girlie’s Ivy.
A few of us took the trip to the National Show at Great
Yorkshire, with all of us picking up rosettes. It was great to
see Simon back in the ring, we agreed Dad would be very
proud of what he has achieved. To great delight Paul and
Linda were awarded with a prize at the dinner for Fircovert
Cecilia, she has been to seven national shows!!
Once again, we took the long drive to the Royal Welsh
Show, much to our surprise numbers were not that good
either, we picked up Junior Male Champion with Williams
Invincible.

Wayland show numbers are increasing; there were no
breed classes but for the time of year, this show is doing
well - well done Granger. Paul & Linda Gunther won the
last show of the season with Fircovert Cecilia at Aylsham,
well done to them both.
A big thank you to the judges who travelled to the shows
as I know it can be hard & frustrating only judging a few in
a class.
Penny Lally, along with her right hand lady Ann Jukes,
took time out to judge our herd competition this year,
several miles got travelled and thank you for the results:

For his enthusiasm for the breed and plans for the future of their herd
As most of you know, the National Simmental Show will
be held at the Royal Norfolk Show in 2019. This is one of
the best in the country. They will not limit you on stalls,
but I advise you to book early, you can always cancel some
stalls if you have overbooked - Holly will refund you. You
will also get money back for every animal forward.
If you have any questions, you can get in contact with
Holly at the Norfolk show. I can also help if you want to
speak to me, I also know of some great accomodation
close to the show ground, but I would advise you to book
early, some of them are only 10 minutes away and you
don’t have to go into the city!
Finally, most of all, I would like to wish all the Simmental
breeders success, good luck and a healthy 2019.

2018 SHOWS
Lincoln show was the first
outing this year for our club
members. The Hollingsworth
family took Reserve Champion
with their bull Midhope Ivor.
The next major win was
for Tom and Ruby at Norfolk
Show, where they took Male
Champion, Junior Champion,
and went on to take Reserve
Junior Interbreed Champion
with their young bull Scotland
Hill Iceman. Donald and
Kirsty won the January-March
2017 class with their heifer St
Trinian’s Imogen.
The English National
Show was held at the Great
Yorkshire this year. The
Hollingsworth and Steele
families were in the tickets,
and a good time was had by
all.

2018 SALES
Newark sale in March saw
the Hollingsworth family take
reserve female champion with
Midhope Glamorous.
Leading Ladies sale at
Carlisle saw victory for the
Hollingsworth family, as they
took Champion with their
heifer Midhope Holy Light
out of the much noted cow
Midhope Bright Light.
The October sales at Stirling
saw Tom and Ruby taking two
red tickets with both of their
bulls, Scotland Hill IBN and
Invader. Both bulls went on to
sell well, the youngest making
10,000 guineas.
It’s been a challenging
year to say the least, but the

Report by Vikki Wood – Chairman
The year started in February with our Annual Quiz -
always well supported and enjoyed by all. This year it
was won by the Ex-President’s men.
Huge thanks go to our quiz masters Chris and Kath
Martindale for pulling it out of the bag every year.
The Goddards and the Fittons
The strongest quiz team They held everyone up!

March saw us welcoming Alan Hughes from Farming
Solutions Ltd, who gave us a very informative talk on how
to protect our farms, and indeed cattle, from badgers. It
really was enlightening and again well supported.
The summer shows have been well attended as always
with club members enjoying success at all levels. Mentions
must go to David and Susan Donnelly and Richard and
Louise Storer Smith on a successful show season with
plenty of championships and reserve championships
between them. Also, to Jimmy and Vikki Wood and family
winning the National Show with Popes Rhona. We continue
to be strongly represented at shows which is really
encouraging, as it is a great shop window for our breed.
Our herd competition was judged this year by John
Rixon, ably assisted by his partner Shona. The extended
summer hopefully made this an enjoyable experience for
them and we thank them both for giving up their time
especially during a busy period. Ours is quite a large area

The herd competition
results presentation took
place by kind invitation
of David and Christine

the Blackpool herd.
We enjoyed a lovely
afternoon, saw some
wonderful cattle and their

to David and Christine for
your hospitality, it was
much appreciated.

Farm. What a treat! A super herd of Simmentals with the
added advantage of having a walk around the beautiful
thoroughbred mares and foals. Once more, thank you for
having us - we had a fantastic morning.
The calf shows were well represented this year
Congratulations go to Richard and Louise Storer Smith on
their wins at Agri Expo and the English Winter Fair.
The year ended with the English Winter Fair, manned
as always by Mandy and Kath with help from Andrea, Sally
and Christine. Thank you to all for your hard work, it is
much appreciated and thank you too for all the delicious
cakes, we are so lucky to have so many talented bakers in
our midst!
We rounded off with our AGM, always a nice end to the
year as we have a good turnout and get chance to catchup
with our members old and new.
Christine & David Loftus with Rob Fitton
Later in September some of us joined up with the South
East group and travelled to Ireland. We had a lovely visit to
Peter and Marion O’Connell’s Raceview herd in Mallow. The
weather was kind and we were treated to a lovely lunch.
Thank you to you both for your great hospitality. We then
travelled North to visit the Clonagh herd of Garrett and
Lyndsey Behan. We had a lovely evening walk around their
impressive herd and saw some lovely cattle - some of them
I am sure we will see a lot more of in the future. We were
again very well fed and watered and would like to thank
the Behan’s for their hospitality.
Saturday morning dawned, and it was as wet as it could
have been for our visit to Strokestown to the National
Simmental calf finals. We were treated to a great display
of cattle once more, and had a lovely day despite the
weather.
Our final visit was to the Ballybane herd and Stud
On a sad note, we lost a valued member of our club
this year, Mr Joe Mee lost his battle in October. He was a
long-standing member who will be sorely missed, and our
sympathies go to his wife Jillian and family.
I would like to thank Robert for his support as Vice
Chairman and to Mandy for her tireless work as secretary -
we would be lost without her. Thanks also go to Bill Turrell,
our long-standing treasurer. Thank you for the huge
amount of time you all dedicate to the smooth running of
the club.
Finally, although we are living in uncertain times our
breed continues to go from strength to strength. Long may
that continue.
I would like to wish all members and Simmental
breeders a happy and successful 2019.

North East Club
Report by Jayne Pick - Secretary
The Club has had a reasonably quiet 2018. It was
a special year given the fact the National Show
was held at the Great Yorkshire Show, Harrogate,
a relative home match for a lot of NE Members! Well
done to Vikki, Jimmy, Harry and Hannah Wood who took
the Championship with their heifer ‘Popes Rhona’. All
exhibitors should be extremely proud of the quality of
cattle they brought out at the show, and whether you
were near the top or further down the line you should be
congratulated.
Pictured to the right Reserve Champion Grangewood Heston & Andrew Leedham
The year started with our AGM at Scarthingwell. A good
number of members came for Sunday lunch and various
ideas were put forward for visits. Unfortunately, with this
year’s weather being so challenging no one could commit
to a possible 2-day visit.
Newark Show & Sale in March brought success for
Andrew & Yvonne Leedham and John, Val and Craig
Hollingsworth. ‘Grangewood Heston 16’ a ‘Grangewood
Damascus 12’ son was awarded Reserve Champion for
Andrew & Yvonne before selling for 3300gns. ‘Midhope
Glamorous’ achieved Reserve Female Champion for John,
Val and Craig before being sold to CR Fovargue Bros,
Leicester for 2600gns.
The Leading Ladies Show & Sale at Carlisle in April saw
the top two spots being taken by Club members. John,
Val and Craig Hollingsworth took the Championship with
‘Midhope Holy Light’ selling for 5000gns to Mr Grant
(Dellfield). Andrew & Ruth Steele were awarded the
Reserve Champion with ‘Weeton Crocus’s Hyacinth’, the
‘Ashland Brandy‘ daughter later being sold for 2600gns.
Well done to Katie Steele who prepared and showed
Hyacinth at the sale.

Lincoln show in June brought success for the
Hollingsworth & Steele families. John, Val and Craig
collected two seconds with their heifers ‘Midhope Heavenly
Light’ and ‘Midhope I-Light’. Ian & Margaret were awarded a
4th place with their heifer ‘Blakewell Wallflowers Hyacinth’.
The heifers were out again at the Great Yorkshire show
where competition was fierce. They gained a second,
fourth and third respectively. A special mention to
Emma Steele who showed her grandparents’ heifer so
professionally.
The Club’s biennial Herd Competition was judged on
the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd September. Mr John
Barlow, Leyland, Lancashire was kind enough to judge the
9 herds that had entered. Results were announced at our
Annual Dinner which was held at a new venue, The Bridge,
Walshford near Wetherby on Saturday 17th November.
The Club is indebted to John for giving up his weekend to
view the herds, also thank you to Ellis for accompanying
him and helping to navigate around some very unfamiliar
countryside! The results are printed below, many
congratulations to all who entered.

2018 has brought with it many challenges; the erratic
weather resulting in increased feed costs due to shortage
of fodder and unfortunately still the uncertainties
circulating around Brexit. We all now look forward to the
New Year with the optimism that is necessary for a life
involved in any aspect of the farming industry.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
North West Simmental Club
Report by Sarah Ford - Secretary
Another year woosh!
Our club year started with the AGM in February
held at the Auctioneer, Carlisle, where new club
officers and committee were elected. Juliet Sanders
stepped down as chairman having done her two- year
stint, we all very much appreciated Juliet’s hard work. Alan
Tallentire took over. Winter this year was interesting to say
the least with “the beast from the east” doing its best to kill
us, making many of us question what we are doing!!!
The Carlisle Spring sale which included the Leading
Ladies was held on the 20th April and was judged by
Stewart Stronach Jr of Maisley, Keith, Banffshire. We had a
pre-supper sale at the Auctioneer where we held a raffle
raising £90.
At last the weather improved and treated us to a
fabulous summer. Clive Houldey and family very kindly
invited us to join the farm walk they were holding for the
Scottish club. Unfortunately, only a handful of members
made it, but we were very grateful to be asked to enjoy
Manor Park’s lovely cattle and hospitality.
On Sunday 16th September we had our farm walk
and a fabulous day it was too. We started at Mr Pearson
at Blencow, Penrith. This is one of the herds from
which we source the cattle that grace the stand at Agri
Expo. He runs around 120 cows all Simmental x Blue or
Simmental x Limousin covering them with a Simmental,
Blue or Limousin bull. The bull calves are fattened and
sold deadweight, some of the heifers will be kept as herd
replacement the others sold for breeding or fattened. We
then went onto John Piele’s at Greystoke where we had a
lovely lunch. John runs a 200 plus herd of cows all of which
are commercial crosses. He buys Simmental x blue heifers
from Irvine Pearson, which are bulled with a Limousin as
heifers, then a Charolais bull thereafter. Calves are sold
off the cow as weaned suckler calves. Alongside the cattle
he runs a flock of Swaledale sheep, some of which are
bred pure, others producing Mule lambs, as well as a flock
of Texel crosses. We found it extremely interesting to go
around commercial farms, seeing the Simmental used for
different purposes. We were looked after extremely well,
and a great day was had by all. A huge thank you to both
families.
Agri Expo was another outstanding success for the
Simmental Society with tremendous cattle on the stand
with a selection of pure bred Simmentals from Ian
Willison’s monitor farm, pedigree bulls from Newbiemains
and two Simmental x cows with Belgian Blue calves at
foot sourced from Irvine Pearson. These proved to be a
real showstopper. The stand was busy as usual with club
members spending a very busy day making lots cups of tea
to go with lovely sandwiches and cakes. A good show of
calves was very ably judged
by Laura Green. Thank
you Laura. The Overall
Champion was Storersmith
Isla; a great day was had
by all with many of our
generous sponsors being
there to present the prizes.

Cattle Breeders Club
Chairman’s Report by Conrad Fegan
It was a great honour to be elected as chairman of the
Northern Ireland Simmental Breeders Club. I hope to
follow on from previous chairpersons and promote the
breed as best I can alongside the elected committee.
We started the year with the Pedigree Calf Fair held
at Balmoral Showgrounds, Belfast. The judge on the day
was Douglas Barr from Scotland. There was great quality
stock on show with Leslie and Christopher Weatherup
taking the Senior and Reserve Senior Championship with
Lisglass Helena and Lisglass Honey. Taking the Junior
Championship was Adrian Richardson, Maguiresbridge
with Cleenagh Ivy. Reserve Junior was Ballinlare Farm
Isabella bred by Joe Wilson and sons, Newry.

their awards. We thanked all our sponsors and members
for their generosity throughout the year.
February saw the first sale of the year with some
Northern Ireland breeders taking the long trip to

8,500gns was Ranfurly Impeccable from David and Jonny
Hazelton, Dungannon. This bull took the Reserve Senior
Championship. Also making 8,500gns and taking the
Reserve Intermediate Championship was Hiltonstown
Irish bred by Richard Rodgers, Portglenone. The Robson
family from Doagh realised 6,000gns for Kilbride Farm
Iceman. They also took 5,200gns for Kilbride Farm Ian.
Shane and Paul McDonald from Tempo averaged £3,675
for 2 bulls. Topping their entry at 4,500gns was Coolcran
Instagram. Robin Boyd from Portglenone averaged £3,937
for 2 bulls. His best was 4,500gns for Slievenagh Ike. Also
selling at 4,500gns was the fifth placed Omorga Irving from
John Moore, Beragh. The third placed Scribby Farms Ivor
came under the hammer at 4,200gns for Keith and Andrea
Nelson, Rosslea. Joe Wilson, Rathfriland, realised 3,500gns
for Sterling Innes.
Finally I would like to take this opportunity to wish all
the Northern Ireland Simmental club members continued
success next year.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
Scottish Simmental Club
Report by Richard Pettit - Secretary
Club Members have had a successful year with Shows,
and despite the driest summer for years, with many
short of grass and winter fodder prices - averages were up
for bulls in October at Stirling bull sales.
We started the year on a sad note hearing of the loss of
one of the Club’s stalwarts, Hector Macaskill, who served as
Club Chairman from 1989 to 1991.
FEBRUARY SALE
The two top prices were both from the Stronachs; the top
price of 24,000gns for Reserve Champion Islavale Heston,
who sold to Richard McCulloch, and Islavale Harvest, sold to
the Kilbride Farm herd for 16,000gns. They were also Overall
Champion with Islavale Hugo, with 12 of their 13 bulls sold, to
average an impressive £8,321.
The Intermediate Champion Camus Harold, from Northern
Irish breeders Harold Stubbs and Alan Burleigh sold to Vikki
Wood at 12,000gns for her Popes herd.
Kilbride Farm Haka, from the Robsons was next selling
to Iain Green for 10,000gns.
The pre-sale show judge, Anne MacPherson sold
Blackford Hurricane, for 9000gns to Bridget Borlase.
Other leading prices included 8,000gns for Woodhall
Hugh, from the late Hector Macaskill, he sold to Delfur
Farms.
The Reserve Intermediate Champion – Pitmudie
Houston from Heather Duff, sold for 7,800gns.
An 82% clearance rate was achieved with 116 bulls
selling to average £5,477.
In the female sale a top price of 6,800gns was paid
for an in-calf heifer from Adrian Ivory, April-2016 born
Strathisla Honesty’s Twiggy, selling to Harte Peat Ltd,
Ireland.
The Reserve Female Champion sold for 4,000gns. This
was yearling heifer Newbiemains I’m Brilliant, from Jim and
Patricia Goldie.

KNOCKNAGAEL BULL STUD
In March the Scottish Club visited Knocknagael Bull Stud,
by kind permission of The Scottish Government.
John Cowan gave us all a very informative tour of the stud
and its work, providing bulls to hire to crofters in the crofting
areas of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. All breeds were
represented, with the most popular being Limousins, with
Simmentals being the third most popular with around 20 in
the current stud.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
South East Club
Could this be the next Frankel
Report by Chris Patmore - Chairman
I
would like to open this report on a rather sombre note.
Our annual AGM was held on 29th April at Tony and
Ann Jukes farm in Kent. It was probably the last occasion
that most of us were in the company of Paull Borlase who
passed away at the end of July. A substantial lunch was
provided by Ann and her merry band of helpers which we
consumed after our meeting.
A memorial service was held at Sacombe in mid-
September followed by a superb lunch provided by Judy
and Bridget at the farm.
In early September, Ann organised a three-day trip
to Southern Ireland. We visited the Raceview and
Clonagh herds and saw tremendous cattle knee deep
in luscious grass which we in the South of England have
been desperately short of this year. Having been fed
and watered at both farms on the Friday it could have
been shades of the Vicar of Dibley where she ate three
Christmas dinners, but luckily, we cancelled the evening
meal at the hotel we were staying at. Accommodation was
provided by the Bloomfield House Hotel owned by John
Connaughton of Bally Bane who also provided the venue
for our Sunday visit. A farm to die for, race horses and
Simmental cattle in an exquisite environment with hardly a
blade of grass out of place.
On the Saturday we attended a show at Strokestown.
Although a trifle damp for most of the day, we thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves and it was a breath of fresh air to see so
many youngsters so enthusiastic about showing.

Next day after breakfast to Strokestown we sped
Arriving with excitement and glee
A fantastic show with many wonderful calves
An amazing spectacle to see
With families and friends and a flurry of soap
Intense combing and prep everywhere
One animal tied to a branch of a tree!
Sound of generators filling the air
The competitive spirit was not dampened by rain
That eventually rendered us all rather soaked
Champions were crowned to their supporters
delight
As always, some disappointed felt a bit choked
Uncomfortably damp, to we returned our hotel
Having had a most enjoyable day
Next day, off to Dublin for all to fly home
With Ballybane Herd visit on the way
As we drove through the beautiful gates
And up to an immaculate yard
We knew we were in for a treat
To be completely impressed was no hard
Not only cattle, a picture in the Parkland sun
But thoroughbred mares, what a treat
With their beautiful foals so incredibly tame
Quite endearing, not a kick or a bite
We reluctantly left, to airport we drove
All going our own separate ways
With wonderful memories of our Irish friends
Thanks to all, lovely trip, happy days.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
South West Club
Report by Dawn Shapland - Secretary
The heaviest snow for several years, a record-breaking
heatwave and then a storm called Bronagh brought
about rather a quiet year for our Club.
As usual, on the third Monday in January, we had a
Simmental team entered in the area’s Interbreed Quiz.
A slight change to the usual lineup, Adrian Curry, Kath
Edwards, myself and this year’s “secret weapon” Steve
Shapland. With Quizmaster Tony Walker setting the
questions, we eventually finished a highly creditable
second to the young ladies in the British Blues team.
Due to the most significant snowfall in recent years,
the A.G.M was postponed from March 5th. Three weeks
later the clocks had changed to British Summertime and
we were rewarded with magnificent views of our venue,
the Oake Manor Golf Club. Another quiz, (famous farmers)
provided the evening’s entertainment. Victorious were
“The Auctioneers” a team comprising of Clive Roads, Chris
Clapham and David Barker.
At the meeting we all had the opportunity to view
approximately 30 years-worth of Simmental Sale
catalogues, Perth, Stirling, Carlisle, Bristol, Worcester etc,
and copies of a Society publication from 1995 “SIMMENTAL
Its first 25 Years in the United Kingdom”. These items have
all been very generously donated to the Club by Mr and
Mrs David and Christina Mills.
The pre-sale show at Worcester was judged this year by
Craig Hollingsworth (Midhope Herd). He awarded Female
and Overall Champion to Mr Beynon’s splendid cow,
Gwili Gwenan. She sold for 3600 guineas, with her heifer
calf Gwili Jenny, at foot. Richard and Debbie Cumming’s
Cwarre Hanukkah was the Champion Male. Reserve Male
was given to Bosahan Hendra from John and Bridget Olds.
Vendors achieved an excellent clearance with only two
animals not selling through the sales ring!
Thank you to all our sponsors: Mole Valley Farmers,
Shearwell Data, For Farmers, Crediton Milling, ABP
Langport, Torch Farm Vets and the Winford, Lopemede and
Bosahan Herds.

Male Champion Bosahan Hendra at the Worcester Sale
At the Devon County Show in May, there was a lastminute
change of judge to former club Chairman, John
May (Priorton Herd). Female and Overall Champion was a
wonderful cow from Cornwall, the Gummow’s Killiworgie
Grace’s Camelia. Reserve Overall was awarded to our
present Chairman’s heifer, Winford Vogue 11th . Champion
Male was another animal from Cornwall, Skylark Geronimo
owned by Anthony Hart.

judged to be Overall Champion by James Arnold. Steve,
Lorrayne and Emma also had their young bull Sway
Harlequin, awarded Champion Male and Overall Reserve.
Club member, Laura French and her father, Roger Darch
had the Reserve Female, Chard Glitter. Our most recent
and youngest members, Brooks and Stanley Carey, enjoyed
success in the cross bred heifer class.

HERD COMPETITION
A visit to the Bosahan herd of John and Bridget Olds
took place on October 14th. Around 50 people attended.
A walk around these outstanding cattle was followed by
presentations and a wonderful lunch at the local social
club. Competition judge Clive Roads announced the
winners, and presented the trophies and rosettes. The club
would like to thank the Olds family and the judge for their
generosity.
The following words are the judge’s own thoughts on
the competition:
Super cattle and marvellous hospitality marked what
was a privilege to be invited to judge the 2018 Herd
Competition.
What a trip!! From the Cotswolds and the source of the
River Thames through to the White Horse in Wiltshire,
the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, the Eden Project in Cornwall,
taking in Exmoor, Dartmoor and Land’s End! A total of 846
miles in 3 days!!
My conclusion…. The Simmental breed is in safe hands in
the South West. Some brief yet poignant comments of the
14 herds visited on the trip.
David Bush – impressed with some great individual cows
– not easy when changing calving patterns from Spring to
Autumn but definitely a herd to watch with great young
stock coming through. The Red Deer enterprise on the farm
was particularly enlightening and of great interest.
Len & Adrian Curry – What enthusiasm! A small herd but
making a mark in the breed. A memorable in-calf heifer
Winford Vogue 11th will stay in my mind for a long time – as
will the flight path of Bristol Airport!
David Edwards – The ultimate for any breed is to be
run successfully as a commercial enterprise. David’s herd
typifies this. Purebred (not pedigree) good working cows,
not too big and producing super calves – best advert for
any breed.
Alstone Partnership – Roy Loud & Charlie Kidner - A
pedigree herd run commercially. The cows keeping the
farm rather than farm keeping cows – great management.
Excellent groups of in-calf and maiden heifers by Taurus
ELO and Heywood Fergus – very eye catching.
Steve & Dawn Shapland – Another working herd with
cows doing the calves well. The image of that bull calf
Brynsworthy Jethro sits bright in my mind and surely a
stock bull to make a mark in the future.
Chris Tucker – What an impressive farm and a herd on
the up and up. Again, some super individual cows, brilliant
calves and that particularly smart in-calf heifer Dinton Kiwi.
Seeing the flock of laying ducks and learning about Chris’s
television work was a real treat!
Sandra Francis – One word…Passionate! A walking
encyclopaedia of the breed, superb herd with type and
breeding. Impressed with the overall type even though
a number of different bulls have been used – careful
selection has been the secret.
Rupert Ridout – A small but select herd - making
ongoing improvements and with Rupert’s enthusiasm and
thoughts on future breeding policy, another herd to watch
in the future. British Blue cross calves were particularly
memorable.
Robert & Jim Cook – What inspiring “boys” these are!
Farming land on the coast line with 100,000 visitors walking
the fields, coping with land management required by The
National Trust and still breeding good, sound genuine cattle
with a superb work ethic and stockman-ship ethic. Fabulous
groups of heifers coming forward to enhance the herd.
Graham Reed – Stock farming at its best. Big numbers
of cows run commercially and efficiently with quality
throughout. Great calves, super bulling and maiden heifers
and an outstanding young bull Skylark Infamous – a treat to
see.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
Anthony Hart – What a rewarding experience visiting this
herd. Quality throughout, great stock bull, superb in-calf
heifer in Treverbyn Hayley and strong type cows everywhere.
John & Bridget Olds – Years of sound selective breeding
has paid off. Impressive stock wherever you look. Older
cows breeding true, great cow families and young stock.
Outstanding.
Jim Buckland – The “dark horse” of my tour! A herd with
a big future, each generation is a marked improvement on
the previous one. The new Irish stock bull will continue that
trend – definitely a herd to follow.
Viv Hall – A delight to see a herd of this calibre on my
last visit of the trip. Quality cows, calves and heifers typified
by Chegwidden Hera, a super in-calf heifer. A stock bull
Chegwidden Gismo was eye catching – book an appointment
to see him.
The competition was extremely interesting and not easy!
Different management systems, grazing opportunities
and different priorities but a common admiration and
commitment to the breed.

During September, our Herd Competition Judge,
Mr Richard Storer-Smith travelled the Country visiting
numerous herds, although given the weather during the
first day, a boat might have been a more appropriate mode
of transport! Luckily the sun shone on the Sunday for our
awards presentation kindly hosted by Chris Waters and

As well as a herd visit we also received an interesting cow
classification demonstration by Meurig James.
Many thanks to Richard and Meurig for giving up their

Trip 2018
These trips are shorter than they used to be and
tend to be concentrated over a weekend. However,
we still managed to fit in two herd visits, the stock
judging competition, laser tag, a social evening and a
presentation dinner.
We began with a herd visit to Kilbride Farm, where we
saw some fantastic stock. The field of yearling heifers
was a spectacle. On numerous occasions throughout the
trip, the young members are given the opportunity to
ask questions, and discuss amongst themselves aspects
of breeding and rearing stock. At the end of the visit,
the Robson family’s main piece of advice for breeders
old and new was that to move forward with a herd,
you must cull hard. Remove the females that aren’t
producing good stock, and concentrate your efforts on
those that are.

We were fortunate to be part of the annual Charity
BBQ event that is held at Dungannon. This year’s event
included a raffle that had been held throughout the past
show season, in memory of Thelma Gorman. A large
sum of money was raised for the Air Ambulance. It was a
fantastic event to be part of; well done to all those behind
organising and promoting it.
Saturday morning arrived, and with it the main event.
The young members congregated after breakfast, armed
with white coats, ties, pens and note paper. We travelled
to the Hiltonstown herd, and were hosted by the Rodgers
family for the stock judging. Some tremendous cattle were
waiting to be judged, and there was, as always with stock
judging competitions, easier classes and more difficult
classes, causing debate amongst the competitors young
and ‘old’!
After judging, a classification demonstration was
held. This was very educational, and allowed the young
members to gain insight into the criteria to look for when
choosing breeding females.
Richard chatted amongst the young members as they
looked around the rest of his herd; they discussed what
he looks for when selecting new bloodlines into the herd,
the pros and cons of using AI and selecting a stock bull.
As a group they chatted about what they’d like to see and
achieve in the future.
Over the course of the two farm visits, the young
members were given the opportunity to take away
knowledge gained from years of experience in breeding
and selling cattle, and an understanding of new tools to
use in the form of classification, all gained in a very relaxed
and welcoming atmosphere.
Moving away from cattle for a couple of hours, we took
the YM to laser tag to have fun, build friendships and let
that competitive side of them out! Judging by the sight of
them upon their return to the mess house, they definitely
had fun. Some were more competitive than others with
innovative ways to ‘win’ (not naming names Chris); they
had definitely worn themselves out and worked up an
appetite for the presentation dinner that evening.
Those that weren’t staying at the hotel all travelled to
the presentation dinner, giving us the opportunity to thank
the people who had made the trip possible, enjoy good
company and, of course, find out who had won this year’s
stock judging event. The full list of prize winners is shown
overleaf.

a quaich in appreciation for hosting the stockjudging event
I have thoroughly enjoyed accompanying the young
members on their trips; year on year there is an obvious
increase in their knowledge base, friendships flourish, new
friendships are made and there’s always lots of laughter
along the way.

JUDGE:
BRIDGET BORLASE
Firstly, I would like to thank the Royal
Ulster Agricultural Society for inviting
me to judge the Simmental classes at
their 150th Centenary Show, it was a great
honour and a privilege for me to do so.
I was on my first visit to Balmoral Show
and I have to say I was most impressed by
their showground and their fantastic new
cattle building and judging rings, where the
cattle were presented to me on a bright
and beautiful day.
Numbers were not high but still the
Simmental exhibitors should be applauded
for putting forward some quality
youngstock before me. They were a credit
to our breed and all well presented.
We kicked off the day with the Junior
heifer class for heifers born in 2017. Top
of the line was Cleenagh Ivy, a very sweet
heifer with real presence and femininity,
she was very eye catching and had drawn
me to her as soon as she came into the
ring. Following her was another heifer
with real style which was Whitdrum Lady
Della, she was giving away quite a bit of
age and just carrying enough cover for her
age but a worthy runner up. Cleenagh Ivy
and Whitdrum Lady Della went on to be
my Female and Reserve Female Champion
respectively. The other two heifers in the
158 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
class will go on to do a good job, just lacking
the style of the first two heifers.
The second class of the day was for
heifers born from 1st July 2016 to 31st
December 2016 and we had six strong
entries forward. Leading the way for me
in this class was Lisglass Helena with her
stablemate Lisglass Honey in 2nd and
Cloone Hilda in 3rd. There was little to split
my first and second placed heifers; both
were very fleshy with plenty of style about
them. Lisglass Helena just won through on
locomotion and length over Lisglass Honey
and Cloone Hilda was again a sweet heifer
but just lacked the scale of my first two.
Onto the senior heifer class for heifers
born from 1st January 2016 to 30th June
2016 where we had three entries. My clear
winner in this class was Ranfurly Weikel
18th H2, a big powerful heifer. She has
great length and scale to her, and handled
herself very well. Castlemount Modesty
3 took 2nd place and Lummin Hattie was
3rd. Both my second and third prize heifers
were good examples of the breed but were
just overpowered on the day by the 1st
placed heifer.
Male entries were disappointing,
and we had just one class of yearling
bulls. However, my winner of this class,
Ranfurly Impeccable 17 lived up to his
name and definitely stole the show, going
on to be Male and Overall Champion and
following that with Interbreed Champion
Performance Recorded Bull. A very well
grown bull for his age, he has great style
and presence about him as well as great
length and clean lines, truly a credit to
his breeders. Lisglass Impressor 17 stood
second and followed on for Reserve Male
Champion. He was also a strong bull for his
age, but just lacking the sheer scale of the
winner with Woodford Iceberg 17 in a very
creditable 3rd place.
My Overall Champion had to be Ranfurly
Impeccable 17, as I said earlier, a bull with
real power and class and an easy winner
on the day. Following him was my Female
Champion, the very sweet and correct
Cleenagh Ivy who is a young heifer with a
bright future.
In conclusion I would like to thank all the
exhibitors for an excellent show of young
cattle they put in front of me as well as my
ring stewards and the Northern Ireland
Simmental Club and the Royal Ulster Show
Society for the wonderful hospitality shown
to me.

JUDGE:
MICHAEL BARLOW
My sincere thanks to the Great
Yorkshire Show and the British
Simmental Cattle Society for
the invitation to judge the 2018 English
National Show. I would also like to thank
all the stockmen and stockwomen who put
forward a tremendous show of Simmental
cattle for me to judge.
The first junior heifer class was won by
Chestermann Empire Stella, a very smart
growthy heifer, who showed plenty of style.
This is a difficult class to get a heifer ready
for; very easy to overdo, to kill them with
kindness.
The second junior heifer class was won
by Heathbrow Girlie’s Ivy, a very impressive
heifer with plenty of ring presence; she
moved well and was an easy winner.
My next class was won by a super heifer,
Sterling FCUK Impuls, who I’m sure we will
see a lot more of. This heifer went on to be
my Reserve Female Champion.
The next class was the Senior Heifer class,
born from April onwards. This was a difficult
class to judge for me as it came down to
personal preference. The top three heifers
in this class were very diverse, and could
have been placed differently by another

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
judge. The class winner was Popes
Princess Hettie; she had the most
ring presence, with a great body and
natural width.
Next was the strongest class of
the day, which was won by Popes
Rhona, who went on to be my Overall
Champion. She was eye-catching and
stylish. I was initially concerned that
she was over-fat on her tail head,
however, after examining her I decided
it felt more likely that she had banged
herself. I also need to mention the
second-placed heifer in this strong
class, Midhope Heavenly Light. She
was a big, and possibly the best bodied
heifer, and very good over her plates.
However, possibly due to an injury,
her movement on the day was wrong,
which stopped her going any further.
The next class had an easy winner
in Kennox Diva’s Gena, who was
making a super job of her calf, which
is what it’s all about. A very well made
cow that just needed to be a bit bigger.
Her bull calf went on to win the best
calf, and I’m sure we will see him in the
future.
Next class, I couldn’t get wrong; it
was won by Woodhall Erica, a very
correct cow, who just lacked the style
and presence to have pushed the
champion aside.
The senior cow class was won by
Sterling Petra’s Cairo, the biggest
animal on parade. She was up there
to win overall when standing, but with
locomotion very important, this was as
far as she could go.
The first of the bull classes was won
by Skerrington Iceman; he was an easy
winner - very modern with natural
width and a great top.
Next class was won by Williams I of
the Tiger, a very stylish, clean bodied
bull, but lacked the power to go
further.
The intermediate class was won by
Camus Harold.
The senior bull class only had the
one entry, and was won by Curaheen
Drifter. This bull carried his width all
the way to his tail, and he would later
stand Reserve Breed Champion. I had
seen the bull earlier in the year, and
actually thought he had improved as
the show season had gone on.
Many thanks for affording me the
honour of judging this show.

JUDGE:
JOHN DYKES
I
was greatly honoured to be invited by
the Royal Highland & Agricultural Society
and the Simmental Society to judge the
classes at the Royal Highland Show. To be
invited by one’s peers to place their entries
at such a prestigious event is a great vote
of confidence to any livestock breeder.
At the time of writing this report, our
herd is in the process of being prepared
for dispersal, but this in no way reduces
my enthusiasm for the breed or confidence
in a very exciting and progressive future
for Simmentals and their breeders. After
thirty-one years of involvement with this
breed at all levels, placing the cattle at the
Highland Show is indeed the icing on the
cake.
As a breeder of commercial cattle for
over fifty years, I have always been very
conscious of the qualities that lead to ease
of management and profitability. I hope
that my placings of the many quality cattle
paraded before me went some way to bear
this out.
As always at the ‘Highland’, the eleven
classes led off with the youngest female
class, yearling heifers. There were
nine heifers forward with the eventual
first place going to Frank Gwynne’s
Chestermann Empire Stella. A very stylish
young heifer who moved really well and
has the potential to grow into a very
impressive cow. Second was the Green’s
Corskie Inita and third was Richard
McCulloch’s Overhill House India.
The next age class was well supported

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
PITMUDIE HAVANA - Best Female, Reserve Overall Champion, Best Animal Bred by Exhibitor
& 1st place Female born on or between 01.01.16 and 30.06.16 at the Royal Highland Show
with thirteen of the sixteen entries
forward. The winner of this class was
Jimmy McMillan’s Sterling FCUK Impuls – a
very long, clean, whole coloured heifer
with lots of style and beautifully shown.
Perhaps not quite perfect behind but
nevertheless a worthy winner. Second
was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie Florin 2nd
and third was Jim & Patricia Goldie’s
Newbiemains Impressive.
The July to December 2016 class was
again well supported with twelve entries
forward. The Green’s Corskie Herlande
came out top in this strong class. A very
sound, good moving heifer who went on
to be Best Junior Female and eventually
Best Junior Animal of the breed. Second
and Reserve Junior Female was Gerald
Smith’s Drumsleed Hilight. She also
followed the first prize winner through to
become Reserve Overall Junior Champion.
Third in the class was Michael Durno’s
Auchorachan Letta H1.
The class for heifers born between 1st
January and end of June 2016 was slightly
smaller, but of a very high standard.
The eventual winner of a very close-run
decision was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie
Havana, beating Jimmy & Vikki Wood’s
Popes Rhona. Havana showed more breed
character through her head and front end
and went on to be Female Champion and
Reserve Overall in a very strong female
section. Third in this class to these two

impressive animals was Corskie Harp from the Greens.
Heifers born in 2015 was a strong class, with the older
animals nursing calves. The winner was Gerald Smith’s
Drumsleed Gretel. A well grown heifer with a tidy udder,
making a good job of rearing her calf. Second was Andy
Wilson’s Cairnview Tilly 4th. Not quite as strong as the first
prize winner but correct in every way and rearing a classy
calf very well. This combination went on to win the prize
for the Best Cow & Calf, judged as a pair. Third in the class
was a younger heifer from Richard McCulloch, Overhill
House Giggle.
The junior cow class had only three forward with
Woodhall Erica in first place. A well grown dark coloured
young cow from Richard McCulloch, nursing a good calf
- a cow who will have a great future when she matures.
Second was Gerald Smith’s Drumsleed Farina and third
was Tom Henderson’s Annick Trixibelle 15th.
The senior cow class was the smallest in the female
section with only two forward but was won by the very
impressive Sterling Petra’s Cairo. This seven-year old
cow was nursing a well reared calf but is starting to show
signs of age in her locomotion. She went on to be Reserve
Female Champion. Second was Dargill Cassie, also seven
years old and in her working clothes, nursing a bull calf
very well.
The bull classes were not quite so well supported as the
females. The junior class of bulls had seven forward out of
thirteen entries and was won by Corskie Infinity, a yearling
bull from the Greens. A very free moving and growthy bull
with all the right attributes to be a good herd sire. Second
was Frank Gwynne’s Chestermann Imran and third was
Skerrington Iceman from the Goldies.
Intermediate bulls was a little better-filled class with
twelve forward, to be led by Blackford Iolair. A red
and white bull with exceptionally good fleshing and
thickness throughout who went on to win the Interbreed
Beefbreeder/Breedplan championship the following day.
Second was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie Inverurie and third
was Gerald Smith’s Drumsleed Iceman.
The first senior bull class had only two entries forward
and was won by Camus Harold, a two-year old bull from
the Woods. Very well fleshed, plenty of width and a great
mover. Second was Overhill House Hercules from Richard
McCulloch.
The last class of aged bulls only had two, but they were
very impressive. Winner of the class was Blackford Galaxy

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
from Michael Barlow. On his second visit to Ingliston
under new ownership, he surpassed last year’s successes
and went on to win the Male Championship and the
Overall Breed Champion. He is a big bull carrying a lot of
condition but still moved actively and freely. The second
bull was Richard McCulloch’s Curaheen Drifter, also an
extremely thick, well fleshed bull but he did not move as
freely as the first.
After placing all the seventy-two animals in the classes,
it was very satisfying to have all the first prize winners line
up in a very pleasing show of top-class cattle. Blackford
Galaxy making an outstanding Overall Champion with
Pitmudie Havana a very worth Reserve.
I would just like to conclude by thanking and
congratulating all the exhibitors for presenting such a fine
show of cattle on a day when the weather was perfect for
the event. Also, a big thank you to the directors, stewards
and Scottish Simmental Club who, as always, excelled
in their organisation of the judging, the welcome and
the hospitality extended to Kate and myself on what will
always be a memorable day.
Thank you.

STERLING PETRA’S CAIRO - Best Cow with Calf at Foot, Female
Champion, Overall Champion and 1st Place Cow, in calf or with

Show
JUDGE:
STEWART
STRONACH
Firstly, I would like to thank the RWAS
for the kind invitation to judge the
Simmental classes at their prestigious
event. It was a privilege and an honour.
The hospitality, friendliness and welcome
shown by the show, the Welsh Simmental
club and exhibitors was greatly appreciated
by myself and Fiona.
In the first class, the senior bulls
exhibited three great examples of the
Simmental breed. It was a difficult class to
judge and I finally placed Blackford Galaxy
first, thinking to myself that it was going to
take something very special to beat him in
the championship. Curaheen Drifter was a
close second and Camus Harold third.
There was only one entry in class two,
Williams I of the Tiger, a well grown correct
bull that received the first prize.
In class three, the Williams herd was
doing the business again with a real fleshy
young bull, Williams Invincible, who was
placed first. Following in second place was
Storersmith Infrared.
As the Male Championship commenced,
Galaxy led the first prize animals into the
ring. To me, he was the obvious Male
Champion. The Reserve went to Curaheen
Drifter, the bull that stood second to him in
his class.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
WILLIAMS INVINCIBLE 17 - 1st Place Bull, born

The first of the female classes, class 4,
saw two cows enter the ring, both rearing
calves. I placed Sterling Petra’s Cairo first.
As soon as she walked into the ring, her
power and show presence was impossible
to go past. Second was Woodhall Erica
owned by Richard McCulloch. A hard
working cow with a great udder, making a
tremendous job of her heifer calf.
In class 5 first place went to Popes
Rhona, a well grown and classy heifer.
Second went to Overhill House Hesse, a
stylish dark red heifer.
Cwarre Rosie’s Hyacinth won class 6, a
sweet heifer with lots of character, followed
closely by Sterling Ellie’s Heidi.
Class 7 had six entries. An easy first was
Jimmy McMillan’s Sterling FCUK Impuls.
Second was Popes Nelly’s Ilia and a very
close third was Storersmith Iridessa.
The Female Championship went to
Sterling Petra’s Cairo, with Sterling FCUK
Impuls in reserve.
The Overall Championship was a very
impressive line-up, with two really good
examples of the breed, but on the day the
cow, Sterling Petra’s Cairo for the Borlase
family shone out as my champion, with
Michael Barlow’s Blackford Galaxy as
reserve.
I would like to congratulate everyone
who took part in the show and thank
everyone who made it a very memorable
day.

ISLAVALE EMERALD - Overall Champion, Female Champion, Best Animal bred by Exhibitor, Senior
Female Champion and 1st place Cow, born before 31.07.15 at the Scottish National Show
SCOTTISH
NATIONAL
Show
JUDGE:
SIMON KEY
To start I’d like to thank the Scottish
Simmental Club for the absolute
honour and privilege of judging their
National Show. The high standard of cattle
put before me were an absolute credit to
the breeders and the Simmental breed.
Class 1. Bulls born before 31/12/16.
Quite a difficult class with three different
types of bull. The first place went to
Curaheen Drifter, a well fleshed, long,
deep bodied bull who moved very well on
the day. Second was Newbiemains Fame
and Fortune, who on the day out powered
Auroch Hudson who was giving away quite
a bit of age.
Class 2. First was Blackford Iolair, a
very big, growthy bull who was a different
type to the second place Islavale Irish, a
long fleshy bull who had plenty of breed
character. Blackford Iolair then went on to
be Reserve Male Junior Champion. Third
was Pitmudie Inverurie, a deep, well fleshed
bull, just lacking the length and power of
the two bulls placed above him.
Class 3. First was Islavale Imperial, long,
well fleshed, great movement and full of
breed character, a bull that is going to
have an outstanding future. He went on
to be my Junior Champion and Reserve
Male Champion. Second was Islavale Isaac,
another good bull brought from the same
stable. Well fleshed but on the day didn’t
move as well as his yard mate. Third was
Corskie Infinity, a good bull just lacking the
flesh and power of the 2 bulls above him.
Class 4. First was Cairnorrie Irn-Bru,

DRUMSLEED FARINA 14 - Reserve Overall Champion, Reserve Female Champion
and 2nd place Cow, born before 31.07.15 at the Scottish National Show
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
a good young modern bull, well fleshed
for his age and another one to look out
for in the future. Second was Woodhall
Innerwick, another tidy bull but just lacked
the flesh of the bull placed above him.
Third was Blackford Island Legacy, a good
calf but for me on the day just lacked the
style of the 2 bulls above him.
Class 5. First was Islavale Emerald.
From the moment she walked in the ring I
knew she was going to take some stopping.
A cow with amazing presence and full of
breed character. Everything I looked for
in a top class cow. She went on to be my
Female Champion, then Overall Simmental
Champion and Reserve Interbreed
Champion. Second was Drumsleed Farina,
another wonderful cow put before me
who, on any other day, would have been
a worthy champion but unfortunately
was just out-powered. Drumsleed Farina
then went on to be my Reserve Female
Champion. Third was Drumsleed Gretel,
another good cow working hard, but just
wasn’t as good on the plates as her stable
mate on the day. Drumsleed Farina and
Drumsleed Gretel also went on to be part
of the best Group of Three animals and
became Reserve Interbreed Group of
Three.
Class 6. First was Pitmudie Havana, a
very smart heifer, full of breed character

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
GARMOUTH DUMANDY’S ISABELLA - Junior Female Champion, Reserve Junior Champion and 1st
place Heifer, born between 01.01.17 & 31.06.17 at the Scottish National Show
and I’m sure she will become a good
breeder. Second was Corskie He-enna,
another cracking heifer who will also go on.
Third place was Pitgaveny Gamble, another
good strong heifer who on the day just
lacked the condition of the 2 heifers above
her.
Class 7. First was Blackford Hyalite,
a super strong heifer with a fantastic
head and big ears to match. Full of
breed character and a worthy winner of
this strong class. Second was Corskie
Herlande, another good heifer and a
slightly different type to my winner but
still I’m sure will become a very good cow.
Third, Corskie Herb, another good heifer
but in my opinion on the day a little shorter
in length than her stable mate.
Class 8. First was Garmouth Dumandy’s
Isabella. A tough class, but Isabella was
full of breed character and a rib longer
than her class mates. She went on to be my Junior Female
Champion and Reserve Junior Champion. Second was
Corskie Inita, another sweet heifer who just lacked the
length of the first place heifer. Third was Pitmudie Florin
2nd, another cracking heifer and very good on the plates.
Class 9. First placed was Islavale Illusion, a nice red,
clean, long and modern heifer who, at an early age, shows
great promise. She went on to be my Reserve Junior
Female Champion. Second place was Cairnorrie Clarissa
3rd, a nice heifer with good breed characteristics. Third
place was Auchorachan Hilly, a lovely long heifer but on
the day didn’t move as well as the 2 placed above her.
Class 10. Three lovely calves were put before me and in
BLACKFORD IOLAIR 17 - Reserve Junior Male Champion and 1st place Bull, born between 01.01.17
and 31.03.17 at the Scottish National Show
first place I put Drumsleed Janine, a super sweet calf who
will hopefully follow in her dam’s footsteps. Second place
was Islavale Jewel, a good red heifer but slightly lacking the
width of Janine. Third was Quarryhill Jen, another super
calf who has done well off her dam. I’m sure she will be in
the show ring when she is older.
Class 11. Best pair for me on the day were Islavale
Imperial and Islavale Irish who were a uniformed match.
Long fleshy bulls with great potential.
Finally I would like to thank the Turriff Show for their
hospitality; Tom Henderson and his family and Richard
Pettit for their organisation which led to the smooth
running of classes, and Neil Shand for his class stewarding.

CWARRE IDAHO 17 - Junior Male Champion, Male Champion, Overall

JUDGE:
CHRIS
MARTINDALE
It was a great honour to be invited
to judge the Welsh National Show in
Pembrokeshire and I would like to thank
the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society for
giving me this opportunity.
I would also like to thank all the
exhibitors who worked extremely hard
to get their stock looking tremendous
and presenting me with some difficult
decisions to make. Everyone made me
very welcome and the stewards helped
to make the day run smoothly, a most
enjoyable day.
My first class was the young April bulls
and I was immediately impressed by my
first placed bull Cwarre Idaho – a well
fleshed bull with lots of style. In second
place was a bull with potential for the
future, Crugmelyn Idwal. Third place was
a strong bull Crugmelyn Ilky Bar Kid and
fourth was a young bull, Cwarre Iowa, with
exceptional length and one to watch for
the future.
The second class was young bull born
after 1st September 2017 and although
there was only one in the class, Gwili Idwal
was a sweet calf with a tremendous back
end, full of muscle.

DEERHURST IMPULSE - Junior Female Champion, Female
Champion, Reserve Overall Champion & 1st place Heifer, born on
or between 01.01.17 and 31.03.17 at the Welsh National Show
The senior cow class had
only one entry, a 7 year-old
cow, Cefngwlad Cleopatra,
who was working hard and
doing her calf well.
The junior heifer class
was won by Cwarre Rosie’s
Hyacinth, a well-balanced
calf that walked well and
just beaten into second
place was Sterling Ellie’s
Heidi, a tall calf in natural
condition.
The January class was
won by Deerhurst Impulse,
a very correct heifer which
exhibited great presence in
the ring. She went on to be
Junior & Female Champion.
Second was Mainview
Jezabel, a big strong heifer
but just not as neat as the
first. Third was Dyfed Foxy
Lady 2nd who just lacked condition on the
day.
The April class was won by Crugmelyn
Icing Sugar, a super heifer with lots of
potential, second from the same exhibitor
was Crugmelyn Icecream, a long heifer
that did just not quite have the style of the
winner.
180 www.britishsimmental.co.uk
GWILI IDWAL 17 - Reserve Male Champion & 1st place Bull
Calf, born on or after 01.09.17 at the Welsh National Show
The calf class was won by Cwarre
Rosie’s Ilex, a very sweet young heifer who
exhibited herself well on parade. Second
was a very young calf, Cefngwlad Jennie
which just lacked the power of my winner.
My Champion was the very stylish bull
Cwarre Idaho and my Reserve Champion
was the sweet heifer Deerhurst Impulse.

Club Secretaries
ANN JUKES
I
have been married to Tony for 52 years!!!!! We have
three lovely daughters and four wonderful grandchildren.
We farmed for twenty years at Tenterden in Kent. I ran
the farm and Tony worked in the City to pay for it. We ran
350 North Country mule sheep using Suffolk Tups. I had
always had a yearning to try some cattle.
It was in July 1989 and I was going in to Ashford Market
just to have a look! As he left for work Tony said, “ don’t
spend too much money but don’t buy rubbish”. I had very
little knowledge of cattle, but I saw what I thought were
beautiful. They were three lovely pale coloured heifers. I
did not know then what a Simmental was but from then
on, I was hooked, and it has cost Tony money ever since!!
We have both thoroughly enjoyed breeding Simmentals
and equally we have had our lives enriched by all those
supporters of the breed we have met and some of whom
have become our very closest friends.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2018
HEATHER DUFF
I
live at Pitmudie Farm, Brechin. We run 120 commercial cows and 60
pedigree cows.
The pedigree herd was founded in 2011 with a Drumsleed cow that
was in the commercial herd, her daughter Beaujolais started up the
Pitmudie Prefix and off we went from there.
I took a late interest in the farm and livestock. My decision to join the
Young Farmers and compete in the overwintering competitions and
helping at home more changed my perspective on farming.
I then ventured up to SRUC Aberdeen to study Agriculture and after a
brilliant five years I graduated with a BSc Honours degree.
A year on I have started a part time job with Agri-Lloyd as an
independent sales agent for Angus and spend the rest of my time with
pedigrees.

IBR POLICY FOR THE BREED
• For IBR sale rules please see pages 10 - 11.
www.britishsimmental.co.uk

SALE PRECHECKS
Please be aware of the following before entering Simmental Cattle to any of our Society sales:
• Testicles
Bull’s testicles will be measured and inspected by the veterinary surgeon. They must be a
minimum size of 36 cm in circumference (14 Months), and 38 cm (over 18 months), measured
at the widest point of the scrotum. The vet retains the right at his discretion to reject any
bulls with uneven or soft testicles. Progeny from bulls with small/uneven/soft testicles
which fail inspections will not be accepted into the BSCS herd book 10 months after the sale
inspection date. Bulls which may have suffered injury will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
• Warts
Animals with active warts must be treated by the member’s veterinary surgeon and a vet’s
certificate should be available for inspection at the Sale
• Teeth
Teeth must make proper contact with the dental pad of the upper jaw but due allowance
will be made for the age and dental development of the animal. Any animal with severely
undershot or severely overshot jaws will be rejected and progeny from such animals will not
be accepted into the BSCS herd book 10 months after the sale inspection date. Where the
veterinary surgeon declares that an animal is marginally overshot or undershot that animal
may still be offered through the sale but will be excluded from the show. The Auctioneer will
announce that at the point of inspection of animal was found to be marginally overshot or
undershot
• General Health
Animals with active infections, a contagious disease, or a disorder or condition, may be
rejected by the veterinary surgeon. Minor injuries may be treated by a veterinary surgeon in
the market but this must be announced at the time of sale. The decisions of the veterinary
surgeon appointed by the Society are final and binding. Any animal which is considered by
the vet to be not in a healthy and proper condition to be presented as representing a good
specimen of the breed at an official collective sale, will be rejected.
• Feet
Please ensure that feet and legs are sound and locomotion is satisfactory.
• Check that the animals are of good conformation/condition and meet the required minimum
weight for age as per the chart below:-
