President’s
Message
s I come to the end of my first year as President, I can
say that the year has flown in and I have thoroughly
Aenjoyed attending all the various events over this time.
At the outset, I would like to thank Neil, Julie, Karen
and Sue for their hard work on our behalf. The office
management and day to day running of the Society business
is in very safe hands. As it’s not always possible to attend
every event across the U.K., I would like to thank Michael and
all the other Council members for representing the Society at
events throughout the year.
Once again, we have returned a profit, bringing our
reserves to a record £858k. Council is committed to returning
some of these profits to members by subsidising scanning,
pre-sale semen testing and also classification (no society
administration charges). As we continue to look at our
options regarding the office at Stoneleigh, there is no doubt
that some of our reserves will be required, regardless of the
decision made.
It’s very pleasing to see the Breed well represented at
Shows throughout the country, especially when Interbreed
championships are claimed in strong competitions.
Congratulations to all winners involved and to all members
who take the time and make the considerable effort to show
Simmentals. I am fully aware of the challenges involved in
this, especially the TB issue in some areas.
Our main sales in Stirling remain strong with record
averages and good clearances. Council continue to look at
ways to improve these even more, whilst at the same time
remaining conscious of the fact that members do not want
to be burdened with too many rules and regulations.
It is however imperative that we investigate any way
to stay a step ahead of our competitors, and increase the
Simmental share in the marketplace. Sales in other areas are
improving, with Carlisle being the main challenge. Hopefully
the new Spring format will help in this area.
The Society continued to support Shows, commercial farm
walks and monitor farms throughout the year. Ian Willison’s
monitor farm has progressed to the next level and will now
look at milk supply and unproven against high accuracy bulls.
Congratulations to Ian on reaching the final 3 in the Farmers
Weekly Beef Farmer of the Year.
The Young Members event this year at the Denizes herd
in Lancashire was very well supported from all regions.
Many thanks to the Barlow family for hosting an exceptional
9event and providing a full programme with something for
everyone. Thanks also to David and Christine Loftus for
entertaining the group on the second day and showing us
their Blackpool herd as well as their maize maze.
Robin Boyd
President
Congratulations to all the Young Members who took part
in the event and especially the winners and the 4 regional
winners who will represent the Society in Denmark next
year. Thanks also to Emma and everyone involved in the
organisation of a very successful weekend.
The inaugural meeting of the Futures Group was held in
September. This was aimed at our Young Members who may
be influential within the breed in later years. It is important
to listen to fresh ideas from the younger generation and
hopefully take these into account in future Council decisions.
It’s always regrettable to see prominent herds being
dispersed, as was the case with Thursford, Deerhurst and
Sterling. We thank them sincerely for their dedication to the
breed over many years. However these dispersals are always
an excellent opportunity for new and existing members
to strengthen their own herds. Congratulations to all from
the Sterling herd on breaking the female record price twice
during the dispersal, setting a new record of 28,000gns.
The Stirling October Sale was disappointing in terms of
clearance rate, but again the average increased. On top of
a very difficult year with regard to the weather, we also sold
quite a few young bulls at the dispersal sale, so possibly
taking away some potential buyers later on. However, the
Breed sold more bulls in total than any other at the sale.
Many thanks to our retiring Council members Penny
Lally, John Rixon and Aled Davies for their years of dedicated
service to the Breed. Welcome to our new Council members
Bridget Borlase, Jim Goldie and Anthony Davies and I hope
they will enjoy their term representing members in their
areas.
Could I pass on my own personal sympathies and those of
the Society to the families of members lost over the past year.
Finally, many thanks to my vice President Michael for all his
help and support, all Council members for giving their time
and expertise and Neil and all the staff for making my first
year as President very enjoyable.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
VOLUNTARY
SEMEN TESTING
T
INITIATIVE COMMENCING
SPRING 2018.
o 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 animals UK number and
include 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, and 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
and any problem 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
infertile 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.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
A New Breeder’s
Perspective
1
Nik and Claire Shepherd, Blackfriar Simmentals
5 September 2013. 11 pm. Three heifers purchased
from the Leading Ladies Sale in Carlisle walked
tentatively off the lorry and on to our holding
in Berkshire, the culmination of a decision two years
previously to fulfil a long-standing ambition to enter the
pedigree market.
Fast forward four years, a bunch of calves, our own
stock bull and a move to a new farming opportunity in
Northamptonshire later, and Neil Shand asked us to share
our experiences of coming to the Society as a new breeder.
Our first thoughts were: ‘Well that’s easy. Do your
homework and keep your money in your pocket for a year
longer than you planned.’ But what does that homework
look like in practice?
Starting a pedigree herd should not be a case of just
buying a few animals at the first sale you go to or from the
first breeder that you meet. It’s a long term game which
demands a long term approach to planning. Attend as
13 30 - 31
Foundation cow family at Blackfriar Simmentals
many Society sales as you can while leaving your money
at home. If possible attend the whole cycle of sales in a
calendar year. If you can take in a dispersal sale as well
then so much the better. You are going to be making a
significant outlay on your foundation females, so it is worth
taking a few days out to research the sharp end of the
market - but buy nothing.
Build a picture of the type of animal you want, so
that when you put your hand in your pocket you buy
exactly that. Remember that there are different styles of
animal within the breed. We’ll leave for another day the
arguments over whether we should be breeding curly
coated animals (but don’t let anyone pretend that two flat
coated animals can’t throw a curly coated calf) or which
colours should be preferred. You will read a lot about
conformation and feet and there is much to be said for
being discerning here. There are beef characteristics and
there are show characteristics, but the one animal won’t
163
necessarily exhibit both. Some things are matters of
personal preference, others more objective, but all
have an impact on market and value. Make sure you
know the market for the style you choose. You’ll hope
to keep that animal for the next ten years or more –
buy the best you can when you start and it will pay
you back.
We are fortunate to live in a world where we have
never had so much data so easily available from a
few taps on your phone. Does the type of animal that
you are drawn to sell easily? In a slow market with
65% clearance at sales, would that style hold their
value or have to be beefed? Is a cheaper heifer going
to produce you profitable progeny? Will an animal
that has won a bunch of rosettes throw sons that a
commercial buyer will want? The answers to those
questions are for you to determine, but they are questions
you need to ask.
Assess the breeders at the sales as well as the cattle.
Remember you are buying the breeder as much as you
are buying the stock. If you see a type of animal you like
but say that you aren’t buying today, and the seller quietly
hands you their business card and says ‘Come and see us
some time’ then they are probably someone you can do
business with. If they give you the hard sell and tell you
that this animal is the best there is and there will never be
another opportunity like today, then they’re probably not.
And here’s another thing. Farming is probably the only
industry where successful people will freely share their
knowledge with you. A successful factory owner won’t
invite their competitors in for a nose around, but any cattle
breeder will usually be delighted to show you their herd.
We have been privileged to enjoy farm visits to a number
of breeders across England, Scotland and Northern
Ireland. We have learned something new from every visit,
and from every breeder who has come to visit us. You
won’t want to buy from every breeder you visit, but the
ones you have confidence in will stand out – they will be
the ones who work hard to make sure you find the animal
you want rather than the animal they want to sell you.
New breeders are in an unrivalled position to make
use of the tools available to assist buyers. You start with
a blank canvas for your health status, meaning you can
choose to buy only from those breeders with the health
status that you are aiming for. There is no reason at all for
you to buy in problems. Start as you mean to go on.
EBVs are a sometimes controversial topic, but they
are a useful tool if, and only if, you take time to read the
guidance and understand the mechanics. Scrutinise not
just the figures but also the data behind them. Is it a
meaningful data set? Do not be afraid to ask the breeder
how many calves from that sire have been performance
recorded to produce the EBVs – the more the better.
Remember that EBVs are a tool to assist decision making.
Contrary to popular grumbling, no one advocates buying
on EBVs alone.
The latest tool available is female classification. Easy
to understand and based on independent assessment
rather than breeder supplied data, classification should
Blackfriar Inferno (P) 17
be something that helps any new breeder assess whether
they are buying in to a cow family that consistently
produces high quality progeny. If a seller has not moved
towards classification then you should at least ask them
why. The Blackfriar herd will undergo classification in
2018.
Finally, an integral part of the new breeder experience is
entering the world of showing, and it is little acknowledged
that this can be an intimidating (and, yes, sometimes
cliquey) environment. Even the smallest shows can vary
in terms of how welcoming fellow breeders are to new
exhibitors. This is all the more challenging to those of
us who were not fortunate enough to cut our teeth in
the young handler classes and are now too old to do
so (although being asked by one judge if Nik, then aged
35, was planning on entering the young handler class
that afternoon was a pleasant ego boost!). Small shows
in particular can struggle to attract a significant field of
entries, and we all owe a duty to support the organisers to
ensure that showing retains a meaningful role, especially at
a local level.
We would recommend that anyone new to showing
seeks out a buddy member to give them some support and
advice at their first couple of shows, and we have found
that most members are all too happy to do this. We are
indebted to the Storer-Smiths and the Bishops for their
help and encouragement at a number of shows. To those
of you who might feel less pleased to see new faces at the
show you have been entering for years, we would say that
everyone was new to their jobs once, and in a tightening
market with an average farmer age of 59, new participants
represent an opportunity not a threat. If every member
resolves to mentor just one new person at one show in
2018 imagine what that could do to raise the profile of our
breed in the long run.
We would be delighted to share our experiences (and
mistakes!) with any new breeder who wants to get in touch.
Come and see us some time.

Simmental breeders
reaping rewards from IVP
New cutting-edge technology replacing MOET
immental breeders are reaping rewards from
introducing In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP), a new
Scost effective welfare friendly service from specialist
artificial breeding technology company, AB Europe. The
IVP procedure, which is destined to replace traditional
MOET, has been successfully developed and proven in
New Zealand where over 4,000 embryos are annually
transferred.
“IVP delivers all the benefits of MOET in enabling
cattle breeders to exploit the value of their high genetic
merit animals,” explains AB Europe vet, Gavin Tait. “The
IVP process combines donor oocyte (eggs) collection,
maturation and fertilisation, followed by a culture period
and then either transfer or freezing of the subsequent
embryos. AB Europe offers a unique on farm donor
collection – a process that takes approximately 15 minutes
per donor, thereby minimising stress.”
The culture process follows in the company’s Edinburgh
based £100k new state of the art laboratory. IVP is carried
out by AB Europe’s highly skilled and committed staff who
have been specifically trained in IVP techniques in New
Zealand.
Westridge increasing genetic gain with
IVP
Gareth Ward has implanted seven fresh embryos
resulting in five live calves, and he says the IVP process was
simple, welfare friendly and cost effective. Each was by
Grangewood Baron 10, the herd’s 19,000gns stock bull who
is within the breed’s top 5%.
“We have introduced IVP to take our 50 cow Westridge
herd to the next level. Whilst it was established 15 years
ago, we have recently taken a more focused approach
to breeding bulls and replacement heifers for the
marketplace, and are aiming for the herd to be within the
breed’s top 10%,” explains Gareth who farms a mixed unit

Gavin Tait
which also carries a 300 cow suckler herd with his father,
Martyn based at Newbigging, Carnwath.
“IVP is a service which is enabling us to select specific
sires to cross to some of our best breeding females to
produce high genetic merit progeny for sale. It will also
help to widen the gene pool and provide us with more
choice of homebred bulls – we are very focused on
biosecurity and we minimise the number of purchases.”
IVP was introduced to three of Westridge’s highest
genetic merit females. “We had two very good cows coming
to the end of their lives, plus another, Westridge Volvo
Sheila who unfortunately was a problem breeder.
“The collection process was so straight forward. In
fact, that was the aspect of IVP which attracted us in the
first place. We had previously used MOET which required
a series of hormone injections for superovulation, we
completed the process by the rule book, however we didn’t
collect a single embryo.
“In contrast, IVP requires no injections, consequently the
donor cows don’t suffer any stress; we simply drafted them
off for Gavin, the collection took approximately 20 minutes
per animal and the AB Europe team offered a great level
of service from beginning to end,” Gareth explains. “Just
one straw of semen was used to cover all the ovum and
the collection resulted in between three and seven fresh
embryos per cow.
“The recipients from our suckler herd were already
housed, on a rising plane of nutrition and in condition
score 3 when Gavin returned to implant the embryos and
again, the job was very straight forward. The process has
also had a spin off, Westridge Volvo Sheila is now naturally
cycling and in calf.”
He adds: “IVP is working really well for us, and we are
planning to use again in order to continue accelerating the
herd’s genetic progress; we’ve found a process that takes
up little time, is more welfare friendly and what’s more it’s
achieved success.”

President’s
Message
As I come to the end of my first year as President, I can
say that the year has flown in and I have thoroughly
enjoyed attending all the various events over this time.
At the outset, I would like to thank Neil, Julie, Karen
and Sue for their hard work on our behalf. The office
management and day to day running of the Society business
is in very safe hands. As it’s not always possible to attend
every event across the U.K., I would like to thank Michael and
all the other Council members for representing the Society at
events throughout the year.
Once again, we have returned a profit, bringing our
reserves to a record £858k. Council is committed to returning
some of these profits to members by subsidising scanning,
pre-sale semen testing and also classification (no society
administration charges). As we continue to look at our
options regarding the office at Stoneleigh, there is no doubt
that some of our reserves will be required, regardless of the
decision made.
It’s very pleasing to see the Breed well represented at
Shows throughout the country, especially when Interbreed
championships are claimed in strong competitions.
Congratulations to all winners involved and to all members
who take the time and make the considerable effort to show
Simmentals. I am fully aware of the challenges involved in
this, especially the TB issue in some areas.
Our main sales in Stirling remain strong with record
averages and good clearances. Council continue to look at
ways to improve these even more, whilst at the same time
remaining conscious of the fact that members do not want
to be burdened with too many rules and regulations.
It is however imperative that we investigate any way
to stay a step ahead of our competitors, and increase the
Simmental share in the marketplace. Sales in other areas are
improving, with Carlisle being the main challenge. Hopefully
the new Spring format will help in this area.
The Society continued to support Shows, commercial farm
walks and monitor farms throughout the year. Ian Willison’s
monitor farm has progressed to the next level and will now
look at milk supply and unproven against high accuracy bulls.
Congratulations to Ian on reaching the final 3 in the Farmers
Weekly Beef Farmer of the Year.
The Young Members event this year at the Denizes herd
in Lancashire was very well supported from all regions.
Many thanks to the Barlow family for hosting an exceptional
event and providing a full programme with something for
everyone. Thanks also to David and Christine Loftus for
entertaining the group on the second day and showing us
their Blackpool herd as well as their maize maze.
Robin Boyd
President
Congratulations to all the Young Members who took part
in the event and especially the winners and the 4 regional
winners who will represent the Society in Denmark next
year. Thanks also to Emma and everyone involved in the
organisation of a very successful weekend.
The inaugural meeting of the Futures Group was held in
September. This was aimed at our Young Members who may
be influential within the breed in later years. It is important
to listen to fresh ideas from the younger generation and
hopefully take these into account in future Council decisions.
It’s always regrettable to see prominent herds being
dispersed, as was the case with Thursford, Deerhurst and
Sterling. We thank them sincerely for their dedication to the
breed over many years. However these dispersals are always
an excellent opportunity for new and existing members
to strengthen their own herds. Congratulations to all from
the Sterling herd on breaking the female record price twice
during the dispersal, setting a new record of 28,000gns.
The Stirling October Sale was disappointing in terms of
clearance rate, but again the average increased. On top of
a very difficult year with regard to the weather, we also sold
quite a few young bulls at the dispersal sale, so possibly
taking away some potential buyers later on. However, the
Breed sold more bulls in total than any other at the sale.
Many thanks to our retiring Council members Penny
Lally, John Rixon and Aled Davies for their years of dedicated
service to the Breed. Welcome to our new Council members
Bridget Borlase, Jim Goldie and Anthony Davies and I hope
they will enjoy their term representing members in their
areas.
Could I pass on my own personal sympathies and those of
the Society to the families of members lost over the past year.
Finally, many thanks to my vice President Michael for all his
help and support, all Council members for giving their time
and expertise and Neil and all the staff for making my first
year as President very enjoyable.

IBR POLICY
GUIDELINES AND
SALE RULES.
The BSCS has championed about health very strongly
in the past 6 years and carries the phrase “promoting
Health in breeding cattle” in all our advertising and
promotional material.
There was of course some resistance in 2010 and 2011
when the major sales rules on BVD and Johnes were
introduced and also that all vendors be members of
CHeCS approved schemes. So where has this lead us to
date, in the past 5 years we have the highest average price
increases across all breeds at Stirling and we continually
have the highest clearance rates at Stirling, we have sold
more bulls than the Charolais twice in this period, October
2013 and February 2016, something that was never
achieved during the so called heydays of the 80s and 90s.
Clearly this was not all down to Health Status, the cattle
the breeders are producing have improved and the breed
marketing strategy has improved and all these things
are part of the “total package” and have driven the breed
forward. As a Society IBR was the next logical disease to
tackle, albeit with full knowledge of the complexity of the
disease. We feel it is a vital step for all members to find out
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 and therefore
take this potential sale opportunity away from breeders,
regardless of how small it might be at this time. Between
80 and 90% of bulls sold at pedigree sales enter the
commercial herd. There is no reason why these bulls
should not also undergo the same vaccination, quarantine
and test protocol.
So the decision was made to start with heifers only, a
far higher % of heifers sold through Society Sales remain
in pedigree herds than bulls, therefore it was logical to
try and protect the expanding herd or the new herd,
whilst at the same time we are fully aware that we are not
guaranteeing IBR free cattle, however we are reducing
the risk and any action to reduce the risk should be
encouraged. In the future this rule might be applied to
bulls as well.
Around 60% of heifers sold at society sales will go to
pedigree herds, therefore a pedigree breeder wishing
to establish or expand their herd and maintain a high
health status can buy cattle with the best chance (but no
guarantee) they are free from IBR and protected.
The purchaser should seek comfort from purchasing
stock that has been vaccinated with a marker inactivated
vaccine, been blood tested clear of wild type IBR and has
remained in quarantine since that date. The cattle cannot
be presented as IBR free. This is deemed as the best that
can be done to minimise the risk of a purchaser buying
in IBR into his herd. For the avoidance of doubt a heifer
will remain a heifer until she calves and becomes a calved
heifer, therefore the rule applies to all maiden and in calf
heifers.
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a Bovine
Herpes Virus. As with all Herpes viruses, once an animal
has become infected, it remains infected 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 disease, as these cattle still have the virus
in their body (they are ‘latently’ infected). You should not
buy antibody positive cattle if you are IBR free.
Movement of such animals into a herd is often the
source of new infections. 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
010 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

to reduce the intensity and duration of the disease and
to reduce shedding of the virus. Vaccination will
always be more 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. The table below
summarises the more common vaccines and programmes
for IBR. There are separate indications for managing
abortion and foetal infection with IBR and also for calves
younger than 3 months old. Please seek veterinary advice if
this applies to your herd.
There are two main types of vaccine one being a Live
vaccine and the other is Inactive or dead. Within each
category there are Marker and Non-marker vaccines. A
Live vaccine is often used intra-nasally or into the muscle.
When given intra-nasally the protection begins sooner but
antibody levels are unlikely to be as high. As the virus is
alive it can replicate in the animal and could theoretically
‘infect’ unvaccinated animals. Inactivated vaccines are
never given by the intranasal route. The virus is inactive
and cannot replicate within the animal. Antibody levels are
generally high and long lasting.
Marker vaccines were introduced to allow differentiation
between cattle that are vaccinated and those that have
been exposed to wild virus. It is 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 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.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
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 animals UK number and
include 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, and 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
and any problem 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
infertile 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.

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 and 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.

After being brought up with my grandfather pushing me to carry
on the tradition of breeding Northern Dairy Shorthorns, I saw my
first Simmental x heifer calves when I was 8 years old, you could
say I’ve been obsessed with the breed ever since. With the chance to go
to Simmental 78 at Bingley Hall at 14 years old, bought with all 420gns I
had – Willingale Freeze, bred 9 heifers and one bull. With one daughter
producing Perth champion Milnafau Vagabond, later selling at 10,500gns.
Now we are proud to produce 6-8 bulls annually for the February sale, with
our most recent consignment averaging 6,800gns for 7 in February 2017.
We also run the oldest UK established herd of Meuse Rhine Issel, dual
purpose dairy cattle that we produce milk for Arla. Whilst being a major
partner at our Ifor Williams distributorship, selling on average 10 trailers
every day of the year. We run a large hire fleet of every conceivable type of
trailer, self-drive horse boxes and motorhome sales.

NORMAN ROBSON
I
farm in partnership with my father Billy and my brother Michael at
Kilbride Farm where we run a herd of 100 pedigree Simmental cows as
well as a commercial herd of 340 sows producing over 9000 finished pigs
a year.
The Simmental herd was founded in 1971 with 4 heifers from the first
importation into Northern Ireland followed by another 6 in 1972. The herd
has gradually grown over the years mainly with home produced females
along with a few selective purchases in the early years. Through our
selective breeding program, we have had several recognised achievements
over the years. One of our stock bulls Moncur Sensation was the first
Simmental to win the interbreed title at Balmoral Show. We currently hold
the record of 7 supreme championships at the Perth/Stirling bull sales.
I am now entering my 4th year on the Simmental council and enjoy the
challenges it brings. Presently I am Chairman of UFU Pigs Committee and
have previously been Deputy President of UFU, Chairman of the Ulster
Pork and Bacon Forum (marketing organisation) and Pig ReGen (research
organisation).
I have a keen interest in sport, especially rugby and golf. I played scrum
half for 30 years and had the privilege of playing beside 4 international out
halves and against 10 international scrum halves. I now enjoy playing golf
which is slightly easier on the body but very frustrating.

Focus on commercial
customer needs!
Well once again the weather was
the talking point at the end
of 2017, but the cattle did the
talking for us through the spring sales and
summer shows season.
All spring sales were successful, and
Newark was particularly pleasing with both
good numbers and good cattle proving
just what could be achieved. It’s a great
testament to breeders that the breed
continues to be in demand in a tough
market and is also easily the most improved
beef breed over the past 10 years. The
summer shows were very successful for
the breed, and the interbreed successes
of Popes Princess Cleo a real credit to the
Wood family! I must also mention the YM
weekend courtesy of the Barlow and Loftus
families, our YM are still buzzing from it yet!
Robin has already commented on the
notable herds that dispersed for various
reasons this year and there is no point in
duplication, however for the breed record
for females to be smashed twice in 40
minutes during the Boddington dispersal is
worthy of repetition. The bull sale at Stirling
in October was disappointing, well the
clearance was, there were several reasons
for it, we sold 12 young bulls at the dispersal
and another 14 after the sale, so in total we
sold 89, this was still more than any other
breed and more than the Shorthorn, Angus
and Limousin put together. However, the
bottom line is October bull demands are
changing and as I have said in the past we
need more autumn born calves to be sold
as 20-22 month old bulls in the spring. The
May sale at Stirling will continue to grow and
the October sale will continue to shrink, this
is being driven by commercial customers
who make up in excess of 90% of our sales,
breeders need to consider this, failure to
have enough bulls to market at the right
time of year may give opportunities to our
competitors. We have been flying at Stirling
with big clearances at record averages until
October when we took a kicking, we take it,
make sure quality is maintained and step
on again. It may be worth pointing out
that other breeds add their after sales onto
clearances at Stirling, we have never done
that, the membership are entitled to have
the real facts.
There are a lot of concerns about Brexit,
all the signs are that there will be continued
support and until there is something proper
to debate we shouldn’t get overly excited
about speculation and scaremongering by
so called experts.
Looking briefly into 2018 we have
committed to be gold sponsors of both
NBA beef events, firstly at Dungannon in
February and then at Shrewsbury in May, as
well as all the regular events you will see us
attending throughout the year.
I hope to see a good uptake in the semen
testing initiative in 2018, every extra box
we can tick will help to keep us ahead of
our competitors, ideally 100% of all bulls
at Society sales semen tested would be
perfect, however if we achieve in excess
of 80% in the first year it would be a good
starting point. At Stirling in October the stats
were simple and clear, semen tested bulls
averaged £1000 per head more than nonsemen
tested bulls.
In early January we sadly learned about
the passing of Hector Macaskill, Hector
was Society President in 2009/2010 and a
long-standing Council member who had
served the breed with extreme dignity,
professionalism and pride, as well as
being one of our most respected judges.
Our thoughts go out to his wife Fiona and
daughters Kirsty, Marjory, Rhona and Jenny
as well as their extended families at this very
sad time. A hugely respected father figure of
the breed will be greatly missed by all.

A
huge and varied list of events were attended in
2017 as we continue to engage with commercial
customers across the whole Country. Our first event
was on the 14th February at Westridge, Lanark, a SRUC
event held courtesy of Martin, Joanne and Gareth Ward,
focusing on suckler cow management. We saw a number
of our regular customers and potential new customers,
many of which we would see again within the week at the
Stirling Bull sales.
The NBA beef event was next on the list, held this year
at Stoneleigh Park in the old cattle building previously used
for the Royal Show. Whilst this made set up and supporting
the stand within walking distance from the office, it was
an event which suffered overall from lack of foot fall due
to not only its location but being scheduled close to other
events on the agri calendar.

abandoned in the afternoon due to safety
reasons as trailers were sliding around
in the mud. However, this was one of the
best attended events of the year, with our
stand continually busy with customers and
enquiries. We were also very pleased to win
the best Breed Society stand award.

Then in August, a trip with a difference to Orkney,
accompanied by Peter Burgess and Alan Tallentire. Orkney
has a land mass of approx. 990km2, is made up of 70
Islands of which no more than 19 are inhabited, population
is just under 20,000. Orkney is the densest populated area
in Europe for cows with in excess of 25,000 cows over
the Islands. If we were to say every bull gets 40 cows and
they are all spring calving (which they are not) their bull
requirement in the spring could be 625 bulls, therefore its
clearly a market worth looking after.
We started the trip by attending the Dounby Show on
Thursday 10th August, for the Islanders this is the second
biggest show and is less than 20 miles from the major
show, distances and territories on the Islands mean more
than you would think. We saw several of our regular bull
customers at the show.
On Friday we went to Westray and then Papa Westray
accompanied by Steven Sandison and his nephew John.
Westray has approx. 32 farms and in 4 hours we attempted
to visit them all and invite the owners to join us on the
stand at the County Show on Saturday - we managed 28
before we had to get the next ferry to Papa Westray, this
took 20 minutes and we met all four farmers from Papa
Westray on the docks as they all work at the harbour when
the boats come in.
The challenges facing suckler farmers on the Island
are unique with either two ferries and 6 hours in a lorry
or three ferry journeys to get to the nearest abattoir in
Aberdeenshire.
On Saturday we were fortunate to share a stand at the
County Show with Orkney Livestock Market and it was
pleasing to meet some of the farmers with whom we had
dropped invitations to on both Westray and Papa Westray -
we reached parts no other Breed Society has ever reached
before.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
Cattle coming to mainland Orkney from Papa Westray are loaded onto a
specially designed and built float and then the float is lifted onto the ferry.
Orkney Livestock Market then organise the float to be collected from the
ferry, emptied, washed and returned to the docks for sailing back to Papa
Westray.

A very successful open day was held at Newbiemains
on Saturday 2nd September courtesy of Jim and
Patricia Goldie and sons. The event was supported by
the North-West club and is well reported on their club
report.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
The winter events started
with the Beef Expo, one
of the best events on the
calendar, although this
year all the winter events
had poorer attendances,
especially if it was a fine
day.

Next was the Agrifest
event (renamed from Beef
South West)
It was very pleasing to
again win the Best Beef
Breed stand at this event
too.
The second last event
was the English Winter Fair,
again a very popular event
with good turnouts from
both the public and club
members there to help out.
As ever, the last event
of the year was the Welsh
Winter fair, this year’s
fund raising was for the
Brecon Mountain Rescue
Team in memory of James
Corfield so tragically lost
during the summer show.
We were delighted to win
the Reserve Breed Society
Stand to round off a record
year for recognition of our
promotional displays.
Agrifest
English Winter Fair
None of these events
are possible without the
efforts of club members
and those who
provide cattle
for stands,
therefore a
special mention
and thank you
to the North

South West
Club, Midlands
club and the
Welsh Club and
to those that have provided
cattle for these events - Ian
Willison, Jim and Patricia

Futures Group
The inaugural meeting of the futures
group took place at Carlisle on the
28th and 29th of September 2017.
This group was created to try and lay the
foundations for improved regional sales
by selecting an active group of breeders
who will have a major say in our breed’s
development moving forward. The group is
not exhausted and those unable to attend
the first meeting will still be invited to
future meetings.
The first challenge for the group was to
identify causes of mixed sales at Carlisle
in terms of quality and condition of cattle
forward. Without,
in the first instance,
offering suggestions on
how to improve this.
We also had excellent
presentations from
Bridget Borlase on
knowing your customer
requirements and from
Adrian Ivory on the cost
of production.
We attended Carlisle
market on the Friday
morning where “other
breeds” were having
Society Sales. Whilst the
quality of cattle may not
have been exceptional, the presentation of
the cattle and those exhibiting them was of
the highest order.
The process of attending a Society Sale
can take more than 3 years preparation,
from planned mating to point of sale, for
example if the animal is 18-20 months old.
It seems odd after this length of planning
and effort that in a few cases the final effort
is lacking in terms of presentation in the
“shop window”.
The next meeting is scheduled to take
place in between the two Spring Carlisle
sales.
Bridget Borlase explaining the value of “knowing your customer requirements”
Adrian Ivory- knows every
single cost of his beef and
arable enterprise.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
At Williamwood we run 100 autumn
calving sucklers of which 15 are
pedigree Simmentals, all cattle are
run together on a 9-week calving block - AI
for 6 weeks and homebred sweepers for 3
weeks.
Bulls are chosen from the pedigrees
based on their performance records and
fertility, fleshing ability and conformation
of dams.
Having had the misfortune to use a
non-fertile bull, all bulls for use or sale as
breeders are now semen tested.
To lose 3 weeks on 30 cows could mean
30 calves 30 kg lighter, each at a total cost
of £1800, it costs less than £200 to test a
bull - a no brainer for me, and these cows can calve later the following year and so on.
This year after choosing what we needed there was another bull in my opinion good
enough to go to Carlisle in March.
For me to sell a bull at the sales he would have to be performance recorded, in a
health scheme, have good legs and feet, good locomotion, be out of a vg or ex dam, be
semen tested and above all be good enough to cover all extra costs and leave a profit.
For us to fatten bulls we achieve 420 kg dead at 12.5 months u+ fat grade 3 achieving
£1650
so, our sale bull has a value of
£1650 at say 13 months
so, 5 months extra feed to get to sale day £300
time for breaking and prep £300
semen test £75
time on day, transport, society and market fees £500
profit to be worth doing £500
pedigrees, already performance tested and health
schemed so no extra cost
Total £3325
So, if the bull isn’t good enough to achieve this we won’t take him to the sale and risk
losing £1300 in costs we will sell him under 16 months for £1700 and at a profit.
After visiting the sales last Spring, I saw that semen tested bulls did make more money.
I also saw a small number of bulls that had poor legs feet and locomotion, these bulls
didn’t achieve a bid let alone the £3325 needed to make a profit, as a commercial farmer
I just could not see the point when these bulls could have been sold for a profit 5 months
earlier.

Foundation cow family at Blackfriar Simmentals
A New Breeder’s
Perspective
Nik and Claire Shepherd, Blackfriar Simmentals
15 September 2013. 11 pm. Three heifers purchased
from the Leading Ladies Sale in Carlisle walked
tentatively off the lorry and on to our holding
in Berkshire, the culmination of a decision two years
previously to fulfil a long-standing ambition to enter the
pedigree market.
Fast forward four years, a bunch of calves, our own
stock bull and a move to a new farming opportunity in
Northamptonshire later, and Neil Shand asked us to share
our experiences of coming to the Society as a new breeder.
Our first thoughts were: ‘Well that’s easy. Do your
homework and keep your money in your pocket for a year
longer than you planned.’ But what does that homework
look like in practice?
Starting a pedigree herd should not be a case of just
buying a few animals at the first sale you go to or from the
first breeder that you meet. It’s a long term game which
demands a long term approach to planning. Attend as
many Society sales as you can while leaving your money
at home. If possible attend the whole cycle of sales in a
calendar year. If you can take in a dispersal sale as well
then so much the better. You are going to be making a
significant outlay on your foundation females, so it is worth
taking a few days out to research the sharp end of the
market - but buy nothing.
Build a picture of the type of animal you want, so
that when you put your hand in your pocket you buy
exactly that. Remember that there are different styles of
animal within the breed. We’ll leave for another day the
arguments over whether we should be breeding curly
coated animals (but don’t let anyone pretend that two flat
coated animals can’t throw a curly coated calf) or which
colours should be preferred. You will read a lot about
conformation and feet and there is much to be said for
being discerning here. There are beef characteristics and
there are show characteristics, but the one animal won’t
030 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

necessarily exhibit both. Some things are matters of
personal preference, others more objective, but all
have an impact on market and value. Make sure you
know the market for the style you choose. You’ll hope
to keep that animal for the next ten years or more –
buy the best you can when you start and it will pay
you back.
We are fortunate to live in a world where we have
never had so much data so easily available from a
few taps on your phone. Does the type of animal that
you are drawn to sell easily? In a slow market with
65% clearance at sales, would that style hold their
value or have to be beefed? Is a cheaper heifer going
to produce you profitable progeny? Will an animal
that has won a bunch of rosettes throw sons that a
commercial buyer will want? The answers to those
questions are for you to determine, but they are questions
you need to ask.
Assess the breeders at the sales as well as the cattle.
Remember you are buying the breeder as much as you
are buying the stock. If you see a type of animal you like
but say that you aren’t buying today, and the seller quietly
hands you their business card and says ‘Come and see us
some time’ then they are probably someone you can do
business with. If they give you the hard sell and tell you
that this animal is the best there is and there will never be
another opportunity like today, then they’re probably not.
And here’s another thing. Farming is probably the only
industry where successful people will freely share their
knowledge with you. A successful factory owner won’t
invite their competitors in for a nose around, but any cattle
breeder will usually be delighted to show you their herd.
We have been privileged to enjoy farm visits to a number
of breeders across England, Scotland and Northern
Ireland. We have learned something new from every visit,
and from every breeder who has come to visit us. You
won’t want to buy from every breeder you visit, but the
ones you have confidence in will stand out – they will be
the ones who work hard to make sure you find the animal
you want rather than the animal they want to sell you.
New breeders are in an unrivalled position to make
use of the tools available to assist buyers. You start with
a blank canvas for your health status, meaning you can
choose to buy only from those breeders with the health
status that you are aiming for. There is no reason at all for
you to buy in problems. Start as you mean to go on.
EBVs are a sometimes controversial topic, but they
are a useful tool if, and only if, you take time to read the
guidance and understand the mechanics. Scrutinise not
just the figures but also the data behind them. Is it a
meaningful data set? Do not be afraid to ask the breeder
how many calves from that sire have been performance
recorded to produce the EBVs – the more the better.
Remember that EBVs are a tool to assist decision making.
Contrary to popular grumbling, no one advocates buying
on EBVs alone.
The latest tool available is female classification. Easy
to understand and based on independent assessment
rather than breeder supplied data, classification should
Blackfriar Inferno (P) 17
be something that helps any new breeder assess whether
they are buying in to a cow family that consistently
produces high quality progeny. If a seller has not moved
towards classification then you should at least ask them
why. The Blackfriar herd will undergo classification in
2018.
Finally, an integral part of the new breeder experience is
entering the world of showing, and it is little acknowledged
that this can be an intimidating (and, yes, sometimes
cliquey) environment. Even the smallest shows can vary
in terms of how welcoming fellow breeders are to new
exhibitors. This is all the more challenging to those of
us who were not fortunate enough to cut our teeth in
the young handler classes and are now too old to do
so (although being asked by one judge if Nik, then aged
35, was planning on entering the young handler class
that afternoon was a pleasant ego boost!). Small shows
in particular can struggle to attract a significant field of
entries, and we all owe a duty to support the organisers to
ensure that showing retains a meaningful role, especially at
a local level.
We would recommend that anyone new to showing
seeks out a buddy member to give them some support and
advice at their first couple of shows, and we have found
that most members are all too happy to do this. We are
indebted to the Storer-Smiths and the Bishops for their
help and encouragement at a number of shows. To those
of you who might feel less pleased to see new faces at the
show you have been entering for years, we would say that
everyone was new to their jobs once, and in a tightening
market with an average farmer age of 59, new participants
represent an opportunity not a threat. If every member
resolves to mentor just one new person at one show in
2018 imagine what that could do to raise the profile of our
breed in the long run.
We would be delighted to share our experiences (and
mistakes!) with any new breeder who wants to get in touch.
Come and see us some time.

FEMALE
CLASSIFICATION
FOR BRITISH SIMMENTAL CATTLE
In Autumn 2016 the British Simmental
Cattle Society brought in female
classification as an option for all
breeders, the main target being
to further improve a breed that is
undoubtedly the most improved of the
Continental breeds in recent years.
For many years now all major
breeds both beef and dairy have been
performance recording stock and
proving bulls, it should be said however
the dairy industry remains well ahead
of beef on this front, however more
and more beef EBV’s are being both
requested and respected throughout
the industry. So, what is the benefit of
adding Female Classification?
Presently at bull sales the sale
animals EBV’s are displayed on or above
the sale pen giving prospective buyers
an indication of how the bull’s progeny
will be born and how they will then
perform as young stock moving on. All
good and valuable information but then
several questions get asked many times
over at a sale “What does the mother
look like?” “What is she like on her feet
and legs?” “Has she got a good bag with
good sizes teats?” “Is she a big cow?”.
The introduction of Female
Classification will put the final piece of
the jigsaw in place and give prospective
buyers a full picture of what they are
getting and the type of cow that the
bull or sale animal is out of. Breeders
participating in the scheme will also
get the benefit of their cattle being
individually assessed by an independent
party, as breeders are inclined not to
be critical enough of their own stock.
In years gone by many of the senior
stockmen/women would say they
wouldn’t buy a bull without seeing its
mother, with classification we get a very
clear picture of what the mother looks
like and all things good about her.
The classification evaluation is
broken down into four separate
areas 1- Body Confirmation,2-Beef
character,3-Legs and feet,4-Mammary.
Classification can only occur when
females are in milk and feeding a calf,
each category has several components
within which are individually assessed
and then a final score is created for a
female. First calved heifers cannot get
the highest possible score, a female
must have a minimum of 3 calves to
get classified as excellent (EX). Starting
from the bull sales at Stirling February
2017 we will see animals being sold
with classification information in
their background. All classification
information is now added to the
existing Society ABRI data base and
prospective purchasers can now search
the data base by classified herds/cattle.
We have introduced this scheme not
because we have faults within the breed
but purely to keep us moving in the
right direction. We have added another
tool to give more information to buyers
and to help breeders be more selective
in the females they keep for further
breeding, if you stand still nowadays
you can get overtaken very quickly.
To get your herd classified please
contact the Society office, more
information can be found at www.

Simmental breeders
reaping rewards from IVP
New cutting-edge technology replacing MOET
Gavin Tait
Simmental breeders are reaping rewards from
introducing In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP), a new
cost effective welfare friendly service from specialist
artificial breeding technology company, AB Europe. The
IVP procedure, which is destined to replace traditional
MOET, has been successfully developed and proven in
New Zealand where over 4,000 embryos are annually
transferred.
“IVP delivers all the benefits of MOET in enabling
cattle breeders to exploit the value of their high genetic
merit animals,” explains AB Europe vet, Gavin Tait. “The
IVP process combines donor oocyte (eggs) collection,
maturation and fertilisation, followed by a culture period
and then either transfer or freezing of the subsequent
embryos. AB Europe offers a unique on farm donor
collection – a process that takes approximately 15 minutes
per donor, thereby minimising stress.”
The culture process follows in the company’s Edinburgh
based £100k new state of the art laboratory. IVP is carried
out by AB Europe’s highly skilled and committed staff who
have been specifically trained in IVP techniques in New
Zealand.
Westridge increasing genetic gain with
IVP
Gareth Ward has implanted seven fresh embryos
resulting in five live calves, and he says the IVP process was
simple, welfare friendly and cost effective. Each was by
Grangewood Baron 10, the herd’s 19,000gns stock bull who
is within the breed’s top 5%.
“We have introduced IVP to take our 50 cow Westridge
herd to the next level. Whilst it was established 15 years
ago, we have recently taken a more focused approach
to breeding bulls and replacement heifers for the
marketplace, and are aiming for the herd to be within the
breed’s top 10%,” explains Gareth who farms a mixed unit
which also carries a 300 cow suckler herd with his father,
Martyn based at Newbigging, Carnwath.
“IVP is a service which is enabling us to select specific
sires to cross to some of our best breeding females to
produce high genetic merit progeny for sale. It will also
help to widen the gene pool and provide us with more
choice of homebred bulls – we are very focused on
biosecurity and we minimise the number of purchases.”
IVP was introduced to three of Westridge’s highest
genetic merit females. “We had two very good cows coming
to the end of their lives, plus another, Westridge Volvo
Sheila who unfortunately was a problem breeder.
“The collection process was so straight forward. In
fact, that was the aspect of IVP which attracted us in the
first place. We had previously used MOET which required
a series of hormone injections for superovulation, we
completed the process by the rule book, however we didn’t
collect a single embryo.
“In contrast, IVP requires no injections, consequently the
donor cows don’t suffer any stress; we simply drafted them
off for Gavin, the collection took approximately 20 minutes
per animal and the AB Europe team offered a great level
of service from beginning to end,” Gareth explains. “Just
one straw of semen was used to cover all the ovum and
the collection resulted in between three and seven fresh
embryos per cow.
“The recipients from our suckler herd were already
housed, on a rising plane of nutrition and in condition
score 3 when Gavin returned to implant the embryos and
again, the job was very straight forward. The process has
also had a spin off, Westridge Volvo Sheila is now naturally
cycling and in calf.”
He adds: “IVP is working really well for us, and we are
planning to use again in order to continue accelerating the
herd’s genetic progress; we’ve found a process that takes
up little time, is more welfare friendly and what’s more it’s
achieved success.”

“
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.

50 TH ANNIVERSARY
OF SIMMENTALS IN
CANADA
By Eirian
Lloyd
BACKGROUND
A year ago, I ventured
on my 1st Agiibition
trip and after that
wonderful week I
did say, in the words
of Arnie, “I’ll be
back!” Well a year
has flown by and
here I am again! This
year would be quite
different as I’m here
as an invited guest
of Bruce Holmquist,
General Manager of
Canadian Simmentals
and this year’s
Agribition President.
There were 2 major
events happening
this week, the 50TH
Anniversary of
Canadian Simmentals
and also the
America’s Convention
with representatives
from all parts of
Canada, America and
South America. So,
I knew I was in for
good week!
SUNDAY 19 TH NOVEMBER 2017
Flew out to Regina via Calgary, in
the company of Aled Davies. This time
everything went to plan and didn’t have any
Visa problems!
MONDAY 20 TH NOVEMBER 2017
I met up with Aled on the Monday, along
with Rachel and Anwen from Wales who
had travelled a few days earlier. The three
were staying in another hotel but only a
few hundred yards away. We headed off
in the shuttle for our 1st day at the show.
1st stop was the International Visitors
Centre to pick up our name tags and Show
passes for the week. This is where the most
amazing week began!
When I walked in to the Centre, I was
greeted by huge cheers and hugs, the staff
at the Centre had recognised me from my
trip last year, I was overcome with emotion!
After that emotional encounter we went
down to the Simmental Cattle barn, with
the 50th Celebrations happening it was
much bigger than last year with even more
exhibitors.
The first person I saw was Vernon
Wheatland Simmentals, straight away he
asked me to pull up a chair for a chat!
At that point the other 3 went their own
way around the Show to have their very
own Show experience. As I’d had a taste
of the Show last year I was more than
happy in chatting to the exhibitors. After
040 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

Vernon I spoke to many more such as Tyler Libke of Sunny
Valley Simms and Rob & Deanne Young, High Country
Simmentals.
That night I met up with the other three for food.
TUESDAY 21 ST NOVEMBER
Today was America Conference day. There were 6
speakers who spoke about how America and Canada are
using DNA profiling and Genetic Evaluation in testing bulls
and relevant traits in feed efficiency and carcass merit such
as marbling, similar to Holsteins for assessing dairy bulls.
This was a very interesting day.
Later in the evening I attended the Conference Banquet
where I met up with Carla and Dana Hicks, the sisters I met
last year. We had a great night catching up on the past
year, they had experienced a drought and of course in
Wales we had rain!
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
WEDNESDAY 22 ND NOVEMBER
Simmental show Day today. I spent the day with Carla
whilst Dana worked in the Visitors Centre. That evening
there was a barbeque before the Big Simmental sale. This
year there were 50 lots to mark the 50th anniversary. Carla
and Dana joined me for the sale and I bought Lot 4, a flush
from a Double Bar D cow next March with a choice of bulls
available out there. When my name and where I came
from was announced I had a great big round of applause
from all at the Show! I was the only buyer outside of
Canada.
Lot 5, daughter of the flush donor I bought went for the
top price of $29,000, Carla and I were under bidders for
this one. Another great day!
THURSDAY 23 RD NOVEMBER
I went with Carla to see our last year’s purchases.
They’ve been flushed a few times last Spring, now they’re
in calf and looking great. Big thanks to Carla for the work
she’s put into them!
Back in Agribition, again met up with Dana and Carla.
This was their last day at the Show, it was wonderful to
catch up with them who I now count as friends, after plenty
of big hugs they went home.
FRIDAY 24 TH NOVEMBER
Today I went to visit a few Simmental farms near Regina
to see some cattle coming up in future sales. Then back at
the Show and met up with Bruce who asked me to attend
the President’s Farewell Dinner for the representatives
from South America.
At the dinner Bruce presented me with an Anniversary
Buckle, only 50 had been produced especially for this
event. This was given to me due to the commitment I
had shown towards the Simmentals and that I had come
out again to Agribition on my own merit and without the
backing of British Simmentals. This made my effort well
worthwhile.
At the dinner I had a chat with Fred Schuetze, President
of the World Simmental Fleckvieh Federation. I had
met him in the week and he invited me out to the World
Conference in Fort Worth, Texas being held in September
2018. It has been wonderful to meet new people on this
trip which has opened up even more new opportunities.
After dinner there were a number of thanks given by the
South American representatives. Bruce asked me to give
those delegates an insight into the UK Simmentals. Hope
it wasn’t recorded because I’ve said before we’re lagging
behind as breeders for what the world market wants,
South Americans are going for it - they were my personal
comments. After that, they all wanted a picture of me on
stage. My family would know that I don’t do public speaking
or have never been seen on any stage but the welcome I
have had, had given me the confidence to do this, and this
again would be another day I’d never forget!
And then what a night…. drinking with the South
Americans!
SATURDAY 25 TH NOVEMBER
I woke up with a very bad hangover after drinking with
the Mexicans and Columbians.
Back to the show where the Supreme Champions were
crowned. I haven’t said much about the Show, someone
else will be doing that.
Saturday night, my last night, I was invited out to dinner
by the ladies running the International Visitors Centre.
Another great and emotional night. Even more so than
last year, I have been made to feel extremely welcome. I
have been to many provinces over the years, but without
hesitation the people of Saskatchewan are the warmest
and friendliest I have met. The Canadian Simmentals have
also shown unbelievable generosity by offering to pay for
my whole trip!
This has been a life changing week! Very BIG THANK
YOU to Bruce Holmquist, the Canadian Simmentals and the
people of Saskatchewan.
The BIGGEST THANKS IS FOR DELYTH - without her at
home this trip wouldn’t have happened.
SUNDAY 26 TH NOVEMBER
Back to the Airport, and back home after another
awesome trip!

WELSH CLUB
ON TOUR
@ CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION NOV 17
Some of the Welsh Simmental club
members decided to venture a bit
further than we normally do for our
annual trip, I will give a brief insight on how
we got on at Canadian Western Agribition
in Regina November 2017.
After a long day travelling with Eurian
Lloyd from Heathrow we arrived in Regina
late on Sunday evening and it was straight
to bed, Monday morning was breakfast with
Rachel and Anwen for a catch up before
making our way to the show. We had
registered as International visitors so had
a free shuttle to and from the show, daily
admission and access to the International
visitors lounge, where we did not go hungry
or thirsty and a great view over the show
ring.
The first couple of days were spent going
around the show, one of the first thing that
struck me about the Simmentals we saw
were their colour. I would say that 95% of
the cattle in the show were black or red with
very little of the traditional colours that we
are used to. Monday was the coldest day
of the week with temperatures dropping
to minus 25 (with the hairs in my nose
freezing). We soon came to the conclusion
that we are breeding a totally different
animal but all with the same intentions of
producing the end product. When it comes
to the show ring again very different, white
coats are substituted with cowboy hats,
no trimming of tail heads but combing up
to make tails more prominent and the big
bellies or barrel as they describe it to show
the animals capacity to eat and thus convert
forage. Tuesday’s finale was a night at full
contact jousting, which was a great end to
the day, can’t say the same for two of the
competitors one dislocated his shoulder and
another his elbow.
Wednesday and it was Simmental
judging day with a birds eye view of the
show ring from up above in the International
lounge. Again things done differently with
animals placed last to first with calves
parading in front of their mothers. Even
with the unfamiliar colours and traits what a
show. For me some of the cow and calf units
042 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

were a credit to their owners. Our cows when at any show
for a long duration stay indoors but not at Agribition. Even
in -25 temperatures all animals are led outside at the end of
every day and tied up in straw beds as they are not used to
being inside. The day ended at Casino Regina for a reception
evening held for all international guests, with six local guest
chefs where we sampled some lovely food including bison, a
first for us all.
Thursday for me was the highlight of our trip, Anwen
had pre-arranged a visit to Double Bar D Farms, Grenfell
Saskatchewan. Myself, Rachel and Anwen were picked up
from our hotel at eight o’clock by Ken and Marcia Dimler.
We soon found out that it was going to be a very interesting
day visiting their 30,000 acre farm. I don’t think we stopped
talking for the 90 minute journey and it was nice to hear the
different weights and measures being quoted with us using
kilos and tonnes and Ken converting to pounds and bushels,
great stuff. Ken and his family keep 600 suckler Simmental
cows of all colours with some traditional full fleck. All
cows are kept out all year round on pasture during spring
and summer, and during winter in open corrals. Some
are left out to pick their way through unharvested maize
supplemented by silage when the cobs get less with calves
being creep fed. They source their bulls from Canada and
the United States having payed 300,000 (£180,000) Canadian
dollars for a black Simmental bull, earning 100,000 dollars
in the first year in semen sales, unreal! Twice a year they
hold an on-farm sale, in March they have a bull sale and
In December they have a female sale, with a great repeat
customer base. Everything was on such a great scale from
their machinery to their grain storage and fertiliser bins are
bigger than many of our grain bins. They even have under
floor heating in the workshop, fantastic! The farm was vast
with endless fields as far as the eye could see covered in
snow. With the odd little valley or Coolie as Ken would say.
There lived wildlife such as moose, coyote and a family of
albino bears, you would not venture out without a gun. After
a lovely lunch at the local Chinese, we saw their 30 plus
bulls with one taking my fancy called Juggernaut, it was a
shame semen was only for Canada. As I said we had a great
farm tour and a massive thanks to Ken and his family and
to Anwen for arranging a memorable day. Thursday ended
at the Rodeo stuffing myself with fresh doughnuts lovely
jubbly!
Friday was a leisurely day shopping taking advantage of
the black Friday discounts to keep everybody at home happy,
followed by one of the best steaks I have ever tasted, washed
down with some local beer joined by George, a Welshman
we met on tour and his fellow Hereford breeder Tom.
Saturday was our last day and what a day. A visit to a
feed lot with 26,000 cattle being fattened in open corrals.
From October, 600 to 700 weaned calves arrive every
day being put through the fantastic handling system with
management tags applied, cattle weighed, wormed and
a dose of Draxine administered to help with the stress of
travelling and weaning. Also a growth hormone was given,
this was not a big secret and when asked the question it
was said that too much was made of this and that there
was more hormone content in an apple or a potato, than
what each animal received. Calves are split into batches with
heifers and steers separate, with all heifers receiving a jab of
Tylan to prevent them from cycling/bulling. Again everything
was on a massive scale, but one thing modern technology
cannot identify are sick animals. A cowboy parades on his
horse through all pens pulling out sick animals and sending
them to the hospital wing. This is a massive part of the
process because if they are not seen early enough the cold
is a killer.
We finished our day back at the show for the grand
interbreed final, with 37 females and 39 bulls of all breeds
competing for 10,000 dollars and a new pickup, a great way
to end a memorable trip.
I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic trip
meeting great people whilst making new friends and
learning a lot. A big thank you to Agribition for looking after
their international guests and to Lori, and the girls for their
great hospitality.
That ends my journey to Canada with Eurian Lloyd,
Rachel Nicholas and Anwen Jones thanks to you for your
great company and let’s get planning the next trip!!

SWITZERLAND
TRIP
For many years our family have been
travelling to Switzerland to visit my
sister’s godmother who lives in Nyon,
most years we have combined this trip
with the annual procession of the cattle
returning from the mountains to the
lowland pastures for the winter. Each herd
arrives from the mountain to do a full circle
of the village of Saint-Cergue, amongst the
public and stands selling various beautiful
local items including the local Cow Bell
makers, cheese, embroidered cloths,
Alpine horn playing and flag throwing etc.
The tartiflette made with the local wine and
cheese is well worth stopping for. This has
become a popular tourist event bringing
visitors from Geneva, neighbouring France
and many other countries.
This year was their thirtieth
anniversary of which I was very honoured
to be invited to join Mr & Mrs Jean-Jacques
& Michele Morax with their Simmental
herd to walk with them down the Roman
road from Saint-Cergue to Trelex to
their farm about 11km which takes
approximately 1hr 20 mins at quite a lick.
The Alpine pastures are owned by Saint-
Cergue, the farm at Trelex is 45 acres of
land worked by Jean- Jacques, his brother
and son, this is the fifth generation of
044 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
farming, Jean- Jacques Grandfather bought
the farm and they have been taking cattle
to the Alpine pastures for seventy four
years for the Summer months.
Their Simmental herd is a sight to see,
with good foundation cows and the largest
in the area, the farm has a smaller herd of
Simmentals which are used for milk and
beef, the milk is used for yoghurts and
cheese. For the past four years the second
son has a small herd of goats from which
he produces cheese, milk and yoghurt also,
which can all be purchased from Michele
on Saturday mornings at the Nyon open
market.
The Swiss government subsidises their
income up to 50% depending on how they
manage their land & cattle as well as what
they grow, fruit, maize or the cows are in
or out, they grow maize as fodder to the
field edge as not much acreage, with no
hedgerows.
This was the thirtieth year they had
taken part in ‘Desalpe’ seeing the cattle in
the fields with their headdresses and bells
still on was wonderful, followed by a glass
of wine to celebrate the event, and lunch in
the cattle building with friends, family, and
more wine.

PCHS
NEWS
2018 Issue
Welcome to our 2018 issue – we
hope that you find our articles
useful and informative. Topics
include details of the new BVD eradication
projects in England and Wales, CHeCS
Bovine Tb Herd Accreditation and amended
CHeCS Neospora protocols. We also
feature a useful biosecurity reminder which
is timely as CHeCS are in the process of
carrying out herd audits!
We look forward to seeing you when out
and about as we attend events around the
country.
Do contact us if you would like someone
to speak about Health Schemes at a farm
walk or Breed Society meeting.
CHeCS to carry out Audits on members
of Health Schemes
CHeCS ‘field audits’ will be carried out
this year on a proportion of members from
each health scheme. PCHS is no exception
and 198 herds with accreditation will be
audited. This equates to 81 in England, one
in Ireland, 85 in Scotland and 31 in Wales.
PCHS welcomes this new initiative as we
feel it provides another level of quality
assurance to the CHeCS accreditation
process.
Our message is be prepared – we
suggest you refer to the CHeCS Technical
Document at www.checs.co.uk if you are
unclear about any of the rules. Also see our
useful guide on biosecurity on page 6 of
this issue.
NEW BVD eradication project launched in
Wales September 2017
Welsh dairy and beef farmers will
be encouraged to participate in a 3
year voluntary BVD eradication scheme
funded by the Welsh Government’s Rural
Development Programme (RDP). Blood
samples will be taken from five animals
in each herd aged between nine and 18
months when they are tested for TB.
Samples can be sent to any relevant
laboratory and the results will be ready
with the reading of the TB test. The
youngstock samples will be at no cost
to the farmer and subsequent testing
to identify PI animals will be supported
to a maximum of £500. Farmers will
be expected to support the scheme by
paying for any testing above the £500
limit during the identification of PI
animals, removing the PI animals and any
costs associated with protecting the farm
from reinfection. Existing Welsh scheme
members can take advantage of this as
we will send relevant invoices to either
vets for eradication scheme testing or
farmer as required.
Vaccination explained for the IBR
Scheme
A member can use a marker vaccine
in both Vaccinated Monitored Free
(VMF) and accredited herds but they
can’t bring animals into the herd where
a non-marker vaccine has been used.
This is because differentiation between
non-marker vaccine antibody and field
infection antibody is not possible. In
CHeCS Technical Document 3.1 for VMF
all cattle over 12 months of age must be
vaccinated with marker vaccine although
up to 5% of breeding stock can be left
unvaccinated e.g. to provide antibodyfree
colostrum and bulls are exempt from
vaccination to maintain their eligibility if
used in semen collection stations.
Important News about changes to
wording on Health Declarations
for Johne’s Accreditation
Health Declarations will be amended
to reflect the total numbers positive over
3 years and the number of animals tested
in the last test. This is because there is
a big difference in risk for example in
one positive animal in a herd of 10 as
compared with one positive animal in a
herd of 100!

BVDFree welcomes CHeCS accredited herds to register for
‘free’ on their database
BVDFree England is a voluntary
scheme set up to provide a ‘one
stop’ platform to display BVD status
for herds in England, allowing any
farmer buying cattle to independently
verify if individual animals have been
tested for BVD or if the herd has a
status for BVD. Scotland has used
a BVD database for a number of
years and SAC Consulting Veterinary
Services welcomes the opportunity to
support an English initiative and is an
approved lab for the scheme.
BVDFree England aims to eliminate BVD virus fr om
cattle herds across the country by 2022 and is working in
co-operation with cattle industries throughout the UK.
Or to register individual animals
2. Join BVDFree England as a full member
This means that you can display individual animal
results at 50p to add each antibody r esult and 25p to add
each virus result. Historic results (back dated a year) can
be uploaded onto BVDFree England database. PCHS will
invoice you for this fee although this charge is imposed
by BVDFree England. Your BVD herd status will also be
updated if appropriate.

Website
Are you familiar with the Premium Cattle Health Scheme website?
You can find everything that you need to know about the scheme at
www.cattlehealth.co.uk and it’s mobile compatible.
On our website you will find:
• Downloadable versions of all our health scheme forms and
documents, for sample submissions, health plans, up to date CHeCS
rules, past copies of our newsletters and more
• A new FAQ section, where we have added answers to the questions
that we are asked most often by our members
• The PCHS Member Database, listing all of our members who have
opted in either by geographical area or breed of cattle. The database
shows up to date accreditation status for BVD, Johne’s Disease, IBR and
Leptospirosis, making it an invaluable tool for marketing your stock as
well as for sourcing animals that match your own accreditation status.
Changes to Neospora testing protocols within CHeCS
Within CHeCS, the Neospora programme is moving to risk-level certification (similar to the Johne’s programme). This
change has been made in light of reviewing the latest research and to make the programme achievable for all herds to
participate. Herds will be assigned a risk level, from 1 to 5 as below, with 1 being associated with the lowest risk of being a
source of Neospora infected stock.
Level 1: Three or more consecutive clear annual herd screens.
Level 2: One or two consecutive clear annual herd screens.
Level 3: The number of test positive animals does not exceed 5% of the herd eligible for testing in the Neospora
programme.
Level 4: More than 5% of eligible animals identified as test positive animals at the most recent test.
Level 5: These herds may be carrying out a testing programme, but are not adhering to the mandatory
requirements of the programme.
Annual blood testing of all eligible animals is required. All testing can be carried out on the same day or it can be
carried out at intervals throughout the year to fit in with management purposes. All breeding females over one year of
age must be tested. In addition to annual testing, there are mandatory control elements of the programme. These are
to ensure that infected females are not retained in the herd for breeding. A health plan must be in place to ensure that
farm dogs cannot acquire or pass on infection to cattle. Abortions must be investigated. Herds can choose how quickly
they wish to progress through the risk levels. It is possible for example to retain high genetic merit test-positive cows to
breed bulls. If doing this however, the herd cannot progress above level 3 until the test positive animals are removed. For
further information contact the PCHS team.

Action Johne’s Update
SAC Consulting helped deliver the National Johne’s Management plan (NJMP) last year. Twenty-six milk purchasers
representing 82% of GB milk production are signed up to support the plan. It is encouraging to see that in Phase 1 around
86% of farms who completed the Johne’s survey reported that they are testing their herd for Johne’s disease and 83%
report that they are using one of the specified control strategies.
Phase 2 of the Action Johne’s is now well underway. PCHS dairy members are leading the field as most are already
implementing Strategy 1 - Biosecurity protect and monitor as part of the CHeCS programme of testing.
Phase 2 requires the following (see bullets below) and applies if your milk purchaser has signed up to the NJMP.
• Signed declaration
All milk purchaser members of the NJMP will require their associated farmers to obtain a signed declaration by a
BCVA Johne’s Certified Veterinary Adviser every year for the three year period of the Plan. The declaration states
that the farmer has an appropriate and robust Johne’s management plan in place, as discussed with their farm vet.
Questionnaires will be circulated via all milk purchasers signed up to support the National Johne’s Management Plan in
April 2017 with data gathered in December 2017, 2018 and 2019. Details of purchasers who have signed up to the plan
is available at www.actionjohnesuk.org
• BCVA Johne’s Certified Vet
All declarations and plans need to be signed by a BCVA
accredited Johne’s Certified Vet. It’s worth having this
conversation with your vet who should be well informed
about this national programme. Around 640 vets are
certified to do this in the UK.

Certification Programme for Sheep and Goats?

Johne’s Disease Risk Level Reminder - CHeCS
If you are looking to buy or sell stock it is important to know your own herd’s Johne’s disease risk level, as well as
that of any cattle that you might add to your herd.
Level 1 – There have been at least three clear annual herd tests and there is a Johne’s Disease herd health plan in
place. This is the lowest level of risk
Level 2 – There has been at least one clear herd test but the herd does not yet qualify for Level 1 status. There is a
Johne’s disease herd health plan in place
Level 3 – Three per cent or less of the herd were identified as reactors at the most recent herd test. There is a
Johne’s disease herd health plan in place
Level 4 – More than three per cent of the herd were identified as reactors at the most recent herd test. There is a
Johne’s disease herd health plan in place
Level 5 – This includes herds without a health plan for Johne’s disease, herds that not adhere to the mandatory
elements of the health plan and herds that do not carry out the required testing. This is the highest level of risk
PLEASE NOTE: IMPORTANT RULE ABOUT BUYING AND
SELLING AND RISK STATUS!
It is important to remember that if an animal of a lower risk level status is added to your herd, if it is ever sold
on from your holding it must be sold as its original risk level status (i.e. a Risk Level 3 animal added to a Risk
Level 2 herd must remain as Risk Level 3 if sold again).
However, animals added from a higher Risk Level Status herd to a lower Risk Level Status herd take on the
status of the herd that they are added to and must be sold as such (i.e. a Risk Level 1 animal added to a
Risk Level 4 herd would then have to be sold as Risk Level 4 in the future).

CHeCS bTB Scheme
The CHeCS Bovine TB Herd Accreditation
Programme provides herds with a risk based
approach to the disease when trading cattle
and focuses on biosecurity measures. There
are potential benefits to farmers in high risk areas who
can promote their herd’s TB free status, as well as reduced
risks of buying in disease for herds in low risk areas.
Farmers can opt to join just the bTB scheme or bolt it
on to the Premium Cattle Health Scheme. The herd’s test
results will be provided by APHA (who co-ordinate the
statutory testing for bTB) and matched with an on-farm risk
reduction management programme. This is open to herds
in Scotland too. The membership fee for the bTB scheme
is £30 per year. More information is available at www.
cattlehealth.co.uk Herds will be awarded a starting Herd
Status based on the last 10 years of test data. This means
homebred animals marketed from these herds can then be
sold with that status, subject to a signed declaration from
the herd’s vet.
To move up through the scores within the programme,
herds must meet the requirements of the statutory
scheme and be deemed to be adhering to CHeCS
standards.
The CHeCS programme differs from statutory bTB
control in several ways:
• It is recommended that all added animals are placed
in quarantine upon arrival; if any then fail the bTB
skin test, this should not affect the CHeCS bTB Herd
Accreditation – although APHA will still record an official
breakdown.
• Added biosecurity measures apply, such as preventing
nose to nose contact with cattle of a lower health status
over fences or walls
• Some additional pre and post-movement testing may
also be required
All relevant forms including the PCHS Price List,
Application Form and Compliance Declaration are
available at www.cattlehealth.co.uk
Additional testing requirements can be found at
www.checs.co.uk
Scoring System
10 – This score is awarded to herds that have had
10 years or more since their last bTB breakdown.
This is the lowest level of risk.
9 to 1 – The score corresponds to the number of
years since the herd regained Officially TB Free
status after a breakdown.
0 – The herd is Officially TB Free at this point but
has had a bTB breakdown within the past year.
This should be considered as high risk.
Unclassified – The herd is not participating in
the bTB scheme, or the animal is bought-in and
cannot use the herd status. This is the highest
level of risk.

Biosecurity Reminder
When it comes to maintaining accreditation, having
appropriate biosecurity measures in place is as
important as following testing protocols. This article
provides a check list of the main biosecurity measures
that should be in place, as well as highlighting the
differences for each disease. Please refer to the CHeCS
technical document for further biosecurity and testing
regulations.
Farm Boundaries
Farm boundaries must prevent cattle from straying off or onto
the farm and must prevent nose to nose contact with cattle of a
lower health status over fences or walls.
--
BVD and IBR accreditation requires at least a 3 metre gap
between cattle in the scheme and those that may be of a
lower status, using double fencing or similar boundaries
--
Herds that can comply with all of the biosecurity rules apart
from the 3 metre gap can apply for vaccinated monitored
free status
Isolation
Any non-accredited animals or any previously accredited
animals that have come into contact with non-accredited
animals must be isolated and tested before being added to
your accredited herd
--
For BVD, IBR and Leptospirosis accreditation, these animals
must be isolated for at least 28 days and tested at the end
of this period and can only join the rest of the herd once
negative results have been received
--
For Johne’s Disease accreditation, these animals must
be isolated until blood and faecal tests come back with a
negative result. If faecal culture is being performed, this can
take up to 8 weeks. Remember that a blood and dung test is
required for all such animals, regardless of age
Cases where previously accredited cattle would have to enter
isolation include:
--
If they have strayed off the holding and come into contact
with animals of a lower status, or if animals of a lower status
have strayed onto the holding and come into contact with the
accredited cattle
--
If they have attended a show or sale that doesn’t have a
designated section for accredited cattle. This applies to your
own animals that may be returning to your holding, as well as
animals that have been purchased from an accredited herd
--
In the case of Johne’s Disease , accredited animals that have
been at a show or sale for less than 7 days can be returned to
the accredited herd without first being isolated
--
If cattle have come into contact with non-accredited animals
during loading, transport or unloading
The isolation facility should be a dedicated building or paddock
that prevents contact with other stock. No air space, drainage
or manure storage may be shared with other cattle.
Grazing, Feeding & Bedding
--
For BVD and IBR accreditation, cattle must not be grazed on
pasture that has been grazed by non-accredited animals in
the previous 2 months and co-grazing with other ruminant
species or camelids is advised against
--
For Leptospirosis accreditation, cattle must not be grazed on
pasture that has been grazed by non-accredited cattle, other
ruminant species or camelids in the previous 2 months and
co-grazing is not recommended
--
For Johne’s Disease accreditation, cattle must not be grazed
on pasture that has been grazed by cattle of a lower status in
the previous 12 months and there should be no co-grazing
with other ruminant species or camelids
--
The same time restrictions apply if slurry or manure from
non-accredited cattle has been used on the pasture
--
Manure from isolated animals must be stored and only
spread on land once the animals have tested negative. If
manure or slurry is spread before testing or after a positive
result then the same time restrictions as above apply
--
When buying feed and bedding, care must be taken to avoid
the risk of introducing infection into the herd. Feed and
bedding stores should be protected against access by vermin
and wildlife
Water
--
For Leptospirosis and Johne’s Disease accreditation, piped
mains water should be used rather than natural water
sources and animals should not have access to water courses
that have flowed through other farms or grazing areas
--
Best practice also advises that for Johne’s Disease
accreditation, any water sources such as ponds and streams
that cattle would be able to access should be fenced off, in
order to prevent animals drinking from water contaminated
with faeces
Equipment
--
Farm equipment including machinery, livestock trailers
and handling facilities that are shared between accredited
and non-accredited cattle must be cleaned and disinfected
before use with the accredited cattle. For herds in the Johne’s
Disease programme, a Defra-approved product at the
dilution recommended for tuberculosis control must be used
--
Veterinary equipment such as drenching guns, surgical
instruments and hypodermic needles must not be
shared with cattle from another herd. Veterinary surgical
instruments must be sterilised before use
Colostrum & Genetic Material
--
Colostrum from herds of a lower status must not be brought
into an accredited herd
--
Accredited herds should only source new genetic material
such as semen and embryos from reliable sources e.g. semen
collection centre approved for intra-community trade.

Farm Assurance – More Than Just a Label
For many the horsemeat crisis of recent years acted as a catalyst for rising consumer expectations of food and
drink providers. And while it would be fair to say the scandal has certainly highlighted issues around traceability,
provenance and food quality, both consumers and retailers in the UK have long been concerned with what they
buy and sell.
Just last year, a Defra survey found that half of consumers
would pay more for food and drink that is produced in the
UK and Ireland while about 40% of buyers check to see
exactly where their food is produced.
The most obvious way to signpost a
products provenance and quality is to use
a relevant consumer label. These of course
exist in their multitude depending on the
product, retailer and type of food, yet
several stand out as true market leaders
and trusted brands.
Perhaps the most prestigious and best
established of these consumer labels are
the Red Tractor logo and Scotch assured
logos connected with the Quality Meat
Scotland (QMS) brands.
Both can be considered market leaders in the UK, but are
also recognised internationally where their impact on the
consumer consciousness here has not gone unnoticed.
For a product to gain one of these labels, it must of
course undergo a rigorous and robust assessment as it
moves along the food chain from farm to processor and
then retailer.
This all starts at farm level where specific assessments
are made for crops, livestock, dairy and fresh produce
producers. No matter what the farm assurance scheme, all
standards are developed with input from industry experts
at all levels, including farmers. This ensures that while they
remain robust, they are also practical and focused on the
key areas of interest for each farm type.
Areas covered depend on the nature of the farm, but can
include everything from traceability and animal welfare, to
the use of fertilisers, biosecurity and crop management.
Successful assessments to the standards lead to
farms receiving the relevant certificate, which in turn
demonstrates to buyers both big and small that they
adhere to, and often surpass best industry practice in their
sector.

So, what’s in it for the farmer?
The main benefit is that they should gain greater
access to market for their product. Many butchers, food
manufacturers and retailers require
certain farm assurance standards
to be met before they will purchase
from a supplier. The UK’s leading farm
assurance standards are longstanding
and seen as the global benchmarks, so
success requires farmers to adhere to
set standards and can improve their own
practices and productivity. Additionally,
where the market is competitive and
quality is prized, assured products can also
receive a higher price, meaning that the
extra work pays off over the course of a year.
The other core benefit of being farm assured is that
revenue raised through the farm assurance schemes
are used by the label owners to lobby on behalf of their
members and promote the industry through focused
advertising and media campaigns.
These campaigns have been highly effective in bringing
the work of the farmer to the fore with consumers. The
knock on is that purchasing decisions which once may
have hinged on price are often made on the provenance
and quality of the product. A product which can only be
identified as such through the use of a label which starts
life on the farm.
Acoura are part of the Lloyd’s Register Group. Each
year they undertake around 30,000 farm assurance
assessments across the UK. They work in partnership with
both standard owners and producers to ensure that their
brands are protected. www.acoura.com
Damaged BVD T issue
Samples
We are seeing an increased number of tissue
samples for BVD testing that have been
damaged during postage, even when posted in
a padded envelope.
Once a tube is damaged and the tissue inside
is exposed to the air it cannot be tested for
BVD. Please make sure that you add extra
padding with bubble wrap, cotton wool or
something similar to give your samples
extra protection.

Proactive Health Planning for Higher Returns!
Animal Health Planning System (SAHPS) is a web based software system providing a structured approach to collecting
data and is an interactive interface for vets, farmers & consultants to work together to manage herd health and
productivity. The system’s development has been fully funded to date by the Scottish Government. The SAHPS is free to
Scottish vet practices and farmers. It is also available to farmers in England, Wales and Southern Ireland for a competitive
fee through their vet practice.
Data is collected for the physical performance of the herd/flock together with the existing medicines used. Vet and
farmer work together to form a tailored and comprehensive health plan to prioritise areas requiring attention. Targets
are set and actions implemented to maximise herd health, performance and economic returns. The plan is reviewed and
updated as information becomes available.
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
Useful features:
• SAHPS is a web based system where live information is accessible 24/7.
• You can upload documents such as lab reports and abattoir reports making information sharing easy.
• The calendar feature helps you and your vet manage events and schedule treatments via a
work list to make planning easier.
• The Veterinary medicines selector automatically inserts the essential product data saving
time sourcing information.
• You can benchmark your farm with similar enterprises locally and nationally to highlight
production shortfalls and view and compare your flock/herd production and disease data
year on year. SAHPS can also demonstrate the financial benefit of achieving production
targets.
Mobile App available shortly!
A new mobile app is being launched in late October 2017 to alol w penside collection of
production data in beef cow herds. Registrations, movements and deaths can be recorded
once and uploaded to BCMS. Data will also be sent to SAHPS herd health plan generating a
real-time assessment of herd performance with early notification of problems to the
herd’s vet consultant. Individual and/or group disease incidents and treatments will be
recorded and saved in the SAHPS e-medicine book. More information and online enquiry
form is available at www.sahps.co.uk

MAKING BVD HISTORY
EXPERIENCE THE LIVE VACCINE DIFFERENCE
Now that we’re moving from BVD control to eradication,
and with BVD estimated to cost £40 per cow per year 1,2 ,
you’ll want a vaccine that is proven to deliver a full 12
months’ prevention of foetal infection after a single injection.
Not only protecting against both types of BVD, but also proven
to stimulate both antibody and cellular immunity 3 .
Ask your vet for more information.

Advice on the use of Bovela or other therapies should be sought from your veterinary surgeon. Bovela lyophilisate and solvent for suspension for injection for cattle contains modified live BVDV-1,

BVD
Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) is
one of the most prevalent and
economically important diseases of
cattle worldwide 1 . In Ireland, Animal Health
Ireland (the organisation implementing
the national eradication programme) has
estimated the return on investment for
eradicating BVD to be €10 gained for every
€1 spent 2 . The effects of BVD can be subtle
and often go undetected, but are extremely
economically damaging.
The Persistently Infected (PI) calf is key
to the BVD virus’s success. If a cow or heifer
is infected at a certain stage of pregnancy,
her calf will be born persistently infected
with the virus. A PI calf will continuously
excrete a viral load one thousand times
greater than transiently infected animals 3 ,
throughout its life.
Eradication
There’s no reason to live with BVD; it
can be eradicated from any farm. The
mainstay of eradication is the identification
and removal of PI animals. Various tests
are available, including blood tests and
tissue testing ear tags - a convenient
way for many suckler herds to screen for
PIs. Once any PIs have been removed,
it’s vital that the herd is protected from
future infection by vaccination and good
biosecurity, supported by continuing
routine surveillance.
BVD Type 2
The predominant strain of BVD in the
UK is BVD type 1. However the presence
of BVD type 2 in Europe is a cause for
concern. Certain strains of BVD type 2 are
associated with more severe clinical signs
and higher mortality rates than BVD type
1 4 . Unless vaccination includes protection
from BVD type 2, even vaccinated animals
are at risk from this emerging disease,
since cross-protection from BVD type 1
vaccines is insufficient.
Vaccination
It’s important to ensure that any
vaccination programme against BVD
will provide 100% protection against the
production of a PI calf. If cattle aren’t fully
protected during pregnancy, infection may
result in the birth of a PI calf. Traditional
vaccination programmes have required
two injections as a primary course and on a
busy farm it can be difficult to ensure that
the primary course is carried out correctly 5 .
Bovela is the only live BVD vaccine
available in the UK. It provides 100% foetal
protection for 12 months, after a single
shot. This one shot primary course ensures
full protection after 3 weeks, without
having to handle cattle a second time.
Bovela protects against both type 1
and type 2 BVD, so cattle vaccinated with
Bovela are protected against the strains of
BVD currently prevalent in the UK, and also
future-proofed against potential incursion
of BVD type 2 into the country.

Farewell to Dear Friends
DICK PEARCE
1926 – 2017 - Past President 1989-
1990
I was touched and honoured when Dick
asked me four years ago if I would say a
few words at his funeral. In this beautiful
church, where Dick and Judy were married,
and which meant so much to them and
their family, and to Dick’s father and
grandfather and their families before him,
I shall try to do justice to a fine man, who
achieved much during his long life.
Dick Pearce was a farmer, and he was
most definitely a gentleman, but despite
that rather urbane, man about town
manner, he certainly wasn’t what we might
call a ‘gentleman farmer’, in the sense of
being someone who played at farming on
a big estate. He came from prime North
Somerset yeoman farming stock. His
father and grandfather had been farming
at Lower Court Farm since 1881, while
his mother Nell was a Withers, breeders
of some of the finest Dairy Shorthorns
in England. As an only child, on a hardworking
dairy farm, it wasn’t really
surprising that he decided quite early on
that farming was his destiny.
At the age of six, he was asked by his
teacher at Sunnyside to write down what
he wanted to be when he grew up.
“I want to be a farmer when I am grown
up”, he wrote, in handwriting of which a
boy twice his age would have been proud.
“And ride around the fields and count
the sheep and cows and sometimes feed
them. I would get up at five o’clock and
first I would get the cows in to be milked
and after milking I would clean out the
stalls and then go and have my breakfast,
and then after breakfast I would go around
the fields as I told you before at the
beginning of the story and I would have
gone milking again in the afternoon.”
It sounds like a fairly typical day on what
was, as I say, a very hard-working, North
Somerset mixed tenanted farm.
But that early enthusiasm wasn’t
entirely sustained during his later
schooldays, at Sherborne, where he
started as a boarder in 1940 at the age of
14, just as the Nazis decided to drop 325
bombs on the town. He enlisted with the
Somerset Light Infantry in 1944 at the age
of seventeen and a half - just too young
for D-Day - and served in India and Burma.
His time in the army may not have been
very long, but he always said that it had
a big influence on him: first in teaching
him the importance of man management,
which became one of his real strengths;
and second because it was while he was
in India that he somehow got hold of a
copy of Watson and Moore’s classic book
“Agriculture: the Science and Practice of
British farming” and decided once and for
all that farming was to be his career.
So, after de-mobilisation, he took
himself off to the Royal Agricultural
College, Cirencester, to do a year’s diploma
course - and I daresay cut a fairly wide
swathe through the young ladies of
Gloucestershire in the process!
Then it was back to the farm, much to
the gratification of his father Norman,
who was always known as Tim, because
it meant that he could spend more time
doing what he loved best, which was
hunting. Dick was taken into partnership
with his parents in 1949, and as the 50s
went on, he diplomatically, but firmly, put
his stamp on what was an increasingly
successful family business, Yanley Farm
having been acquired in 1940, Lower Court
056 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

Farewell to Dear Friends
Farm bought from the landlords and Bridge Farm being
added in 1957.
In the meantime had occured the most significant event
of Dick’s life, when he met Judy. They were both keen
Young Conservatives, and when Dick found himself short
of a partner for the annual YCs’ ball, a friend suggested he
ask Judy. Despite - or perhaps because of, the fact that
they could hardly be more different - he the ambitious
young farmer, earning his spurs on an expanding family
farm; she the effervescent, sophisticated, enthusiast
for drama, art and all things cultural - they got on like a
house on fire. Dick became chairman of the YCs, Judy was
Secretary. I hesitate to say that these roles were replicated
in their marriage, as I suspect that quite often it was
Judy who was Chairman and Dick Secretary, but in any
event, they married in 1953, and spent the next 64 years
together, at Long Ashton, Burton Bradstock and Clifton,
producing three daughters, Mary, Susan and Penny,
who would in time give Dick and Judy five grand-children
(Christopher, Katherine, Nicola, Katie and Phoebe) and 4
great grand-children (Evan, Morgan, Kesia and Zachary,
and another on the way!). In later years, Dick would often
say how lucky he had been in his life, and he was never
more fortunate than in that decision to ask Judy to the
Young Conservatives’ Ball.
Back on the farm, Dick was making his mark. The
1950s was a time of great change in farming, in North
Somerset as elsewhere. Labour had to be shed, as
mechanisation advanced. The two dairy herds were
amalgamated into one, milked through one of the first
herring-bone parlours in Somerset at Bridge Farm, and
in 1959 he began the process of replacing the Dairy
Shorthorns with British Friesians. And what fine cattle
they were: deep bodied, with strong and sturdy legs and
feet, long-lived and highly productive. He developed the
Yanley herd of British Friesians into one of the finest in
the West of England, winning the accolade of best Dairy
Herd in the Somerset NMR competition of 1978. Dick had
a wonderful eye for livestock, and when the time came
to switch from milk to beef, he was equally successful
with his Simmentals - so much so that he would in time
become President of the British Simmental Cattle Society,
and be presented to the Queen, when the Simmentals
won the Burke Trophy at the Royal Show in 1989.
Besides his stockmanship, the hallmarks of his farming
were good organisation, a shrewd business brain and
attention to detail. Dick’s near NFU contemporary, dear
old Fred Elliott, always used to tell me that you can tell a
farmer by his gates, and those on Yanley, Lower Court and
Bridge farms always swung smoothly on their hinges, with
not a length of baler twine in sight!
Dick always had interests away from farming. He
was a keen Mason, first with the Estune Lodge, of which
he would eventually become Worshipful Master, and
later as a Member of Rose Croix and the Sherborne
Lodge. He did his bit for his local community, serving
on Long Ashton parish council for ten years from 1992,
becoming chairman in 1999. For over 30 years he was
on the Council of Clifton High School, culminating in his
Presidency in 1990. He was an educationalist by instinct,
always keen to give young people a guiding hand.
By the mid-1990s, when he’d reached the age of 70
(although he looked years younger), he decided that
the time had come to wind down his farming activities.
The Simmentals were sold, hugely successfully, in 1997,
and final retirement came in 2004, after which he and
Judy divided their time between their cottage in Burton
Bradstock and their Clifton flat. But that didn’t mean
retirement from all his other interests, by any means.
It simply meant that he had more time to spend on his
many contacts with the Bristol business network. He was
a long-time member of the Clifton Club, serving a two
year term as chairman from 1999; he chaired the Anchor
Society, one of the three great Bristol charitable societies,
in 2002, and was so conscientious that he insisted on
writing every one of the hundreds of letters that chairmen
are expected to send out, inviting donations, in his own
fair hand. And he was a keen member of the Friendly
Reading Society - I’ve known very few farmers who were
so well-read.
His is an extensive, diverse and hugely impressive CV,
which speaks of a life of involvement, achievement and
service. But what sort of a man was Dick Pearce? How
shall we remember him for what he was, as opposed to
what he did?
He was, of course, the perfect gentleman: charming,
courteous, generous, unfailingly polite and immaculately
turned-out. His near neighbour Tom James, told me he
didn’t ever remember seeing Dick without a tie.
But behind the charm, there was real steel. He had
a deep inner strength - allied to the charm, it was what
made him such an effective chairman - and he could be
stubborn when the occasion demanded it. He achieved
so much during his long life with so many different
organisations not because of the honour and the glory,
but because he wanted to use his talents to make a
difference for the better.
What I will remember most vividly and fondly about
him is the twinkle in those bright blue eyes, under slightly
hooded eyelids, often accompanied by his wonderfully
conspiratorial laugh, as if there was always something
slightly more to any given situation than appeared at first
sight, and he was taking you into his confidence.
Dick Pearce was a loving husband and father, a firstclass
farmer, a brilliant stockman, a shrewd businessman,
one of the best chairmen of a meeting I have ever
encountered and a companion to be treasured.
He brought a touch of class to everything he did or
touched.
We are all the richer for having known him.

Farewell to Dear Friends
Thelma Hazel Gorman
(13th July 1950 to 12th September 2017)
Members of the Northern Ireland Simmental Cattle
Breeders‘ Club were shocked and deeply saddened by the
sudden passing of highly esteemed committee member
Thelma Gorman.
Mrs Gorman died as the result of a tragic farm accident.
Thelma Gorman established her well-known Woodford
Herd almost 40 years ago, and was dedicated to exhibiting
cattle and promoting the breed at agricultural shows
across the country. She was a great ambassador for
the Simmental breed, and over the years helped and
encouraged numerous new breeders to establish herds of
their own.
A long-standing committee member of the Northern
Ireland club, she held the position of chairperson twice –
1997 and 2007. In fact, Thelma Gorman has been the only
lady chairperson in the club’s history.
Thelma was a great organiser, and was responsible for
the hospitality rota on the Simmental stand at Balmoral
Show. She was also one of the main organisers of the
annual charity BBQ which has raised over £100,000 for
various local charities.
A director of Armagh County Show, Thelma played a
pivotal role in the running of the one-day show which
attracts more than 15,000 visitors annually. She was
secretary of the beef section and regularly shared her
valued experience, working hard to promote and enhance
the show.
Thelma also worked on a cross-community basis to offer
help and assistance within the cattle section at Tydavnet
Show in County Monaghan.
A committed Christian, Thelma worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the local community. Her passion was
breeding and showing Simmental cattle, but she also
enjoyed cooking, baking and flower arranging.
For more than 20 years, Thelma, and husband Peter,
opened up their home to provide respite care for children
with learning disabilities. They provided a home-fromhome
environment on a weekly basis for two young adults
in the local area.
Thelma’s efforts were rewarded in 2012 when she
received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Mayor
of Armagh City and District Council.
In 2016 she won the Farming Life and Danske Bank
‘Unsung Hero’ Award.
Thelma will be sadly missed by everyone who knew
her, but remembered for her contribution to Simmental
breeding in Northern Ireland.
Sincere condolences to her mother Molly, husband
Peter, sister Sandra, and the wider family circle.

Liz Turrell
04.03.35 - 23.10.17
Liz passed away in October after a short
illness.
Her husband Bill was the farm manager for
Mrs E.P.Yates, who had the Boscobel Herd of
Simmentals, near Wolverhampton. The herd
was dispersed in 1990.
Along with Bill, Liz kept close contact with
the breed and she was an active member
of the Midland Club, playing an integral
part in running the stand at the English
Winter Fair at Stafford along with supporting
fellow members at various shows and being
involved with club events.
She will be sadly missed by us all.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
Alan Pepper
21/4/1943 - 25/5/2017
Haulier / Farmer
Alan had always admired
Simmental cattle so was
delighted on his 40th
birthday to find that
Blanche, his wife, had
bought him 2 Siegfried
Simmental heifers from
Alan Keys of Cookstown
NI. This was the start of
his herd, Margaret Adams
Simmentals. During that
period of his life he was
working very hard at
his expanding haulage
business, so didn’t have
much time for foreign
travel. However, that all changed when he joined the
British Simmental Cattle Society. This enabled him to
enjoy travelling all around the world to congresses
and council meetings making lifelong friends with the
likeminded people he met on those trips, many of
whom came to stay at his home in Co. Down N. Ireland.
A strong family man Alan loved people and people
loved Alan. The local vet said on his passing “Alan
was a big character and the worst thing about big
characters is when they go they leave big holes”.
He is survived by his wife Blanche, daughter
Deborah, son-in-law Johnny, son Garth, daughter-inlaw
Gillian, son Rory, daughter-in-law Amy and his 7
beloved grandchildren.

year the following where elected onto the committee:
Chairman: David Savins
Vice Chairman: Mark Sallis
Treasurer: John Fellows
Secretary: Amy Cox
Amy Cox agreed to continue with her role as secretary

DINMORE ESTATE FARM WALK
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
The Three Counties held the National Show with an
unfortunate depleted number of Simmentals due to TB
restrictions. However due to these restrictions we still
managed to have a good show of cattle which where
judged by Peter Burgess. Peter was a former member of
the club and our thanks goes out to him for taking the time
to travel down from Northumberland to judge.
CHAMPION: Sterling Celia’s Fifi from Boddington Estates
RESERVE CHAMPION: Lynfield Hamish 16 from M/S A E
& C Bishop
Sadly this was the last year for Deerhurst and
Boddington Estates due to these two fantastic herds being
dispersed. It is easy to say that both herds have produced
some tremendous cattle over the years with great success
at many national shows. These two herds have been
instrumental in the progression of the breed and will be
greatly missed.
Friday night saw our annual dinner where we held an
auction organized by Robert Hewlett to raise money for a
very worthy charity the Air Ambulance. £1,750 was raised
on the evening, however money continues to trickle in to
the club for our nominated charity. Thanks goes to Robert
for his continued support with organising this.
In July a farm walk was organized on the Dinmore Estate,
Herefordshire managed by Richard Bartle. Members of
the Welsh and South West clubs joined us, which made
the visit well attended. Richard and Mary put on a fantastic
visit with their wealth of knowledge for all the cattle on the
farm. The Estate was a great venue for a farm walk and a
great deal of pride is put into maintaining this. We were
also blessed with great weather to top the day off.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
September saw another Moreton Show, which had a
reduced number of Simmentals. The weather was great
compared to last year and the show appeared to be very
busy with visitors. Thanks go to those that supported the
show this year and hopefully we will get a few more back
next year.
September 23rd saw a sad day for the dispersal of
the Deerhurst Herd. Sad in the respect that we have lost
another herd within the society. The Deerhurst herd has
always shown some tremendous cattle over the years and
have been exceptionally turned and presented by Noah.
We all wish Noah a happy retirement and look forward
to still seeing him around the show ring. Mr Guy Van
der Gucht has always been such a great supporter of the
Simmental breed. I knew Guy as a student at Hartpury
College when I worked there many years ago!
October 24th was a record day for the breed as the
Sterling Simmentals dispersed their herd at Stirling. Sale
prices were exceptional and the cattle were well presented
drawing vast numbers to the sale ring. Purchases were
great additions to a number of pedigree herds, which
will breed on through the coming years. I have been
fortunate enough to spend a number of enjoyable days
at Boddington Estates hosting the calf competition and
also working with Robert Hewlett on a number of projects
within the club.
It has been a pleasure to see the club go from strength
to strength since I was first introduced to Simmentals
at Warwickshire College in 1990 and to see the breed
change direction as new blood lines are introduced. All
breeders have their own ideas as to how the breed should
be presented, but I have always maintained that the
commercial farmer should come first and we should strive
to produce stock fit for developing the breed for longevity,
temperament and shape.
The beef industry has challenging times ahead with so
many changes approaching and I am convinced that the
Simmental breed will be robust and adaptable for the
future.
I would like to thank Amy and the committee for their
support over the past three years and I wish the new
chairperson all the best for the coming year as they take
over in February 2018. My wife Sandra has also supported
me as Chairman and I look forward to carrying my support
of the Centre West Club over the coming years.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
Cornwall Simmental Club
Report by Bridget Olds - Secretary
We began 2017 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.
February featured an ignominious defeat by the South
Devon Club who filled the first three places in the quiz
challenge renewal overseen by our chairman, Jim Buckland
in the role of quizmaster and ably adjudicated by his wife
Jean.
March featured the first Cornwall Club Sale at Exeter
market where there was difficult trade for bulls but a 100%
clearance rate for females. Killiworgie Snowdrop’s Evita and
her 6 month old bull calf topped the sale at 2400 gns. The
demand for females on the day exceeded supply and the
Club was heartened by the number of people attending the
sale and showing interest in the Simmental breed. A huge
thank you must go to the breeders that supported our first
venture (Bolankin, Bosahan, Cwarre, Heywood, Killiworgie,
Kurlycoat, Skylark and Starline).
Bosahan Highfalutin sold for 2000 gns
Our hopes for an impressive Commercial Day in April
were unfortunately thwarted and finally abandoned for the
year. However, plans are well under way for 2018.
In May, Cornwall breeders supported the Worcester
Society sale offering half of the bulls and a third of the
females forward on the day. Entries included cattle from
Killiworgie (Male Champion and Reserve and highest
female price of the sale with Killiworgie Hope), Chegwidden
(Female Champion), Bosahan (Reserve Female Champion),
Crowgey and Kurlycoat.
Worcester Sale Male & Female Champions – Killiworgie Heroe
and Chegwidden Bambino’s Hettie
During the first week of June attention is centred on
our county show at Wadebridge. This year Gordon Clark
(Broombrae ,Scotland) took on the damp task of judging
the eight classes, respective specials and championships.
Local breeders with entries forward included Sowenna,
Kurylcoat, Chegwidden, Killiworgie and Bosahan. Sterling
emerged as Female and Overall Champion with Sterling
Celia’s FiFi who also took the Inter-breed Best Beef
Cow. Cornish breeders will miss the annual Macmillan
challenge for honours at our most prestigious show.
The British Simmental section also featured in the Interbreed
Beef Pairs honours with Reserve Junior Champion
Sterling Barcardi’s Hope and Male Champion Killiworgie
Hornblower. Cornwall herd class winners were Jake
Gregory - Sterling Gino, Piers Hawkey - Sowenna Galaxy
and Viv Hall - Chegwidden Hercules (Reserve Male
Champion). A big thank must go to all the members and
supporters involved in preparing, running and clearing up
the hospitality tent and our generous sponsors.

Summer Shows - 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 mixed beef breed classes. Ant Hart (Treverbyn)
deservedly was awarded the Cornwall Club most points
award for successes with Skylark Geronimo and Bosahan
Flavia Alesha while Jim, Jean and Steven Buckland
(Wellatree) were runners-up with Wellatree Gem, Wellatree
Honeybun and Wellatree Handsome Hermes.

Skylark Geronimo was awarded Champion Simmental
with Killiworgie Grace’s Camelia best Simmental female.
Geronimo went on to stand reserve in the inter-breed
judging. Bosahan Flavia Alesha and Wellatree Gem lifted
the inter-breed best pair of uncalved heifers. This is
the fourth successive year that the Simmental females
have prevailed. Camborne also invited the beef breeds
to put forward teams of five females against the dairy
representatives for the first time in the Harry Cock
Challenge Trophy’s forty-year history. Killiworgie Grace’s
Camelia, Bosahan Georgia Cruz and Wellatree Honeybun
joined the aforementioned best pair and were placed in
the reserve spot to the Ruby Reds.

During August, Cornwall club members joined the
South West Club to visit the Deerhurst herd before their
September dispersal sale. It was a day given to us to
admire cattle in an historic setting, blessed with glorious
sunshine before a splendid buffet meal at the local tavern.
On the show scene Wellatree landed the Simmental
Championship and the breed pairs at Okehampton show
for the third consecutive year this time with Gem and
Honeybun.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
East Anglian Simmental Club
Report by Hayley Clarke – Secretary
Firstly, I would like to thank our club members who
supported shows and sales this year with some very
good cattle.
We have lots of talks and debates at our club meetings
but one thing we would all like to see is either a requirement
for animals at shows to be health tested or housed
separately with their own wash etc (much the same as MV
accredited sheep). With the breed working so hard on health
status on farms and at sales we think we should campaign to
carry on at shows.
Linda and Paul Gunther announced at our October
meeting that they were retiring from the contracting
business, holding an auction of some very good equipment
in February. The commercial herd will be reduced and sold
over the next year or so, leaving just a small pedigree herd
enabling time for more shows and possibly a few more extra
days shooting.
At Newark sale we saw the dispersal of two of our club
members Denis Mitchell (Thursford) and the Abram family
(Beetley), we wish you well for the future. Bulls sold well, with
a record price for this venue.
At Stirling in October our heifer Williams Belle’s Hannah
was Female Champion and we saw the dispersal of the
Sterling herd. It was nice to see some very nice cattle come
to Norfolk.
Williams Belle’s Hannah
Shows have been mostly down in cattle numbers,
probably for all sorts of reasons, TB rules, health risks or just
the high cost of showing.
Royal Norfolk had a good turn out of cattle of a high
standard, shame about the weather – another wet Norfolk!
Lesley and David won Breed Champion with Heathbrow
Sarah’s Elegance and our young bull Hogwarts won Junior
Interbreed and Reserve Male Interbreed.
At Aylsham show Linda and Paul were Breed Champion
with Fircovert Edwina and won Interbreed Pairs with Edwina
and Fantasy.
A big thank you to our judges, especially Judy Borlase
for judging our herd competition, travelling from the south
Suffolk coast to the north Norfolk coast!
We are privileged to have the National Show coming to
Royal Norfolk in 2019, they have a new livestock manager
Holly Whitaker, who will work with us to make it a great
success I’m sure.
Finally, I would like to wish you all good health, happiness
and good luck for 2018.

Report by Emma McInnes - Secretary
2017 SHOWS
Midhope Firstlight Tinsel
Lincoln Show was the first outing for the
club members. The Hollingsworth family’s
Midhope Firstlight Tinsel took Supreme
& Female Champion, going on to take
Reserve Interbreed Champion. Tinsel is
the first heifer calf from the noted cow
Midhope Brightlight. Tom & Ruby’s bull
Scotland Hill Hercules, who was the first
progeny to be shown from Glenturk Extra
Special, took Reserve Male and Reserve
Junior Champion. He also went on to
team up with Midhope Firstlight Tinsel
and Midhope Heavenly Light (Tinsel’s full
sister) to compete in and take the Reserve
Interbreed Group of Three.
Norfolk show saw Kirsty and Donald
winning the April yearling class with St
Trinians Holly.
At the Agri Expo in Carlisle the Steele
family flew the flag for the club, taking 1st place with their Fortune. Andrew took 2nd place with his heifer Weeton
bull calf Blakewell Idol in the January class and second Crocus’s Honeysuckle in the September class. Katie who
place with their other bull calf Blakewell Idaho in the March had clipped, prepared and showed the cattle, went on to
class, these are the first progeny to be shown from Saltire take 3rd place in the young handler’s class.
2017 SALES
At the Spring show and sale held at Carlisle, the Steele
family took three heifers, selling to the top of
3500gns, all into pedigree herds. With the Midhope
family taking the Leading Ladies Champion selling to the
top of 3000gns and also into pedigree herds. Tom and
Ruby’s bull Scotland Hill Goodie took 2nd place in his class
and sold for 4100gns.
Blakewell Annie’s Gaiety
Midhope Gem
This sale saw Brian Lundy have a major reduction. I’m
sure that this was a sad day for Brian but it did see his
genetics sold to purchasers across the country and I’m sure
Brian will enjoy seeing how they all go on and breed in the
future. Brian was a founding member of the Eastern club,
his passion and enthusiasm for the breed, and agriculture
as a whole, is definitely to be admired.
Tom and Ruby took their first bull up to Stirling in
October, Scotland Hill Hercules, whom they’d successfully
shown in the summer, receiving first place at the presale
show and then selling for 4500gns.

SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
Scotland Hill Hercules 16
Ian Willison
It’s been a challenging year this year, what with the
weather and just the sheer amount of work that we all
take on but with that aside, as a club, the members have
achieved a lot in their own right and had some fun along
the way. Here is to 2018 and what that may bring along.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
Midlands
Simmental Club
Greasley Estates – Lambclose Herd
Report by Richard Storer-Smith -
Chairman
I
can hardly believe it’s 12 months since the last time I sat
and typed the report for the Midlands Club. Our main
events, the quiz and the herd competition were both very
well supported once again.
The quiz took place at The Moat House in Acton Trussell
– a very successful and enjoyable evening was had by all.
This year, All The Ex-President’s Men managed to nudge
their way to victory by a slim margin over Team Sherlock,
and tried not to look too delighted about it!
In March this year, we had a visit from Meurig James to
talk about classification. Several Midlands Club herds have
started to classify their cows, and it was a very informative
and interesting evening which resulted in much discussion
of the pros and cons.
The Herd Competition Results meeting was held at
Greasley Estates this year, courtesy of Lady Barber.
The weather was kind, the buildings beautiful, the view
breathtaking, the food gorgeous and the pit fire welcome.
A huge well done to Lady Barber, who won the overall
competition, pipping Giles and Mandy Green into reserve.
Two on-the-day competitions were held. The first was to
guess the combined weight of six calves, which was won by
Norma Pennington. The second was to guess the weight of
an individual bull calf, which was won by Justin Fenemore.
Sadly, too young to drink the prize, but a problem to which
a solution was found. Many thanks to Penny Lally who
made an excellent job of the judging, and to Ann Jukes,
who was an entertaining travelling companion, and was
absolutely correct about it being quicker to follow the
coach in the car...

Club members have had their fair share of success at our
National Show at Malvern. At the English National, four of
the classes were won by Club members, with the Wroxall
herd taking Senior heifer champion. A big shout out to all
those who have competed this year; hopefully large numbers
of breed champion rosettes have made it worth your while.
It’s much easier (and cheaper!) to stay at home, so thank you
for flying the flag for our club and for the breed.
A particular shout out to the following, who shone on the
circuit this year in interbreed competitions:
David and Susan Donnelly – Ashbourne Show – Supreme
Beef Reserve Champion
Richard and Louise Storer-Smith – Ashbourne Show –
Open Beef Pairs - Reserve
Jimmy and Vikki Wood – Great Yorkshire Show – Supreme
Beef Champion
Jimmy and Vikki Wood - Royal Welsh Show– Supreme Beef
Champion & Reserve Fitzhugh Championship Pairs
Our young members had several successes this year,
not least Harriet Thomas-Mee, who was the highest placed
English entrant in the Young Members Stock Judging. She will
be representing England and the Midlands Club at the stock
judging at the Danish National Show and we wish her the
best of luck.
Hannah Wood has also had an impressive year winning
the Stockperson of the year trophy at the Royal Highland
Show and Interbreed Young Handlers pairs at the Royal
Welsh Show in a very tough competition.
Alex Heath won the Cogent Beef Futures Award, and with
it a scholarship and a trip to France and the opportunity to
visit the Paris Show earlier this year.
The year finished with the stand at the English Winter Fair,
manned by Mandy, Kath Martindale and Andrea Booth. The
Show was overshadowed this year by the loss last month of
Liz Turrell. Liz was a backbone of the Midlands Club, whose
presence was always evident on the stand at the Winter Fair
– she was, and will be, greatly missed. Thank you to everyone
who donated cakes and raffle prizes – we raised £218.20,
which will be donated to the Royal British Legion in memory
of Liz.

I would like to sign off as Chairman with an official
acknowledgment of the achievement made by Jimmy and
Vikki Wood this year. Two Interbreed successes at two of
the UK’s largest Shows is not something that should go
unnoted. As active Midlands Club members they, (and Popes

AN EPIC ADVENTURE!
We called it ‘an Epic Adventure’
Judging the Midland Club herds
Hardly ‘Thelma & Louise ’more ‘Enid & Maud’
We set off, these two crazy birds!
When asked to judge I was not sure
But the challenge was hard to refuse
So I asked my good friend Ann to come with me
Her navigating skills we could both use!!
All the cattle we saw were impressive
A pleasure to be able to see
Without exception all breeders so passionate
For their cattle, it made judging them so hard for me
I love meeting’ Simmental people’
The same passion for their animals we share
Everyone made us so very welcome
For four days we talked ‘Simmies’, us pair
Apart from the cattle I must mention;
At Wroxall superb tea and cake
At Heaths’ their sweet Border Terriers
Which of course Ann wanted to take
At the Arnolds’ the thunder and dear Hugo
Whom we joined for a quick bite of lunch
The Martindales’ litter of puppies
Twelve wee spaniels in that happy bunch
At Blackpool with the Tower in the distance
The Maize maze and donkey from the beach
Then the Goddards’ in their ‘Little Switzerland’
Where we got lost when trying to reach
The Wainwrights’ so busy and keen
Storer Smiths with a prize winning cake
David Donnelly’s Henry the Donkey
Lovely garden and beautiful lake
At Greasley we met Lady Barber
A lady who knows what she likes to see
When viewing her cattle from her window
At her grand age inspirational to me
Joe Mee and his super keen granddaughter
Delia Williams’ vegetable garden supreme
And then last but not least the dear Mandy
And her hard working family, the Greens
So thank you for the honour of judging
I hope not too many folk I’ve upset
I have seen wonderful cattle and breeders
A great experience I will never forget.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
North East Club
Report by Jayne Pick, Secretary.
The North East Club’s year began in February with the
Interbreed quiz held at the usual venue, The Anchor
Inn, Whixley. The Club put up a tremendous fight to
finish a very creditable 2nd to the NE Charolais Club. One
week later the British Blues held their Charity quiz evening
at Burghwallis near Doncaster. The Club had a somewhat
depleted team and did really well not to finish up collecting
the wooden spoon! Thank you to the NE Limousin Club
and the NE British Blue Club for their invite and warm
hospitality, it all made for a couple of very enjoyable
evenings.
April brought the Leading Ladies Show & Sale. Well
done to Club members Val, John & Craig Hollingsworth
who collected the Championship with ‘Midhope Gem’
who sold for 3000gns to A Clarke, County Armagh. Her
stable mate ‘Midhope Gwenn’ also sold for 3000gns. Ian &
Margaret Steele from Easington near Hull had their long
journey rewarded when they sold their unhaltered female
‘Blakewell Annie’s Gaiety’ for 3500gns to Clive Houldey
from Waterbeck, Lockerbie. This February 2015 born heifer
was sired by Caistor Aristotle 09 and had been running
with Blakewell Warrior prior to sale.
The Clubs AGM was held at Scarthingwell in April after
Sunday lunch. All positions remained unaltered. Thank you
BLAKEWELL ANNIE’S GAIETY – Top
Price Female at the Carlisle Sale
to Craig Hollingsworth for continuing his role as Chairman
and Andrew Steele for his long-standing position as
Treasurer.
Congratulations to our Chairman Craig Hollingsworth and
his parents John & Val on their success at the Lincolnshire
show in June. They were showing two daughters out of their
unbeaten show cow ‘Midhope Bright Light’.
MIDHOPE GEM - Leading Ladies Champion
090
www.britishsimmental.co.uk

‘Midhope Firstlight Tinsel’ won the Overall Championship
and collected the Reserve Interbreed the next day, whilst her
sibling ‘Midhope Heavenly Light’ took the Reserve Female
Champion spot. The full sisters by ‘Delfur Chas 11’ along with
Tom Hills’ ‘Scotland Hill Hercules 16’ made up the Interbreed
group of three and were pulled into the Reserve Champion
spot; what a great advert for the breed.
MIDHOPE FIRSTLIGHT TINSEL - Overall Champion &
Reserve Interbreed Champion at the Lincolnshire Show
It was the turn of Preston-based Vikki, Jimmy, Harry
and Hannah Wood to take the Supreme Interbreed title
at the Great Yorkshire Show in July with Popes Princess
Cleo, a February-2011 born cow with her heifer calf at foot.
Many congratulations to the Wood family for their terrific
achievement. The quality of cattle at the show was again
superb. Thank you to Anne Wise and Jim Brindley for their
help in putting on refreshments for exhibitors and guests.
Next year the Great Yorkshire will be hosting the National
Show. The NE Club is looking forward to welcoming exhibitors
and visitors.
‘Midhope Firstlight Tinsel’ continued her run of success
POPES PRINCESS CLEO – Supreme Interbreed
Champion at the Great Yorkshire Show
at the Driffield Show in July winning the Championship in
the any other breed section. Well done to Katie Steele who
brought out her parent’s sweet 9-month-old heifer ‘Weeton
Crocus’s Honeysuckle’ to collect a 2nd in a very strong young
handlers class, well done again Katie.
The Driffield Show is Yorkshire’s largest one day show and
attracts huge crowds. Unfortunately this year, due to fewer
Simmental exhibitors, the breed was amalgamated with the
any other breed classes. Whilst numbers in this section were
good it is such a pity the Simmental classes have been lost.
Please do try to support this fantastic show and hopefully we
will see a return of classes for our breed.
In September, highly respected North East members Mike
& June Brears dispersed their successful and long established
Beaghall Herd. The herd was founded in 1987 with purchases
from the Sacombe & Revelex Herds and has enjoyed success
at major shows including the Royal. Greenside Trixie Belle 3rd
was purchased in 1997 for 10,800gns, a new record price for
a Simmental heifer at the time. The Herd looked very well on
the day and I am sure these genuine cattle will go on to do
very well for their new owners.
At the Agri Expo Calf Show in Carlisle in November, North
East members Ian & Margaret Steele won a 1st and 2nd in the
young bull classes with Blakewell Idol and Blakewell Idaho
respectively. Whilst Andrew & Ruth Steele collected a 2nd
with their heifer Weeton Crocus’s Honeysuckle. Andrew &
Ruth’s daughter, Katie, then came 3rd in the young handlers
competition. A real family celebration!
At the time of writing the Club is looking forward to the
Annual Dinner in November. This is the last get together
before the winter months and always proves to be a wellattended
enjoyable evening.
Although there are many uncertainties around Brexit, the
breed continues to progress. Wishing all Simmental breeders
success and pleasure with their cattle in 2018.

North West
Simmental Club
Report by Juliet Sanders - Chairman
What a pleasure it has been to be chairman for the
second year of the North West Simmental Club.
Firstly, I would like to welcome the six new
members who have joined us this year. The year started
with our club AGM held at the Auctioneer, Carlisle, where
new club officers and committee were elected and Wendy
Dickinson retired as club secretary, all her hard work was
very much appreciated by the club so thank you Wendy.
Following the AGM Jim and Patricia Goldie very kindly gave
us a talk on Cow Classification, after a lot of interest and
discussion the idea of a practical demonstration was born.
April was the Leading Ladies and Bull Sale at Carlisle.
It was kindly judged by Zara Clarke from County Armagh.
Crystal glasses were presented to the Goldie family for
Newbiemains Glitz for the highest placed North West Club
member.
Highest placed Northwest member
August, and a beautiful summer’s day for our club farm
walk held at Newbiemains Simmentals in conjunction with
a female classification day. This was a very popular event
attended by 180 people from far and wide. We were free
to walk around the impressive herd of cattle all looking
glorious in lovely fields of grass. After a lovely lunch the
head classifier Meurig James conducted the demonstration
which we all found very interesting. The aim of female
classification is to “classify” the cow by judging traits, the
body, beef character, legs feet and udder. The day was
finished off with a fabulous bar b que It was also a fund
raiser for the children’s ward at Dumfries Hospital raising
£3000. A huge thank-you to Jim and Patricia Goldie, and
family, for hosting this impressive event.

The young members trip this year was in our
neighbouring region and members of the club were
kindly invited to attend the BBQ hosted by the Barlows at
Denizes Simmentals and also to the second day hosted
by Club members David and Christine Loftus at Blackpool
Simmentals, where visitors had an enjoyable day viewing
their cattle and exploring the Maize Maze.
The club would like to Congratulate Manor Park and the
Houldey family on their success at the Stirling Bull sales.
The Agri Expo was again a popular event. This year club
members expressed an interest to be more involved in
the cattle exhibits on the stand. Therefore earlier in the
year Neil Shand kindly organised to meet with members
to plan this. This was well attended and great to see such
active involvement from the key members. Fantastic cattle
were sourced from Ian Willison, the monitor farm, and
local farmers, David and Rosemary Cornthwaite, Irvine
Pearson and Jim and Patricia Goldie. Overall we had an
impressive stand that was busy all day. There was a lot of
interest from commercial farmers and we had several new
members join our club. A big thank you to all who helped
on the day....good club effort team!

The Calf Show was well supported there were a good number of entries with a high quality show of calves. Prizes for
each class were generously provided by sponsors from local companies. The North West highest placed member was
the Blackpool herd, so we were pleased to present them with a set of crystal glasses. The Young Handler’s class was the
largest class of the day and was well supported by some new handlers. After much deliberation the judge chose Frank
Gywnne as his worthy winner, who he presented with the Ralph Lloyd Perpetual Trophy.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
Northern Ireland Simmental
Cattle Breeders Club
Chairman’s Report by Matthew Cunning
It is a sad time for the Northern Ireland Simmental Club
as I write this review, with the recent tragic passing of our
long-standing and highly esteemed club and committee
member Mrs Thelma Gorman from Armagh.
Thelma established her Woodford Herd almost 40 years
ago. She was dedicated to the Northern Ireland Simmental
Club and supported the local agricultural shows. She
was a great ambassador for the Simmental breed, and a
tremendous inspiration to other breeders.
Thelma Gorman has been the only lady chairperson in
the club’s history, having held the office on two occasions,
1997 and 2007. Thelma worked selflessly for the local
community, and was the worthy recipient of the 2016
Farming Life/Danske Bank Unsung Hero Award.
Thelma will be greatly missed by our club.
Scottish breeder Iain Green from the Corskie Herd of
pedigree Simmentals at Garmouth, praised the quality of
Simmentals at the Pedigree Calf Fair, held at Balmoral.
“It has been a pleasure to judge this impressive show.”
Catching Iain Green’s eye to take the Senior
Championship plaudits was the thirteen-month-old Scribby
Farms George, an Omorga Volvo son, bred by Keith and
Andrea Nelson from Rosslea.
Runner-up was the September 2015 Lisglass Gallant
bred by Leslie Weatherup, and son Chris, from Ballyclare.
This one is by herd sire, and former Balmoral Champion,
Dermotstown Delboy.
Pat Kelly, and son Frank, Tempo, secured the Junior
Championship award with the ten-month-old bull Ashland
Humdinger. Also by Dermotstown Delboy.
Claiming the Reserve Junior title was the January 2016
Curaheen Apostle son Drumlone Hotrod exhibited by
Kenny Veitch, Lisbellaw.

The Club held its annual dinner and presentation of
awards at the Cohannon Inn, Dungannon, where we all
enjoyed a great meal followed by the prize distribution
to our successful show and sale winners. At this event we
also extend thanks to our many sponsors who are very
important to this club’s success.
Congratulations to all.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
John named
UNSUNG HERO
Northern Ireland Simmental Club member John
Jardine was the recipient of the 2017 Farming Life
and Danske Bank Unsung Hero Award.
The hotly contested award, as voted for by the readers
of Farming Life, was presented at a gala black tie dinner in
Belfast’s La Mon Hotel.
The County Down herd owner is a fundraising volunteer
for the Southern Area Hospice, and works tirelessly and
selflessly for the local community. He was nominated by
fellow breeder and friend, Thelma Gorman, winner of the
2016 Unsung Hero Award, just days before she lost her life
in a tragic farm accident.
Ten years ago John, and wife Julie, lost their daughter,
Helen, after a brave battle with cancer. Helen was
diagnosed in February 2005, and during her illness she
was a day care patient at the Southern Area Hospice in
Newry.
During that time John got an insight into the invaluable
care and support that the hospice provides for patients
and their families. John and his family began raising
money for the hospice, an organisation which relies on
voluntary donations and needs £2.5m annually to sustain
the level of care provided.
The family is well known in the local community, and
when Helen (36) passed away a substantial amount of
money was collected in lieu of flowers.
Over the years John and Julie have become well-known
for their fundraising activities, and have helped to raise
thousands of pounds for charity in memory of their
beloved daughter.
They support all of the Southern Area Hospice’s events,
including Midnight Memory Walk, Strictly Come Dancing,
and volunteer annually to sell tickets in Buttercrane
Shopping Centre for the prize draw for a car.
The family’s fund raising activities range from hosting
an annual memorial Gospel Concert, selling firewood,
planting daffodils, and helping to organise vintage and
threshing demonstrations. John also judged the Farmer
Wants a Wife competition in Armagh, while daughter
Barbara took part in the ‘To Hell and Back’ endurance
challenge, and son Colin, completed a parachute jump.
The former pig farmer also operated a livestock haulage
business for more than 30 years. He describes himself
as a ‘workaholic’, and is very hands-on when it comes
to building and making things. He will turn his hands to
anything, and is always willing to help others in any way he
can.
John established his 17-cow Spelga View pedigree
Simmental herd six years ago. In 2015 he was the driving
force behind the NI Simmental Club’s annual charity BBQ
which raised £8,500 for the hospice.
Personal circumstances have prompted the family to
support other charities in recent years, including Marie
Curie, the Royal and Musgrave hospitals in Belfast.

with big roomy females and a rather handsome stock bull
in the form of Norman Esquire. A mouth-watering spread
of tea and homemade cakes was laid on by Janet. Thank
you.

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
South West Club
Report by Dawn Shapland - Secretary
The Club Report this year begins on a slightly different
note, an event too late for submission to the last
Review.
By kind invitation of David and Kath Edwards and their
daughter Fran Ford on December 11th 2016, we visited the
Silver Moor Herd at Pool Farm, Banwell in Somerset. At this
well attended visit we were shown well farmed, purebred
commercial cattle. As much a social gathering as a herd
visit we enjoyed the delightful company of our lovely hosts
and a superb spread of Kath’s delicious food.
Undeterred by the horrible weather, eight teams took
part in the 2017 Interbreed Quiz. At the usual venue,
the ever popular Oake Manor Golf Club, Kath Edwards,
Marjorie Ellicott, Adrian Curry and myself, finished in a very
creditable second place. Our downfall this year.... football!
A raffle and auction of gifts raised £290 for the Dorset
and Somerset Air Ambulance. Our thanks, as always, to
David Barker for organizing the event.
The A.G.M in March brought about several changes
to the Club Officers and Committee. Following a postal
nomination process, Adrian Curry has succeeded John May
as Chairman, elected onto the committee are Jim and Beth
Cook, and Ian and Rachel Scott-Douglas. We wish to extend
our thanks to former members, Miss Sandra Francis,
Rupert Ridout, Peter Force and Philip Webber, for their
many years of service to the club.
The outgoing Chairman’s speech was followed by the
usual delicious meal.
Guest speaker on the evening was Mr John Daw, a wellknown
farmer and Mid Devon Council Member. His speech
preceded the evening’s other entertainment, “How long
would it take Jack Ellicott to make three cattle halters?” The
answer was an unbelievable 4 minutes 58 seconds! The
nearest guess came from Gill Gummow. “Jack’s” raffle,
raising funds for the Club, brought the evening to a close.
At Worcester Show and Sale in May, judge Boomer
Birch’s Overall and Male Champion was the Gummow
family’s Killiworgie Heroe. They also had the Reserve Male,
Killiworgie Giovanni. Both bulls sold for 3000gns.
Killiworgie Giovanni 15
The Reserve Overall and Female Champion, Mrs V Hall’s
Chegwidden Bambino’s Hettie, sold for 2400gns.
Chegwidden Bambino’s Hettie
Top priced bull was Lopemede Hamish, bred by Mr J
Rixon, selling for 4100gns.
Trade for females was particularly good with the
splendid Killiworgie Hope, selling for 4000gns to the
Winford Herd.

(Lopemede) and Messrs L J & A J Curry (Winford).
At the Devon County Show in May, Judge Mr Aneurin
Francis (Pistyll Herd) chose Len and Adrian Curry’s Winford
Fantasia as Breed Champion and Winford Hannabelle,
Reserve Champion. Fantasia’s calf, Horizon, was the
Reserve Champion Male.
Newcomers to the event were the Reed and Scott-
Douglas families. They enjoyed a very successful show with
their Skylark Hallmark being awarded Male Champion.

July 2nd and it was such a great shame so few of us
took the opportunity to visit the Dinmore Herd. You missed
out on an absolute treat! We were shown superb Limousin
and Beef Shorthorn Cattle and also a small contingent of
Simmentals, kept as recipients. Thank you Centre West
Club for inviting us to join you and to Richard Bartle and
Jimmy McMillan (in the driving seat), for taking us around
this incredible estate.
On August 13th, by kind invitation of the owner, Mr
Guy Van Der Gucht, we visited Lower Apperley, home to
the highly regarded Deerhurst Herd. At this picturesque
location, 43 people took this final opportunity to view the
cattle before the forthcoming dispersal sale. Accompanied
by herdsman Noah Hoskins, a gentle walk around his
incredibly quiet animals, was the perfect way to spend a
Sunday afternoon.
REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS

HERD COMPETITION
During August, our Herd Competition Judge, Mr Roy
Loud (Taurus Herd), travelled the region with companion
Mr Lee Hendy. Even though there were fewer entrants,
this didn’t detract from the usual high standards. To those
of you that travelled to Cornwall last Autumn for the
Killiworgie Herd visit, it will come as no surprise to learn
that the Gummow family were once again the Overall and
Large herd winners.

Improved Herds
Awards 2017
​Dinton Herd wins AHDB Beef & Lamb Progressive
Herd award for the Simmental cattle breed
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
The Dinton herd, owned by Miss
Francis from Mere in Wiltshire, has
been recognised by AHDB Beef &
Lamb as the most progressive herd of
Simmental cattle based on the herd’s
genetic merit and improvement in 2017.
Miss Francis started the herd 1993,
having reared Friesian heifer calves and
using a Simmental artificial insemination
(AI) bull. Miss Francis said: “My aunt visited
from Australia and advised me that I needed
to improve production and so I started to
switch from the crossbred herd and formed
the pedigree Dinton herd. I bought the first
pedigree cow, Townsend Lucy, as a yearling
from the New Forest and her progeny are
still in the herd today. I now have 20 cows
and around 25 followers.
The Farm is 60 acres, with six acres of
lucerne and the rest permanent pasture. All
forage is made on the farm.
Bulls are sold for breeding to dairy
farmers and anything not suitable goes
fat. In 2003 Genus bought the bull Dinton
Nautical which is still being used today.
“I don’t keep a stock bull as I don’t have
the facilities in the winter and all the AI is
performed by a Genus technician” explains
Miss Francis. “I try to use the best AI semen
and look at all the figures to make sure
future generations on the female side
improve. It’s important to me that animals
calve on their own and so I pay close
attention to birth weight and gestation
length figures.
“I have two elite cows in the herd at
the moment, Dinton Trinket and Dinton
Kiwi. I look for cows which are easy
calving, the main thing is having a calf
born alive and healthy.” Both these cows
are granddaughters of Townsend Lucy
my foundation cow. I also have direct
descendants of Dinton Nautical in the herd
too.”
On winning the award, Miss Francis said:
“I couldn’t believe I won the Progressive
Herd Award. I also won Small Area Herd in
South West so it’s been a good year for the
Dinton herd. I am really proud of the fact I
have won.”

Autumn saw the dispersal of two herds that despite
being over the border have supported the Welsh club over
the years. It was nice to see club members support the
Deerhurst and Sterling dispersals and no doubt we will see
some of these animals at shows over the coming years.
A few members went to warmer and cooler climes to see
Simmental cattle. I went to Australia for a friend’s wedding
and used this as an opportunity to visit eight Simmental
herds.
Aled Davies, Anwen Jones, Eirian Lloyd and Rachel
Nicholas travelled to Canada where they enjoyed the
Agribition show and herd visits.
The club’s year ends with the Royal Welsh Winter Fair
at Builth Wells. Cattle for the stand were kindly loaned

Tour 2017
This year’s trip took us to the county of Lancashire.
The Barlow family held the stock judging competition,
we all arrived at the spick and span yard where 4
classes of cattle were waiting for our young members to
judge. Before judging commenced Chris Martindale gave
us our first seminar of the day. Explaining to the young
members how to approach reason giving and what good
points that they can make and add into their reasons. The
cow class was the final class and class that the reasons
were given on. Our master judges Simon Key (junior young
members) and Stewart Stronach (senior young members)
then went and listened to all the competitor’s reasons. As
the young members filtered back from giving their reasons
they all got to go and see the fruits of John’s hard work,
5 embryo calves all out of Auroch Eve on their surrogate
mothers just a matter of days old, was a fair sight to see.
I’m sure we will be seeing them all again at a bull sale or
show at forthcoming events.
Everyone got onto tractor trailers for a look around the
fields of cattle. Not three days before our visit, the boys
had to deal with torrential rain and flooding, so we were
lucky to be able to travel across the ground and get to the
cattle. The cows and young stock in the fields were a sight
to be seen, John spent time explaining the breeding of the
cattle and what they have achieved in the past be it win a
championship at a show or sell bulls to 15,000 gns.
Lunchtime saw us all make the short journey to the
trailer yard where, what can only be described as a
banquet, sat waiting for us all to arrive. Over lunch Tom
Lomas from Cell Tech gave us a seminar on embryo
transfer, about how the process works, how to get the best
results and also included some facts and figures about
costs to expect too, which was very interesting to see put
down on paper and broken down.
Then all our competitive sides were really brought out,
not naming any names (Neil), as we took to the go kart
track for a quick Grand Prix. Boys will be boys and they
definitely under estimated some of the girl’s skills! Great
fun was had by all, it was good to all socialise and compete
away from the show ring!
Upon our return to the trailer yard Michael gave us a
whistle stop tour of the forecourt, showroom and stores,
it was impressive to see how efficient the place ran. In the
paddock at the back of the sheds stood Blackford Galaxy.
He had a good run about the paddock showing off in front
of his audience!
PICTURES FROM OUR TRIP TO THE DENIZES HERD
148 www.britishsimmental.co.uk

This took us to the pinnacle of the event, the
presentation of awards and social evening. After a hog
roast Neil and I set about all the thank you gifts, of which
there was a lot, as so many people had put a lot of
effort into making this event go so well, then came the
presentation and the young members finding out who won
the trip to Denmark in 2018, kicking off the party in style
with Alasdair Macpheat taking to the stage made of a flat
bed trailer, very fitting indeed. He definitely sang the night
away and everyone let their hair down and joined in. It was
a fantastic end to a very action-packed day.
Sunday took us to the Blackpool herd of David and
Christine Loftus. They also run a maize maze, we were all
welcomed with a coffee in the play barn area where most
of the members made use of the excuse to have a go on
a tractor or two! We all jumped onto Christine’s son’s bus
and went to the grazing cattle. A leisurely walk around the
cattle with questions being asked about breeding to David
and Christine. I think some appreciated the fresh air more
than others not mentioning any names to go with that
comment!

This year’s event was very well attended, and I know that
everyone who did attend took something away from it, be
it a new skill stock judging, or an idea on how to multiply
their best genetics quickly, drive a go kart with guts and
beat Neil, create new friendships, or learn how to dance
the night away. I know that the weeks leading up to the
event were stressful and hard work for those holding the
event and we are all so grateful for that effort and for the
fantastic hospitality we received.

“The Simmental Young Members trip was an excellent
weekend with great cattle to see and hospitality from
all places visited. The social night was a great way to
get everyone involved young and old breeders and was
enjoyed by everyone.”
“This was the first trip I have attended, it was action
packed, I had great fun and learnt some new tips with
regards to stock judging which I put into practice at the
competition.”
“I feel the seminars which were provided were
appropriate for all the members attending -young and old
- and I definitely learnt a lot about what to look for when
judging a Simmental animal in the talk before the judging
commenced.”
“The activities such as the go karting were suitable for
everyone and brought out a healthy competitive streak
bringing everyone together.”
“The prize giving, and hog roast was very well organised,
and I certainly got to know a lot of the young members a
lot better, throughout the trip, even members from my
own club. No one was left out and the after party certainly
showed the essence of being a young member. “
“This was the first Simmental trip I had attended, I can’t
wait for the next one, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “
“The trip was a very fun and interesting experience, I’d
like to do this again in the future. I also learnt how to dance
and thoroughly enjoyed the disco!!“
“The Simmental Young Members trip was a great
experience that gives the chance to see other cattle
in other parts of the country. This was my first young
member’s trip and I was lucky enough to win the trip to
Denmark, this is a great opportunity to go and see the
different breeding in another country.”

NATIONAL
YOUNG STARS
For those of you that don’t know what this event
is about, it’s an event specifically for young stock
people to showcase their talent. Every element is
taken into consideration from how well they present
themselves to how good they are at promoting their
breed or company that they are representing.
We entered two teams to this year’s event, a senior
team with lots of experience under their belts and a
junior team who wanted to experience and learn new
skills. So, after months of preparation we all headed to
Malvern.
Sacombe kindly lent us 4 heifers to use, Daisy Jones
went on work experience to Bridget’s to get them halter
broken prior to the event. The teams with cordless drills
at the ready set up their promotional stands, bedded,
washed and settled their heifers in.
The event is a two-day event and from the word go
they are being judged on their abilities to perform the
necessary tasks involved in looking after, preparing and
showing the animals, also on their knowledge of the
industry as a whole. They do all of this as a team and
completely unaided from outside help.
The teams did well with the ‘Super Simmies’ team
taking third place and ‘#teamsimmies’ taking 6th place.
Frank also got the individual 16 and under award.

Some quotes from young members about the
National Young Show Stars
James McKay Wightman
“National Young Show Stars is a great competition
to be part of. It has a great atmosphere from start
to finish and lets you see that working together
and discussing what needs done as a team is really
important when preparing cattle to ensure that the
best job is made.”
Daisy Jones
“Great show, I’ve never done anything like that.
I’ve been doing shows for about a year now and at
the National Young Show Stars I competed in stock
judging, which I’ve never done before and watched
as one of my team members did the clipping to get a
rough idea of what to do. I really enjoyed the event,
thank you to all those that make it possible for us to
attend such an event.”
Frank and Dafydd Gwynne
“It was a very fun and interesting experience, I
liked how there was parts of every show aspects such
as clipping, stock judging and the showing itself. I’d
like to do this again in the future.”
Letter of thanks from Louise Allan
Dear Members of the British Simmental Cattle Society
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all
for the kind support, sponsorship and entertaining events
during the month of August. Myself and my team members
James Wightman and Emma McAlister were to create a
breed stand as well as present two animals for show and
also participate in stock judging, a team challenge quiz
and a public interview. Our heifers were kindly supplied
by Bridget Borlase and we had generous donations from
Barlow Trailers, McInnes Show and the British Simmental
Cattle Society. These donations allowed us to purchase
clothing, equipment and supplies and we are most grateful
for them. Anne McPherson also kindly photographed us
at the Royal Highland Show which allowed us to create
individual profiles to display on the stand.
The whole event was extremely enjoyable, and I
personally felt that we worked well as a group and created
our own unique stamp on the event and advertised the
breed well. We attended the social evening and mixed with
members from other teams and breeds and have made
long lasting friendships from all parts of the country.

JUDGE:
IAIN GREEN
It was a privilege and honour to be invited
to judge the Royal Ulster show. Firstly
I would like to thank all the stockmen
and stockwomen who put forward their
show of Simmental cattle for me to judge. I
know how much work and effort it takes to
bring out all the cattle, although numbers
forward were low, the cattle were of a high
standard. Well done to everyone who took
part. The weather was dry and warm and
on reflection it was our summer during that
few days I visited.
The first class was won by Slievenagh
Flirt, a long cow with good breed character
in working clothes making a good job of
rearing her heifer calf, which later went on
to become best cow with calf at foot. The
second class was won by a well fleshed
heifer Cleenagh Gem. The next class of
heifers was won by Lisglass Goddess who
certainly was living up to her name. This
outstanding young heifer caught my eye as
soon as she entered the ring and later went
on to be my Female Champion and Overall
Champion.
The last class of young heifers was won
by a smart red heifer Ranfurly Weikel 18th
who later became my Reserve Female
Champion and Reserve Junior Champion.
The Male Championship was awarded to
Ashland Humdinger, a light-coloured bull
with great flesh and locomotion who also
won Junior Champion and Reserve Overall
Champion.
It was a very satisfying achievement for
the breed and breeders to win the second
Reserve Overall Junior Beef Interbreed
Champion with this young bull.

STERLING CELIA’S FIFI - Supreme Champion & Female Champion, 1st place Cow or Heifer, born in 2014, in milk with

JUDGE:
PETER BURGESS
A
huge thank you to the Royal Three
Counties Show for inviting me to
judge this year’s National Show. Thank
you also to all the exhibitors for making the
time and effort to showcase our breed and
a special mention to the stewards for their
wonderful help on what turned out to be an
extremely hot day.
On to the cattle and the first class of
heifers. First place went to Boars Head Nelly,
a very nice dark coloured heifer followed
closely in second place by the pale coloured
Storersmith Holly. Third place went to Little
Orchard Rhapsody 15th.
The second class contained some real
quality. The first placed heifer, Sterling
Bacardi’s Hawaii really graced the ring, well
balanced, good locomotion - one to watch for
the future. She went on to be Junior Female
Champion and Reserve Female Champion. In
second place another classy heifer, Sterling
Barcardi’s Hope, again very well put together,
good locomotion but not quite the power
or presence of her stable mate. Third place
was Mount Heidi, another very good heifer.
David Donnelly could probably consider
himself unfortunate to come up against such
a strong pair from Boddington Estates.

LYNFIELD HAMISH 16 - Reserve Supreme Champion, Male Champion & Junior Male Champion, 1st place
Bull, born on or between 01.01.16 and 31.03.16 at the English National Show, Royal Three Counties
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
Third class. This was lead by a well grown dark heifer
Swallowhill Gigi, a very good top line and locomotion
she went on to be Reserve Junior Heifer. In second place
another good heifer, Sterling Verity’s Girl. Third place was
Little Orchard Stella 8G, unfortunately a bit over powered
on the day.
Fourth class. Only two forward and a second class
winner for Rhys Grenham, this time with a solid coloured
pale heifer, Boars Head Karina 6th. Second was Sterling
Cairo’s Got It All.
Final Heifer class. First in this class was an outstanding
heifer, Wroxall Glinko-Zilla, good top and bottom lines,
sound legs and locomotion, this stylish heifer went on to
be Senior Heifer Champion. Second was another quality
heifer Sterling Bacardi’s Gi Gi who went onto be Reserve
Senior Heifer Champion.
Next came cow or heifer born in 2014, only one entry,
Sterling Celia’s Fifi, a fabulous heifer with calf. Very well
balanced, evenly fleshed, this very good example of the
breed progressed to be Female Champion and then on to
be Supreme Champion.
Second cow class and the most difficult of the show to
judge. Leading the class was a cow, not reared a calf but
very heavily in-calf, Beanhill Ellie. Despite not having a calf
at foot this big cow, in top condition as you would expect,
thoroughly deserved her placing with the way she moved
round the ring. Second place went to Fircovert Edwina,
another big cow that unlike the first placed cow, failed to
show herself off as she went round the ring. Third place
went to Hemingford Ellgia, a cow overpowered on the day
but with a very good bull calf at foot.
Senior Cow class and three good animals. Swallowhill
Bluebelle led the way, a very upstanding cow with real ring
presence, good locomotion, top line and a nice calf at foot.
Second came Beanhill Butter , another well fleshed cow,
this time with a strong bull calf at foot. Third place was
Fircovert Cecilia, again a very good cow but unfortunately
not showing herself off particularly well on the day.
Onto the boys. First the young bull class which was
won by Storersmith Highwayman, a well-balanced shapey
bull. Second came Ravensdale Hurricane, another evenly
fleshed bull and third was Sterling Hugo.
Some very good young bulls in the second Junior
class. This class was won by Lynfield Hamish, great width
throughout, a leg on each corner and showing good breed
character, this bull went on to be Junior Male Champion,
Male Champion and Reserve Supreme Champion. In
second place a very good bull Ravensdale Harrier. Well
balanced, well fleshed and a good mover, this bull went
on to be Reserve Junior Male and Reserve Male Champion.
Thirdly came Sterling Haymaker, a stretchy bull but lacking
the flesh of the first two bulls.
Bull born in 2015 next with only two entries, both well
fleshed bulls but locomotion was faulty in both. First came
Storersmith Ghost Rider with Fircovert Gladiator second.
Only one Senior Bull, Ranfurly Formula 1 which would
have stood up well to some competition.
A good show of pairs was won by two wonderful heifers
shown by Boddington Estates.
Again thankyou to everyone involved in making the
show smooth running and enjoyable on such a scorching
day.

HIGHLAND
JUDGE:
MICHAEL BARLOW
It was a great honour to judge such a
prestigious event; I would like to thank
the Royal Highland Agricultural Society
for giving me this once in a lifetime
opportunity.
I would also like to thank the stewards
for making the day relaxed and enjoyable.
A big thank you must go to the exhibitors
for presenting me with a high quality and
impressive show of Simmental Cattle.
The day kicked off with the Junior
Heifers in a large class. Winning the class
was Blackford Honey, one of the younger
heifers in the class. She came into the ring
naturally done with both quality and style
and with great locomotion.
2nd prize went to Corskie Highness, a
bigger heifer than the one in 1st place, but
she lacked the style my 1st place had. It
was difficult to split 2nd and 3rd, but 2nd
place had more quality over plates and tail
head than 3rd place.
The second class was Junior Females
born from January to March. This was
the strongest female class with either
1st or 2nd winning the class. I went for
Sterling Barcardi’s Hope as my winner, I
thought she had a great top on her with
more natural width than my 2nd place
heifer, which was her stable mate Sterling
Bacardi’s Hawaii who was a different type
for me; she struggled to compete with 1st
place with leg structure. 3rd place was a
smart well put together heifer from the

with the power and style of the 1st and 2nd
heifers in the class.
The third Heifer class of the day which
was the split age heifer from the 1st of July
to the 31st December 2015. There were
six heifers forward for this class. My 1st
prize heifer was Kennox Tara’s Gem. An
outstanding heifer with quality in every part
for a female. She oozed ring presence. This
heifer went on to be my Overall Champion.
As soon as I saw her I knew then that the
older females would need to be on a par
with her to beat her. 2nd place went to
Pitmudie Gladys, a different type to my 1st
prize, a well put together heifer although
may be just over done a touch, I didn’t like
her brisket being as full for a female. My
3rd prize was from Corskie, she lacked
power to my 1st and 2nd heifers.
The fourth class was the Two Year Old
Heifer class. An easy winner of this class
was Sterling Bacardi’s Gigi. A big powerful
red heifer with a tremendous top and hind
quarter for a heifer. 2nd place went to
Mavsey Golden Pride who was a correct
heifer, she just lacked the power of my 1st
place. My 3rd prize went to Corskie Geenna.
The fifth class of the day was the Three
Year Old with Calf at Foot. Winning the
class was Drumsleed Farina, a young fresh
cow with plenty of power, 2nd prize went to
Sterling Celia’s Fifi who had a tremendous
heifer calf, she just lacked power and
weight, if she had stood with 60-80kg more
she would have won the class. 3rd prize
went to Newbiemains Flo, she just lacked
style to my 1st and 2nd heifers but she was
a good outfit.
The sixth class was the Intermediate Cow
Class which only consisted of one entry. An
in-calf cow Coxhill Emerald, which was a
correct cow but lacked the power to go any
further in the day.
The seventh class which was the Senior
Cow class had four entries forward. My 1st
prize was Popes Princess Cleo. She was
an easy winner of this class, with plenty of
flesh and ring presence. 2nd prize went to
Skerrington Rhona 32nd she had a good
young bull calf at foot, but lacked the
power from the 1st prize. 3rd prize went to
Corskie China; she just lacked the power
from my 1st and 2nd two animals.
The 8th class was the first Bull class of
the day. It was won by Corskie Harbro,
who was a big growthy bull showing lots
of potential. 2nd place went to Drumsleed

Harvester who lacked style and 3rd place
went to Newbiemains Holysmokes.
The 9th class which was Second Class
Winner of Junior Bulls went to Drumsleed
Horatio, a deep red bull with a good end.
2nd prize went to Pitmudie Hunter a
similar type of bull to my first prize; he just
didn’t have the presence of length of my
1st prize. 3rd place went to Popes Hector,
a good commercial bull for the future.
Class 10 was the Two Year Old Bull
class which had four entries. Blackford
Galaxy won this class, he also won Male
Champion and Reserve Overall Champion
and later in show he won the Marks and
Spencer Beef Breeder competition. This
is one of the best bulls I have ever seen
in the breed he had it all, head, power,
back natural width and with natural flesh
and great locomotion. This a bull that will
make an impact on the breed in the next
10 years, 2nd prize went to Keeldrum
Gambler, a good modern bull who just
lacked the presence of my 1st bull. 3rd
prize went to Corskie Gambler, who
actually went on to be Junior Male. He was
just in a bad class for his age; he couldn’t
compete for power and finish.
The eleventh class of the day was the
Senior Bull class which had two entries
forward, this was an easy class. My 1st
prize went to Curaheen Drifter, a big dark
red bull who carried his flesh well with
a good end and a good locomotion for
the size of him. 2nd prize went to Popes
Fearless, a yellow bull who had the size of
a senior bull but just lacked natural width
and leg structure.
Female Championship – This was an
easy decision - Kennox Tara’s Gem, she
had ring presence and quality over my
Reserve Female Popes Princess Cleo.
Male Championship – Two stock bulls
which were a good advert for the breed
having them both in the ring at the same
time. Blackford Galaxy just had that bit
more natural width and quality to him
than my Reserve Curaheen Drifter.
Overall Championship – This was the
hardest decision I have ever had to make
in a judging ring, both animals are a
credit to the breed and will go on to more
success in the future. It was particularly
pleasing for me that I had two new faces
and both very young for the position they
were standing, right or wrong, I decided
with the breed used for it’s maternal
strength I would go for the Female
Champion Kennox Tara’s Gem.

JUDGE’S REPORT BY:
MICHAEL ROBSON
POPES PRINCESS CLEO - Supreme Champion, Female Champion, Best Cow with calf at foot and
1st Place Cow, in calf or with calf at foot, born on or before 31.12.12 at the Royal Welsh Show
Royal WELSH
Show
JUDGE:
MICHAEL ROBSON
This was my first visit to the Royal
Welsh Show and it is a wonderful
sight with a huge variety of livestock
particularly breeds native to Wales. I was
very honoured to be asked to judge and
was not disappointed by the quality of
stock in front of me.
Bull born before 31/12/15
This class was won by Popes Fearless, a
big correct bull who had a bit of presence,
power and walked out well. Second prize
went to Storersmith Ghostrider, who
although well fleshed lacked the scale and
power of the first bull.
Bull born between 01/01/16 and 31/03/16
This class was very close between
first and second with Williams Hogwarts
just edging Popes Hector into second.
Two very good young bulls with a lot of
potential.
Bull born after 01/04/16
A bigger class of bulls, the winner,
Storersmith Highwayman was placed first
because of his size and fleshing. In second
was his half-brother Storersmith Heart-
Throb who walked out very well and again
had more size and power than the bulls in
third and fourth.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
Senior Cow
This class was won by the tremendous
cow Popes Princess Cleo who was not only
big but had quality as well. I later placed
her Breed Champion and she then went
on to be Interbreed Champion. Second to
her was another really nice cow, Hirwaun
Alice who probably has the potential to win
shows as she has very natural fleshing and
width, and can walk out well.
POPES RHONA – Reserve Female Champion and 1st Place
Heifer, born on or after 01.01.16 at the Royal Welsh Show
Junior Cow
There was only one in this class, but she
is a nice feminine cow so Sterling Celia’s Fifi
was placed first.
Senior Heifer
This class was won by Sterling Bacardi’s
Gigi, a very stylish heifer with great length.
Second place went to Crackley Lidi 11G.
Junior Heifer
This was one of the best classes with
two very good heifers at the top with Popes
Rhona winning over Sterling Barcardi’s
Hope as she had a little more width. If there
had been a junior championship I probably
would have made them champion and
reserve. They both have a lot of potential.
The third and fourth heifers were also good
examples of the breed.
Group of Four
I gave first prize in this to a well-matched
team of young bulls from Storersmith,
Williams and Banwy. The second placed
team was very strong but not as evenly
balanced.
POPES HECTOR 16 – Reserve Junior Male Champion and 2nd Place Bull, born
on or between 01.01.16 and 31.03.16 at the Royal Welsh Show
Best Pair
I awarded this to Popes for their
strong senior pair with second going to
Storersmith’s two young bulls.
Championships
I was very happy with my line up in the
championships and I thought they were
a credit to the breed. I awarded the Male
Championship to Popes Fearless with
Williams Hogwarts in reserve with Fearless
going on to be Reserve Overall.
I had no hesitation in making Popes
Princess Cleo Female and Supreme
Champion as she had great presence and
with a good calf alongside her dominated
the Show ring. My reserve out of a line of
good female first prize winners was the
junior heifer Popes Rhona who I think we
will see a lot of in the future.
STERLING CELIA’S FIFI - Reserve Cow with Calf at Foot and 1st Place Cow, in
calf or with calf at foot born on or after 01.01.13 at the Royal Welsh Show
It was very pleasing to see my choice of Supreme Champion and pairs
winners going on to do so well in the interbreed competitions.
Finally, I would like to thank the Royal Welsh Show for inviting me,
the Welsh club and the exhibitors for making my wife, Mairead, and I so
welcome and it may have been our first trip to the show, but it won’t be
our last.

JUDGE:
ROBERT
MACGREGOR
It was a great privilege to be asked at
short notice to stand in and judge the
Scottish National Show in Perth by Hector
Macaskill, who unfortunately was not able
to carry out the task on the day. I was
deeply honoured to be asked personally
by Hector, who is regarded as one of most
knowledgeable breeders and cattlemen
in our breed, with the Woodhall herd
renowned throughout the British Isles.
Those in attendance on the first
Saturday in August witnessed one of the
best shows of cattle to be put forward at
this prestigious event. What started as a
glorious morning unfortunately turned
very wet ahead of the Interbreed judging
and although some of the exhibitors got
drookit, it was a great day for the breed,
winning all before them: Junior Bull, Pairs,
Overall Beef and Champion of Champions.
Appreciation is due to all the stockmen
and women for turning out a great show
of cattle. I know that a lot of hard work,
time and effort goes into showing cattle.
It is also right to give a special mention to
Tom Henderson for all his effort over the
last 10 years and raising sponsorship and
organising the National Show in Scotland.
It was also nice to see the Smiths from
Drumsleed honoured for attending all ten
National Shows.
I judged the cattle by looking for
animals that I would take home to use and
complement my own herd but there were
hard decisions to make in a number of
classes, which contained different types of

animal. Something I have
mentioned before in these
reports and was apparent
again was that some of the
young heifers were a bit
over fit for my liking.
I’ll take this opportunity
before going into more
detail to pay special
mention to the cow class.
This was a quite outstanding
show of cows, even down
to the two standing at the
bottom of the line without a
calf at foot.
We are known as the maternal breed and I feel we
should be showing our cattle off to our best advantage.
The senior bull class had two entries, both from the
Merkland herd. I placed Gee first as he had a bit more
length and width over his stablemate, Guilty.
The next bull class was won by Islavale Hogan, who went
on to be Male Champion, Reserve Overall Breed Champion,
Interbreed Junior Bull and part of the Interbreed Pairs. This
young bull was full of breed character, had great length
and good muscle quality throughout. The April to June
bull class was won by another from Islavale herd, this time
Huntly, a dark red bull who went on to join his stablemate
in winning the breed and Interbreed Pairs. A quite
outstanding pair of bulls together. The yearling bull class
was led by Mavsey Hurricane, a very smart calf that moved
well, had good length and was well grown for his age.
SKERRINGTON RHONA 32ND - Reserve Female Champion, Reserve Senior
Female Champion and 1st place Female, born before 31.07.14 at the Scottish
National Show
The cow class, as I’ve
already touched upon,
was quite outstanding and
lead by Skerrington Rhona
32nd, with a superb calf
at foot. She wasn’t the
biggest cow in the class but
moved extremely well and
was an animal I would be
very proud to have in my
herd. She went on to be my
Reserve Female Champion.
The class for heifers born
April to December 2015
was won, as it turned out, by the outstanding animal at
the show in Kennox Tara’s Gem. Not only my champion
but also Interbreed Beef Champion and Champion of
Champions. She was full of breed character from every
angle, had a very feminine head, tremendous length and
great locomotion. In the class for females born in the first
six months of 2016, my leader was Corskie Harp, a heifer
with great female lines, nicely fleshed for her age and
who moved very well. The class for females born July to
December 2016 was won by Blackford Hyalite, a heifer
who paraded very well, had length and size for her age and
plenty of breed character.
I’ll finish this report on what is in my opinion the most
exciting class to judge and that is a calf born in 2017. These
are the animals you’re most likely to see again. I looked for
the calf that I thought had the brightest future and went
for Garmouth Iceman. Prove me right please, Laura Green!

JUDGE’S REPORT BY:
CRAIG HOLLINGSWORTH
HIRWAUN ALICE - Supreme Champion, Female Champion, Best Animal Bred by
Exhibitor & 1st place Cow, any age, in calf or with calf at foot at the Welsh National Show
WELSH
NATIONAL
Show
JUDGE:
CRAIG
HOLLINGSWORTH
It was a great pleasure to be invited to
judge the 7th Welsh National Show,
held at an excellent showground in
Pembrokeshire.
I would like to thank the stewards,
breeders and stockpersons for putting on
such a great show – although numbers
were low, the quality was very high.
The first class was disappointing with no
senior bulls forward.
The second class was won by Banwy
Heartbreaker, a bull showing great style
and movement, as well as being well
fleshed with great breed character. In
second was Gwili Horace, a well-grown bull
but looked harder fleshing than my first.
Third went to Cwarre High Hopes, a good
all-round bull but giving a lot of size away
to the previous two.
Class 3 was the bull calf class, the first
rosette went to Crugmelyn Ilkybar Kid - an
easy winner with great muscling which
should grow on to make a fine stock bull.
Second was Dyfed Icon which lacked the
muscling of the first calf.
Class 4 was the cow and calf class

and when Hirwaun Alice walked into the
ring, she immediately caught my eye.
Though not the biggest of cows, she had
great width throughout and good in the
hindquarters, as well as a stylish calf at
foot. Second went to Crugmelyn Caramac,
a nice cow doing a great job of its calf.
Third went to Dyfed Angharad which just
lacked the conformation of the previous
two cows.
The fifth class was the most difficult
class of the day, two very good heifers but
both had very different qualities. In the
end, I picked out Crackley Lidi, a well-grown
heifer with good depth throughout and
great depth of the thigh. She should go on
to make a nice cow. Second went to Gwili
Gwenan, a powerful heifer but did not
show itself as good as I would have liked.
Class 6 had only one entry – Cwarre
Cinderella’s Haze, a really sweet heifer
which showed herself well.
Class 7 was the heifer calf class, first
went to Hirwaun Holly, a stylish calf with
good conformation, one to watch for
the future. Second was Cwarre Rosie’s
Hyacinth, a bigger heifer in size but lacked
the quality of the first.
My Champion on the day had to go
to the senior cow Hirwaun Alice, a good
working mum doing what a good cow
should be doing, producing a quality calf.
Reserve went to the junior bull, Banwy
Heartbreaker, who also went on to win the
Reserve Junior Inter-breed Championship.
It was nice to hear that my Champion
went on to win the Inter-breed
Championship the next day and the
Group of 5 also won their Inter-breed,
doing the Simmental breed proud. A great
achievement.
Massive thanks to Pembrokeshire
County Show and the Welsh club for their
kind hospitality and a memorable visit.

ONE OF OUR
Club’s Chairmen
CRAIG HOLLINGSWORTH
My grandad bought our farm in 1945. He was a
butcher and a slaughterman and would buy cattle
from markets in and around Yorkshire to sell in
his butchers’ shops. I have many fond memories of going
to the markets with him from a young age. Dad bought
our first Simmental bull, Sterling Manhattan, in 1984 to put
on our Friesian milk cows and was that impressed with his
calves, that we bought our first pedigree cows in 1987. I
bought my own first heifer in 1989 from the Sacombe herd,
at a premier breeder’s sale.
My main interests growing up was playing rugby from
the age of 13 until I was 38. I had the chance of playing for
some of the bigger clubs in Yorkshire, after I represented
my county but chose to stay loyal to my local club, which I
captained. I also won player of the year a few times. With
my local club, we were promoted on a few occasions and
won the Yorkshire bowl, and South Yorkshire cup, a proud
achievement for a small club.
Since retiring from rugby, my main focuses are on the
farm and family.

ONE OF OUR
Club Secretaries
SIMMENTAL REVIEW 2017
DAWN SHAPLAND
Born near Gloucester in 1958, I was nine when my family moved to
North Devon. My parents were tenant farmers on a large National
Trust Estate and with the Landlord’s permission, I was allowed to go
wherever I wished. Hence an idyllic childhood, the freedom to explore,
build dens in the woods, fish and swim in the river and thousands of acres
where I could ride.
I married Steve in 1984 and we live at Brynsworthy on the outskirts of
Barnstaple. The farm has been in his family since the 1800s and consists of
66 acres of grazing and 10 of woods. We own a further 45 acres and rent
other ground nearby.
The Suckler Herd has for many years consisted of approximately
40 Cows and their followers. Impressed by the offspring of “Percy”
(Atherstone Persuader), a few pedigree females were purchased and in
2010 we joined the Society. Shortly after this we met Len and Adrian Curry
at the North Devon Show and they invited us to a forthcoming herd visit.
Having been made so wonderfully welcome, becoming members of the
South West Club was inevitable. I became the Secretary just three years
ago. Bulls purchased from Dinton and Killiworgie have greatly improved
the quality of our herd and I’m looking forward to showing cattle with the
Brynsworthy Prefix.
Finally, to all those kind, generous, entertaining, lovely people that have
become my “Simmental” friends over these past seven years, thank you.

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.

FEMALE BREED RECORD SMASHED TWICE
AT THE BODDINGTONS DISPERSAL
24th October 2017 The Sterling herd which had been in existence since 1979
was dispersed at Stirling, the Society and breed in general are indebted to
the amount of PR we gained due to the effort time and money invested by
the Sterling Herd in showcasing the breed for many years. It was therefore
entirely fitting that the sale TWICE BROKE THE FEMALE BREED RECORD.
On behalf of the Society, thank you very much!
13 Cows and calves averaged at £5605, 25 in-calf heifers averaged at
£2375, 14 in calf heifers averaged at £3135, 17 maiden heifers averaged
