Herd Competition 2018

The competition was open to all fully paid up members residing within the Border British Blue Club area. The herds were split into two categories (small and large herds). Large herd was a herd that registers more than 5 calves a year and small herd is a herd that registers less than 5 calves a year into the British Blue herd book.

The Judge Rab Paterson (Auchenlay Herd) had the very difficult task of judging the event. The small herd was won by Greg Jackson (Woodend). The winner of the large herd went to Kevin Watret (Solway View). The Solway View herd went on to win the Overall Herd Competition.

The prize giving took place at The Shepherds Inn on Thursday 4^th October 2018.

The Border Club would like to thank everyone who helped make the Herd Competition a great success.
