Champion Calf of Show - D Townend - Clifftown Wasn't Me

The North East British Blue Club held its 2026 Calf Show at York Auction Centre on Sunday 11 October. The event attracted an excellent entry of pedigree and crossbred cattle, alongside strong competition in the junior and senior young handler classes.
