Solway View Elegance is ASDA Beef Interbreed Reserve Champion

Champion and Reserve Interbreed Champion, Solway View Elegance

Kevin Watret’s British Blue cow, Solway View Elegance, was placed Reserve Interbreed at the Great Yorkshire Show: Shown with her naturally born heifer calf at foot – Solway View Infinity, she stood a very near second to the Limousin heifer, Foxhillfarm Gracie.

Commenting on his Reserve champion, judge, Arwel Owen said: “It’s great to see a Blue of this quality and correctness in an interbreed line up. It was a close call between her and the Limousin heifer as this really is a great outfit.”
