We are going to the tiree show on fri 20th so 1 week to go how did you get on at Kirriemuir show this weekend
Breeze won her class, George won his, Breeze was "other native breed champion" and George was reserve. We didn't place in the interbreed. Both behaved impeccably. Lots and lots of interest in the Shetland breed, photos taken for the Scottish Farmer and The Courier, which is what we wanted.
Now I have to tell the truth - we were the only two cattle in the "Other Native Breed" classes, but you can only compete against the others there on the day.
Everyone was brillinant - the stewards, the judges, the other exhibitors (especially Alun and Angela Garton and Ginny Stacey-Marks who have Highlands and were so reassuring and encouraging, the lovely Mr Lascelles with his enormous AA bull that Breeze took a shine to and the equally lovely man who had the Champion Charolais who came past twice to see Breeze and said he "just loves this wee coo").
