RBST Caledonia Support Group will be there and so will SCBA. There's an SCBA committee meeting on Saturday and we'll be discussing it there along with a million other things. :thumbsup:

We're not having cattle showing this year but might in future years if there is a demand. I'm sure SCBA will take you up on the offer of a display animal. Barry is firmly of the opinion, and I agree with him, that the best way to promote the breed is to get them out where folk can see them. I was kind of hoping you might offer  ;D

I won't be able to take mine - I'll have enough to do  ::)

Kirriemuir Show has an "Other native breed" cattle class - maybe Angus Show too.
