Title: Shetland cattle at the Royal Highland Show
Post by: Rosemary on June 06, 2013, 09:09:32 pm

For anyone interested in Shetland cattle, our 2012 heifer, Rosedean Santa Ana (Annie) will be on the RBST stand at the Royal Highland Show.

I won't be there but Dan will be on the stand at least one day and Ruth Dalton, RBST Field Officer will be there Thursday and Friday and she also has Shetland cattle.

Great, it's good to get the breed noticed.

We're taking one of our cows & her calf to the local gala - not quite in the same league, but at least it's an introduction to a rare breed for the visitors.

Hope Annie has fun.

Lovely, think we're going on the Friday so will look out for that.  Hope she behaves  :D
 
Two of our North Ronaldsays are being shown at the RBST stand in Kelso at the Border Union Show this year with their fleeces beside them (before and after style).  But as not many of you will be at that I'll post a photo  :D

Used to love going to the Highland show and seeing all the animals looking very clean and pampered. Not been for a few years now. Hope you get good weather.
