About 30 members and guests spent a very enjoyable and informative day at Sid Hollier’s Brookway Farm near Dorchester on a bright but blustery day on 30 April to learn about showing techniques and have a go at showing cattle in an atmosphere that was hopefully slight more relaxed than the show ring! Our master judge for the day was well known Devon and Charolais breeder Mike Yeandle. He, alongside panel judge Steve Gray talked about the judge’s perspective on cattle showing and gave plenty of hints and tips on how to get the best from your cattle in the showring. Steve gave a clipping and trim- ming demonstration and then let people loose with the clippers to see how well they could produce an animal for the show ring. There were some very impressive results! After a lovely roast lunch we were back on the farm in the afternoon to have a go at a simulated show class which really gave people the opportunity to understand how a showing class works and what you need to do to catch the judge’s eye.
The day was a great success and huge thanks go to Sid and Anne who made us all very welcome and had put in such a lot of hard work to prepare for the workshop. Thanks also go to Mike and Steve - quite a double act! - and to the members and friends to came along for the day. Issue 72 Longhorn Newsletter Page 3 BULL SELECTION WORKSHOP 28 MAY 2011
The Bull Selection Workshop for 2011 was held at David and Angela Blockley’s Southfield Farm, Drighlington, Bradford on another blustery day! The Blockleys had prepared four Junior and two Senior bulls ready for members and after introductions everyone got the little grey cells working by having a go at placing the Junior bulls in order of merit. The bulls were judged tied up and then walked around the yard (which resulted in a lot of minds being changed!) before final placings were decided upon. A couple of members were asked to place the animals and give their reasons before our master judge for the day, Mr Stephen Priestley, put the animals in his order. Needless to say there were one or two who didn’t agree with the placings! There were general discussions on young bull purchase and management as well as infor- mation on selecting senior bulls as replacement stock bulls.
The day ended with a trip round the rest of the Southfield herd.
The Blockleys very kindly provided us with wonderful hospitality and the day was a great success.
Page 4 Longhorn Newsletter Issue 72 VISIT TO CORNWALL 30 SEPTEMBER - 2 OCTOBER 2011
Continuing the Society’s desire to ensure all our members are in- cluded in Society activities we are planning a trip to the West of Corn- wall in the Autumn. We have a small but dedicated band of members in Cornwall who would love to see us!
The trip will be around the St Ives and Penzance area and will feature Longhorns (of course) as well as interesting local attractions.
Let me know if you are interested .
SOCIETY AGM 4 - 6 NOVEMBER 2011
The Society AGM will be held in North Yorkshire this year, with our hosts being Alex Smith of the Overdale herd and John Harrison of the Settrington herd. We will be staying at the Hackness Grange Hotel near Scarborough - a lovely country house Hotel that we will probably fill so we’ll have exclusive use.
Booking forms will be in the next newsletter, but put the dates in your diary now!
Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!
The Society has recently set up a Twitter account: (www.twitter.com/longhornoffice ). A number of Longhorn members already use Twitter and Facebook to promote themselves and their products using social media, including Meridian Meats, Christmas Hill Farm Shop and Offley Hoo Farms. It is an increasingly popular and cost effective method of communication. If you are also on Twitter then please follow the Society for up to date information and day-to-day goings on, or if you are on Facebook then ‘like us’ at www.facebook/longhorncattlesociety.com.

WORCESTER LONGHORNS AT 1,850GNS
The Longhorn Cattle Society’s spring Show and Sale at Worcester again held its own with plenty of buying support from new and established breeders although quality was at the very top of everyone’s shopping list!
Top call of the day went to Bernard Llewellyn’s first prize bull Carreg Herby a Bulford Freddy son that had won a host of prizes including Breed Champion, Shropshire & West Midlands and Re- serve Breed Champion, Pembroke 2009, he was secured at 1,850gns by G. Townend, Tewkes- bury, Glos. Other bulls in demand included John & Joshua Brigg’s Gorse Quantum a 3rd prize winner on the day reaching 1,700gns to R Jones, Penrhos, Raglan, Monmouth.
Females were a selective trade but as always no shortage of competitive bidding for quality animals. This fact was underlined when Charnwood Jewel a maiden heifer from John Warner’s Leicestershire based herd having won Overall Champion reached 1,500gns to M. Lawrence, Basingstoke, Hampshire. Another maiden heifer from Charnwood having taken 2 nd and Reserve overall champion to her half sister sold at 1,000gns to B. Facon, Banbury, Oxon.
A long trip from Berwick on Tweed for Peter Close was well rewarded when four maiden heifers from his noted Fishwick herd sold to a brisk demand at 1,250gns, 980gns, 700gns (x2), all being secured to go to a new herd being established at Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire for Mr M.A. Lomas.
Cows and calves were well followed peaking at 1,350gns for Frog Lane Ileana and her heifer calf bred by C. Martin and sold by Mike Shearstone, Tanfield to GVP Ltd, Tetbury, Glos. In calf cows reached a top of 1,150gns for a first prize winner Carreg Divine from Bernard Llewellyn’s Llandeilo based herd, she was full sister to Carreg Cennen sold for a Breed Record at 8,400gns, and was taken by M. Wheeler as a foundation cow for his new herd at Kings Stanley, Glouces- ter.
