The sun shone on the British White breed classes at the Royal Norfolk Show near Norwich on 29th June, as exhibitors took to the ring for another competitive day’s showing. On this occasion it was the five-year-old breeding cow Tollesbury Peach with her third calf at foot, owned and bred by Vivien St Joseph, Essex, who rose to the top and was selected by judge Brian Palmer as his Breed Champion exhibit.
Standing in reserve was the two-year-old winner of the senior bull class and the Male Championship, Alcroft Gunslinger from Sarah Cook, Cambridgeshire. Woodbastwick Babycham from Rotac Farms, Norfolk, triumphed in a strong junior heifer class and was also awarded the Junior and Reserve Female Championships, along with the prize for best animal bred in the county of Norfolk.
Reserve Champion in the male section was Fromus Mac, owned by Philip Baskett, Suffolk, and bred by the Suffolk Flora Preservation Trust.
