It was a doubly successful day for Warwickshire-based breeders James Brain and Libby McGinn, as homebred animals from their Lordswood herd were awarded both the Breed Championship and Reserve at Shropshire County Show on Saturday 23 May. In the top spot under judge Mrs Angie Hamilton, Carmarthenshire, was the March 2024-born heifer Lordswood Maggie, with her full brother Lordswood Maxwell - born March 2025 - standing in reserve. Both animals are sired by Elgany Just In Time, and out of Woodbastwick Lacoste.
The Reserve Male Championship went to new breeder Jan Walton, Cheshire, on her Castrum herd’s debut show outing with young homebred bull Castrum Augustus, born in January 2025 and sired by Castleton Alfred.
The Reserve Female Championship was awarded to the March 2025-born maiden heifer Alcroft Grace from Miss S Cook, Cambridgeshire, whose two junior heifers - Alcroft Grace and Alcroft Gala, both sired by Castleton Stanley EX90 - went on to win the pairs class, following that up with being crowned the Best Rare & Minority Interbreed Pair.
Congratulations to all of the exhibitors on an excellent show of cattle, and particular thanks go to the Lordswood herd for representing the breed at both Shropshire County Show and the Great British Farm Fest at Stoneleigh Park across the same weekend.
