What a fantastic Royal Three Counties Show it was for the Hereford Breed, winning three and reserve in the other of the four Major Inter-breed Competitions.
The Hereford Breed was awarded the Best Native Inter-breed Pair, before competing with the Continentals, to take the Overall Best Pair Inter-breed Championship. The young Hereford pair, selected by Breed Judge Melissa Roberts, was made up of the Supreme & Grand Male Champion, Nicholashayne 1 Kingkong from K Prettejohn & A Kerslake, Wellington, Somerset and the Reserve Supreme & Grand Female Champion Coley 1 Bonnie from Miss H Whittaker, Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Fourteen-month-old Nicholashayne 1 Kingkong then went on to compete in the Individual Inter-breed Championships, finishing First in the Native Inter-breed and Reserve in the Overall Inter-breed Championships. These successes were all the more commendable given the number of beef breed entries, with some Breeds holding their National Shows at this year’s event.
