Taking
cattle to shows is all about competition, and everyone wants to win!! That really goes without saying, however
despite this, we have experienced the greatest friendliness and helpfulness
from our competitors, and we become a family.
We have travelled overseas to many countries and found new friends with
Highland Cattle at the centre of the meeting.
Some very treasured friendships have come from showing our cattle –
friendships and memories that will last life-long.
Since
2007 we have been attending A & P Shows and competing against other
Highland cattle and All Breeds. Shows we
have attended include Whangarei, Warkworth, Helensville, Kumeu, Franklin,
Auckland Easter Show, Clevedon, Morrinsville, Stratford and the New Zealand
Highland Cattle Society North Island Show.
For us, the pinnacle is the North Island Society Show.
Over
the years we have won many ribbons, including a number of Supreme Champion
ribbons, and Champion Female and Champion Male ribbons. We are very proud of these, especially as
there is often very strong competition. Of
particular note, we have won the Champion Bull at the NZHCS Winter Show over
the past four Shows, all with different bulls.
As we breed Fullblood bulls for sale, this is a wonderful testament to their
quality.
Over the past two seasons we have been restricted in the shows we have attended due to various circumstances, however we are particularly delighted with our latest outing.
