Carpenters Curly 2nd was much admired at the recent Royal Three Counties Show coming home with Breed Champion having won her senior cow class. This is our local show being only a few miles from home so was extra special to do well amongst friends.
Carpenters yearling bull 'Ledbury' was Junior Traditional Hereford champion, winning the John Featherstone Perpetual Trophy for the best Traditional Hereford yearling, with heifer Carpenters Curly 8th reserve. Ledbury went on to win Reserve Breed Champion, and Curly reserve female champion, so a good day!
