Carolyn Fletcher of Barwise Herefords, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria has been elected as president of the Hereford Cattle Society at the society’s November council meeting.

A member since 2002, Carolyn is famed for her quality of cattle, having won the UK sire of the year trophy on two separate occasions. Due to the pandemic, she has just completed her second year as society vice-president.

She said: “I look forward to taking on my role as president and becoming integral to the running of the society.”

David Smyth of Magheraknock Herefords, Ballynahinch, Co Down was elected as vice-president.
