Learning, Laughter and Livestock: A UKHY Weekend to Remember

Learning, Laughter and Livestock: A UKHY Weekend to Remember

The day began full of promise as the sun rose over Place Barton Farm, home of Gerald and Amelia Wood, Ben, Jess and little Rex, proud owners of the Allwood Herefords herd. The cattle were ready for pampering and preparations were complete to welcome 27 young Hereford enthusiasts from across the country.

On arrival, boots were dipped, tea was poured and cake was enjoyed, and there was plenty of it!  At 10:30am the first workshops began, with attendees split into their groups.

The eight juniors kicked off the long-awaited rematch of the team challenge: girls versus boys. Each team was presented with a heifer and tasked with washing, drying and preparing the animal for the show ring. Judge Glen Pritchard was on hand to support, observe teamwork and assess their final presentation. The teams were then challenged to wash the heifers again, ensuring no products remained on the animals, a task that looked great fun, with water and talc flying everywhere.

The six seniors spent their morning with local vet Ben, discussing herd health planning, disease management and biosecurity. This highly interactive session encouraged discussion, with participants and vet challenging each other’s thinking. They then moved on to stock judging two classes of young bulls. Gayle Bersey from Liskeard encouraged them to consider the differences between commercial and pedigree traits, focusing on legs, feet and overall structural balance. It was a thought-provoking and engaging morning.

Meanwhile, 14 ‘Newbies’ learned clipping and grooming skills for the show ring. UKHY members and USA team representatives Will Awan and Ethan Brook led these sessions, with Will focusing on grooming and Ethan on clipping. Due to numbers, the group split to ensure everyone gained hands-on experience.

A delicious hog roast lunch, prepared by host Ben using locally produced pork, gave everyone time to relax, network and recharge. During lunch, attendees enjoyed a light-hearted competition to guess the weight of Dendor 1 Alabama.

 

The afternoon resumed with Glen leading a practical beef evaluation session using a live bull to demonstrate key points and explain the different meat cuts. Participants were able to handle the animal and put theory into practice. Seniors then remained with Glen to discuss the wider beef industry, while the remaining groups judged the young bulls. Impressively, only one person correctly placed both classes in line with the judge: Will Awan.

The day concluded with leading and handling sessions. The newbies took to the ring first, supported by the seniors as part of the teaching and communication element of the competition. The juniors then held their own competition, with results as follows:

  • 1st: Mia S
  • 2nd: Sid S
  • 3rd: Eifion J
  • 4th: Emmy E
  • 5th: Harriet E

The seniors then delivered a masterclass in showmanship. Results were:

  • 1st: Jorja SB
  • 2nd: Ollie GS
  • 3rd: Ciara F
  • 4th: Archie R
  • 5th: Ieuan M

The day was a fantastic success and a wonderful way to celebrate the 10-year anniversary workshop of UK Hereford Youth. The raffle raised £229, and sincere thanks go to everyone who donated prizes. Even the celebration cake was well received.

The celebrations continued into the evening in Totnes, where members enjoyed social time, strengthened friendships and built connections within the Hereford community.

Sundays herd walk

On Sunday, the group visited the Hollystone herd, kindly hosted by Philip and Chris Caunter, along with son Mike and wife Fran. Attendees enjoyed a herd walk among cows, calves and youngstock while learning about the farm’s breeding policies and management. Despite the weather, enthusiasm remained high and the visit concluded with homemade rolls, pizza, cake and plenty of tea while taking in the views of the South Devon countryside.

A huge thank you goes to both host families for welcoming so many people onto their farms and sharing their passion for the Hereford breed

Briars Herefords Dispersal Sale

Sky High 1 Lavish Lucy & Calf Briar 1 Laish Lucy – 7500gns – Shrewsbury Herefords – May 2026

The dispersal of the Briars Herefords herd presented a rare opportunity to acquire cattle founded on quality, proven genetics and carefully considered breeding principles. Over several years, the vendors invested in females sourced from many of the breed’s most respected and established herds, creating a programme built on depth, functionality and performance. With both UK and international sires represented, the sale was prompted by a restructuring of the business.

Trade was topped by the September 2022-born young cow Sky High 1 Lavish Lucy, bred by B Birch and G Brindley. Sired by Gouldingpoll 1 Stockman and out of Sky High 1 L’amour Lucy, the cow comes from a strong female line and demonstrated excellent maternal ability, having produced twin heifers in January 2026. She sold for the section leading 7,500gns to Steve O’Kane.

Next best was Hoghton View 1 Alice 3rd, bred by S & E Walker of Hoghton View Herefords. Born 20 January 2024 and running with Pepperstock 1 Blackstaffe, the stylish heifer is sired by Auckvale 1 Walktall and out of Hoghton View 1 Alice 1st. She realised 6,200gns, also selling to Steven O’Kane.

Pepperstock 1 Fashion A918, a January 2023-born female bred by Speirs Farms Ltd and sired by Kinglee 1 Romeo out of Pepperstock 1 Fashion L181, sold for 4,100gns to C Jones.

Completing the leading prices was Starline 1 Nugget 11th, bred by AG & LE Gifford. Sired by Romany 1 Prince BL P41 and out of Starline 1 Nugget 6th, she sold to C Jones for 4,000gns.

Trade throughout the day reflected strong demand for quality Hereford cattle, with competition keen across all sections. Vendors were well rewarded for their stock, bringing a successful day’s trading to a close for all involved.

Celebrating a decade of Hereford Youth

This spring marks 10 years of Hereford Youth, a decade in which hundreds of young people have taken part in workshops, stock judging, training and international opportunities through the Hereford Cattle Society.

Hereford Youth held its first workshop in April 2016, when nearly 30 young people travelled from across the UK, including Northern Ireland, to Normanton Herefords. That day set the tone for the programme: practical learning, shared experience and a commitment to developing the next generation of Hereford breeders and industry professionals.

Since then, young members have gone on to represent the breed and the UK on the national and international stage. Highlights have included participation in young handlers’ classes at Tullamore Show during a workshop visit to Ireland in 2018, and annual representation in the National Stock Judging competition at Three Counties Show. Many members have also secured young handler titles at shows across the country, building skills and confidence in the ring.

Internationally, teams of young Hereford breeders travelled to New Zealand in 2020 and the United States in 2025, representing the UK at successive World Hereford Conferences. Alongside this, Hereford Youth members have contributed to the British Cattle Breeders Club Conference and other industry events, with several individuals going on to be nominated for national awards in their own right.

The programme has also broken new ground socially. In 2022, Hereford Youth hosted the Society’s first charity ball, a black-tie event which brought supporters together from across the UK and Europe and raised £10,800 for good causes. Across the decade, workshops, farm walks, stockmanship training and social events have helped young people build networks, careers and lifelong friendships.

Reflecting on the milestone, Hereford Cattle Society General Manager, Seth Wareing said he was proud of what has been achieved and excited about the future. “Over the past ten years, Hereford Youth has helped young people gain skills, experience and confidence while flying the flag for the breed at home and overseas,” he said. “We are now looking forward to the next decade, continuing to invest inopportunity, leadership and practical learning for the next generation of Hereford breeders.”

The 10-year anniversary will be marked at the upcoming youth workshop on Friday 2 May at Allwood Herefords, by kind permission of Gerald Wood and family. The day will focus on hands-on stock judging, show preparation, teamwork and confidence building, welcoming young Hereford enthusiasts from across the UK.

To help make the anniversary event as rewarding as possible, Hereford Youth is still seeking raffle prizes and small awards for participants. Suitable items include vouchers or experiences, farm or breed-branded clothing, farming or livestock equipment, gifts, hampers or other practical items for young farmers.

Anyone wishing to support the event, or to discuss a potential prize donation, is invited to contact Emma Edwards at emma.edwards@herefordcattle.org

Could You Host a Farm Visit for the 2028 World Hereford Conference?

The Hereford Cattle Society will proudly host the World Hereford Conference in the UK from Monday 12 to Saturday 17 June 2028, bringing together breeders, farmers, young people and industry leaders from across the UK and overseas. The week-long event will include conference sessions, herd visits and a major show of cattle, showcasing the Hereford breed on a global stage.

Complete a short online Expression of Interest form here

As part of the programme, the Society is planning a series of exclusive pre- and post-conference tours to give delegates the opportunity to experience UK Hereford herds, farming systems and rural life first-hand. Pre-conference tours are scheduled for 5–10 June 2028, with post-conference tours planned for 19–24 June 2028.

Expressions of interest now open

The Society is now inviting expressions of interest from members, farms, estates and rural businesses who may be interested in hosting a visit as part of these tours. At this stage, organisers are simply looking to understand the range of potential hosts and visit ideas, with no commitment required from those submitting the form.

We are keen to hear from all types of farms and businesses with stories to share — from long-established pedigree herds to progressive commercial systems, new entrants and family-run farms, or those that have taken a unique or innovative approach to breeding and management. Historical locations are also very welcome, including sites with heritage buildings, landmarks or even stately homes that help tell the wider story of British agriculture and rural life.

These visits will celebrate the diversity of the UK’s Hereford cattle, farming heritage, local culture and rural excellence, offering delegates a genuine insight into the people and places behind the breed.

How to get involved

Those interested in being considered as a potential host are invited to complete a short online Expression of Interest form here. 

If you would like to express your interest but would prefer not to complete the online form, please contact the Society office on  01432 272057 and a member of the team will be happy to take your details over the phone or by email.

Submissions are open until 30 April 2026, after which the Society will begin mapping out routes, themes and logistics for the pre- and post-conference tour programme.

Herefords Finish 2025 on a High

What a way to end the 2025 showing year at the Hereford Cattle Breeders Calf Show, held at Shrewsbury Livestock Auction Centre. Not only were numbers strong, but the quality of cattle on display truly shone through. To follow this with a record-breaking Designer Genes sale was the icing on the cake, some might even say it was a Christmas cracker of a day.

Proceedings began with the best pair of bull calves, owned by the exhibitor. Taking first place was the Baybridge herd of LG Gould, closely followed by the Beca herd exhibited by GJ Twose, a fitting start to a super Saturday.

Best pair of bull calves – Baybridge, LG Gould

Moving into the senior classes, the overall supreme championship was decided in a strong class of 11 September/October 2024-born bull calves. Taking the top spot was Normanton 1 Charlie Boy, exhibited by the Livesey family. This September 2024-born bull is no stranger to success, having already secured the overall male and senior male championships at Borderway Agri Expo earlier in the autumn. Judge Mr Arwel Owen, a beef supply chain manager for Genus, praised the strength and power of the class, which was clearly evident in the Normanton entries, with Normanton 1 Crumbie securing reserve senior champion. Both bulls are sired by Cleland 1 Nelson, with Charlie Boy out of Normanton 1 Grifola 10th and Crumbie out of Normanton 1 Fistulina 38th V479.

The reserve supreme championship went to a true star of the showring, Dendor 1 Lilac Wine 46th, exhibited by DE, ED & AL Jones. This flashy September 2024-born heifer has enjoyed an outstanding summer, including claiming overall junior champion at the National Poll Show, alongside numerous accolades alongside her dam, Lilac Wine 37th. Now winning in her own right, she is sired by Solpoll 1 Vanquish. This success capped an exceptional day for the Dendor herd, with four of their five exhibits making the final line-up.

Further success followed in the junior male championship, once again for the Dendor family, with Dendor 1 Cruzcampo taking the title. This stylish March 2025-born bull won his split class and impressed the judge with his length and head carriage. Cruzcampo is also sired by Solpoll 1 Vanquish and is out of Dendor 1 Echo 36th. Stablemate Dendor 1 Colorado won the April-born class and went on to secure reserve junior male champion. Sired by Hoghton View 1 Utah and out of Dendor 1 Greta 36th, this marked an outstanding achievement for the Powys-based herd.

In the senior female section, the reserve senior female championship went to another Dendor exhibit, Dendor 1 Jano 25th, shown in the September/October 2024 class. Born in September 2024, she is sired by Romany 1 Distiller A84 D53 and out of Dendor 1 Jano 21st. With numerous animals presented across the day, it was all hands-on deck for the Dendor team as they collected an impressive haul of awards.

The junior female section brought success for the Ludgate family’s Rempstone herd, with Rempstone 1 Luna P741 winning the January 2025-born class. Sired by Fisher 1 Prospect P464 and out of Rempstone 1 Luna D588, the judge described her as a strong, exceptional heifer. Further honours followed when Rempstone 1 Tessa A768 secured reserve junior female champion. This April-born heifer is sired by Auckvale 1 Avatar 2238A and out of the renowned Rempstone 1 Tessa P667 and was expertly presented by young stockman Joe Clark.

In his closing remarks, Mr Owen commented that it had been a privilege to judge such a high-quality show. He noted that the breed was clearly moving in the right direction, highlighting the impressive loins and rumps seen throughout the classes. He praised his overall champion for being correct behind the shoulder with a strong loin, while his reserve female, he felt, showed all the attributes of an excellent future cow.

The Young Handlers once again put on a superb display, with judge Tony Bradstock putting senior handlers Archie Roberts and Jorja Snook-Bevis through their paces, including swapping animals and removing show sticks. Archie narrowly took the overall title, with Jorja in reserve. Strong performances were also seen from intermediates Mia Shaw and Abbie Jackson-Carr, and juniors Henry Hawkins and Sid Shaw, with the judge commending all competitors for their professionalism and stockmanship.

Top performance at English Winter Fair

The English Winter Fair once again delivered an excellent showcase for the breed, with a strong turnout at the Staffordshire County Showground. Positivity was high among members, further boosted by an impressive number of spectators.

The live pedigree beef classes opened proceedings, with three entries forward in the steer class. Normanton 1 Billy, exhibited by TD and WT Livesey, was placed first under commercial judge Mr. M. Alford, Cullompton, Devon. In the heifer section, M. Coates of Leicestershire secured the top spot with Jolly 532.

The National Pedigree Calf Show followed, judged by Mr. Andrew Hughes of the Coley herd, Halifax. Three entries contested the senior bull calf class (born between 1 October and 31 December 2024). First place went to Moralee 1 Clint PA381, exhibited by Tom and Di Harrison of Northumberland. This October-born calf is sired by Moralee 1 Panda and out of Coley 1 Pippa 356, and had already impressed earlier in the season, taking reserve senior male at the Borderway Agri-Expo.

Mr. Hughes showed clear admiration for Clint from the outset, and the bull went on to claim both champion bull calf and overall supreme pedigree calf, praised for his power, strength, and balance.

Standing overall reserve pedigree calf champion was Dendor 1 Greta 42nd, a heifer well-known for her femininity and style. She previously topped a strong class at the National Hereford Poll Show in September. Born October 2024, she is sired by Solpoll 1 Vanquish and out of Dendor 1 Greta 32nd.

The depth of quality across the breed was particularly evident in the highly competitive intermediate bull calf class (born between 1 January and 31 March 2025), which attracted seven entries. Taking first place was Keadyview 1 Casino, exhibited by Keadyview Livestock. This January-born calf, sired by Moralee 1 Rebel Kicks and out of Holestone 1 355 BB Tessa, impressed with his breed character and easy temperament. He later secured the title of reserve champion bull calf.

In the heifer division, Grifford 1 True Beauty, exhibited by N. Griffiths, claimed reserve champion female calf. The February-born heifer placed first in a strong group of five and is sired by Normanton 1 Laertes and out of Greenyards 1 Truelove M314. This achievement marked a proud moment for the local breeder.

Strong Hereford turnout at Agrifest Southwest 

This year’s Agrifest Southwest competition, held at the Westpoint Arena in Devon, saw an exceptional turnout of cattle. The Hereford classes were particularly well supported, attracting nearly 30 entries from a wide range of exhibitors.

The day began with the pedigree Hereford bull calf class for animals born in 2025. Due to high numbers, the class was split into two heats. Winning the first was Baybridge 1 Clyde, bred by Mr. Les Gould and exhibited by grandchildren Pete and Jo Compton. This January-born calf oozed style from the moment he entered the ring, making judge Ms. Maddie Clarke of Llanrwst, Wales, confident in her decision. His thickness, balance, and overall presence secured him the top spot.

The second heat was won by Bayridge 1 Crackalacking, also from Mr. Gould. This February-born calf showcased the same style and correctness, with both bulls being sired by Weybrook 1 Drake. When the heat winners went head-to-head, Bayridge 1 Clyde came out on top. He continued his strong run by taking the reserve pedigree native calf male championship.

In the pedigree Hereford heifer calf class for 2025-born animals, seven strong females came forward. Allwood 1 Greta 2nd from F. J. Wood & Sons was the clear winner. The February-born heifer is sired by River Dale 1 Whizz Kid and out of Dendor 1 Greta 33rd. She went on to secure the reserve pedigree native calf female championship, with Ms. Clarke praising her femininity, flashy appearance, and ring presence. She then impressed once again by taking the reserve pedigree native calf championship.

Senior Section

In the Hereford senior bull calf class (born 1 September–31 December 2024), first place went to Midford 1 Crackerjack from W. Awan. The journey from Bath, Somerset, proved worthwhile as Crackerjack went on to secure the pedigree senior male, senior pedigree calf champion, and native senior male champion titles. This October 2024-born bull has already tasted success, previously winning junior male champion and reserve male champion at this year’s National Poll Show. He is sired by Kinglee 1 The New One and out of Gouldingpoll 1 Ravette 738.

Taking reserve native senior male champion was Allwood 1 Captain from F. J. Wood & Sons. This September 2024-born bull is out of Pepperstock 1 Orchid V707 and sired by Gouldingpoll 1 Duncan.

Young Native Bull of the Year (Born in 2024)

A strong entry of ten bulls, representing five native breeds, competed for this title. Allwood 1 Brigadier, also from F. J. Wood & Sons, placed 2nd overall, a notable achievement for the South Devon-based Wood family. Impressively, the result was a unanimous decision by both judges, Ms. Maddie Clarke and continental judge Ben Maskell. Brigadier is sired by Dendor 1 Kohinoor and out of Rempstone 1 Anna Mary N506.

The Future Looks Bright 

The Stars of the Future Calf Show once again proved to be an excellent indicator of the quality and promise to come for the upcoming show season. This year’s event did not disappoint, with a strong display of quality cattle throughout the classes.

Senior Males

The day began with the senior male section, which saw two strong entries forward. Leading the way was Maxwell 1 Crack-a-Lackin, exhibited by Miss Cara Doggett. This October 2024-born bull demonstrated true potential and style. Sired by Coley 1 Weiderman and out of Coley 1 Mink 634, a cow purchased by Cara, he went on to impress the judge, Mr William McLaren of the Netherton herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle, to claim both the senior male and overall male championships.

Maxwell 1 Crack-a-Lackin

Taking the reserve male championship was Panmure 1 Colonel from J. M. Cant & Partners. This December 2024-born bull, out of Panmure 1 Plum P10 and sired by Romany 1 Thor FR T4, showed excellent breed character and presence throughout.

Junior Males

In the junior male section, Moralee 1 Casino PR395, exhibited by Daniel Holmes, topped his class for bulls born between 4th January and 22nd April 2025. He then went on to secure both the junior male and overall junior championships. This January 2025-born bull is sired by Moralee 1 RHS Prince KR R8 and out of Moralee 1 Kathryn 2nd.

Moralee 1 Casino PR395

The reserve junior male championship went to Bennachie 1 Cracker from Ian Skea of the Bennachie herd. Competing in the same class as Casino, this March 2025-born bull proved the exceptional quality within this age group.

Bennachie 1 Cracker

Females

The female section also impressed, with a strong line-up of young heifers representing the breed.

Leading the senior division was Panmure 1 Plum C3, again from J. M. Cant & Partners. True to her breeding, she hails from the renowned Plum family, her dam Panmure 1 Plum S8 is a half-sister to stablemate Colonel, and she is sired by Romany 1 Thor FR T4.

Taking the reserve senior female championship was Coneys 1 Eira, from T. & K. Coney & Sons. The oldest heifer forward on the day, she was born in September 2024 and is out of Hean 1 Eira 000, sired by Hean 1 Worthwhile 217.

In the junior female section, the junior female and reserve overall championship went to Bennachie 1 Zara 3rd, also from Ian Skea and the Bennachie herd, rounding off a highly successful day for the team. One of the youngest in her class, this March-born heifer is sired by Bennachie 1 Tam and out of Polinar 1 Zara.

Bennachie 1 Zara 3rd

Finally, the reserve junior female championship went to Garnet 1 Eira 008, exhibited by Brenda R. Wear. The youngest heifer forward, born in April 2025, is out of Hean 1 Eira 854 and sired by Hean 1 Worthwhile 217. Her dam was purchased at the Hean dispersal sale in August 2024.

 Dendor Dominates at Borderway Agri Expo

It was a strong turnout for this year’s Borderway Agri Expo, held in Carlisle, where the windy weather did little to deter exhibitors from across the North of England and beyond. With over 35 Herefords forward, the breed was well represented, showcasing the quality and consistency that continues to define the Hereford herd book.

 Taking the senior, overall female, and supreme championship was Dendor 1 Lilac Wine 46th from DE, ED& AL. Jones, Wales. This September 2024-born heifer is no stranger to the show ring, having already enjoyed a successful season alongside her dam, Dendor 1 Lilac Wine 37th, including taking the junior female and overall junior championships at this year’s National Poll Show.

Dendor 1 Lilac Wine 46th

Sired by Solpoll 1 Vanquish, she represents the next generation of quality breeding from the renowned Dendor herd. Judge Mr Joe Clarke of the Rempstone herd praised her femininity, length, balance, and movement qualities he described as “exactly what I look for in a breeding female.”

Also in the spotlight was RM 1 Starlet from H. Whittaker, Halifax, bred by E. Hodge. This February 2025-born heifer won her class before going on to take reserve supreme, reserve female and junior female champion. Her dam, Pulham 1 Starlet 11th, was the supreme champion at the National Poll Show in September, with this young female at foot, demonstrating that true quality runs in the bloodlines. Starlet is sired by Gouldingpoll 1 Duncan.

RM 1 Starlet

Further success in the female division came for the Dendor team with Dendor 1 Jano 25th, another September 2024-born heifer. Out of Dendor 1 Jano 21st and sired by Romany 1 Distiller, she caught the judge’s eye for her style and balance. Mr Clarke commented that the “overall quality of cattle was very high, making for some difficult decisions.”

Dendor 1 Jano 25th

Adding to a superb day for the Coley team, Coley 1 Mink 751, stablemate to Starlet, took the reserve junior female title. This January-born heifer, out of Frenchstone P. 1 Eve and sired by Aqua Hollow Talent 24K, impressed for her presence and breed character.

Coley 1 Mink 751

Quality was equally evident in the male section, led by Normanton 1 Charlie Boy from T. D. & W. T. Livesey, who took the male championship. This September 2024-born bull, by Cleland 1 Nelson and out of Normanton 1 Grifola 10th, demonstrated the strength of the Normanton breeding program and the growing influence of his sire across the show circuit.

Normanton 1 Charlie Boy

Standing reserve was Coley 1 Condor, again from H. Whittaker, rounding off a memorable show for the team. This January 2025-born bull is by Gouldingpoll 1 Gold Spice and out of Gouldingpoll 1 Duchess 916, combining two proven lines known for performance and style.

Coley 1 Condor

The reserve junior male championship went to Bethanfield 1Captain 152 from B. Hutchinson. Out of Porton House 1 Duchess and sired by Dendor 1 Vodka, this January 2025-born bull impressed with his strength and correctness, traits consistent with his prize-winning lineage.

Bethanfield 1Captain 152

Meanwhile, Moralee 1 Clint PA381 from T. & D. Harrison, Northumberland, claimed the Reserve senior male championship. This October 2024-born bull, out of Coley 1 Pippa 356 and sired by Moralee 1 Panda, stood out for his quality and structure.

In the pairs class, it was the Livesey family’s Normanton Herefords who took the top spot, while Tom and Di Harrison secured first place in the group of three.

 

The young handler classes were well supported, with Lucie Culpan taking the win in the under-15s category, rounding off an excellent day for the Hereford breed at Borderway Agri Expo.
