More success with our sole entry horned cow Moralee Curly CI288 with calf Moralee Curly FF422 - Reserve Female Champion

Part of report from Hereford Cattle Society UK

Back to the Hereford section on Monday, the Reserve Female Championship went to the homebred October 2022-born cow Moralee Curly CI288 from Tom & Diane Harrison, Northumberland. Described by the judge as “a good working cow with a great bag of milk”, he also said: “she is thick, well-fleshed, and doing her heifer calf very well.” Moralee Curly CI288 was awarded the HCS Horned Female of the Year trophy as a heifer in both 2023 and 2024, and is an ET daughter of the renowned AI sire Parkhill Pompeii, and dam Auckvale Curly 1831S by Auckvale King-Maker.

On the conclusion of his day’s judging in the Hereford section, judge Mr Colin Soutter said: “The quality of cattle on display were a credit to every breeder. The top end was strong, but it’s so good to see the bottom ones keep getting better. As breeders we need to keep improving and competing with the other breeds, and the exhibitors at the Royal Welsh put on a fantastic display of cattle to promote our breed. Thank you to every breeder that exhibited cattle in front of me and thanks to the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society for asking me to judge.”

The Hereford Cattle Society is grateful to Colin Soutter for his expert assessment of the classes, and to all the exhibitors and supporters who visited the Society stand and helped make another excellent Royal Welsh week.
