A super few days were spent at The Royal Highland show. As well as fitting in Pedigree Livestock Services work covering multiple breeds across the show, I showed a young eleven-month-old Shorthorn heifer.
There was a strong turnout of the breed and she was the youngest in her class, so I was content enough to be placed in the middle of the field. She was rather sharp when I showed her, as it’s the first time she’s been out. After bursting into the ring and having a tussle or two, I managed to show her reasonably well when it mattered and when she was in the judge’s eye line. After a couple of times out in the grand parade over the weekend, by the time we were loading for home, she was as quiet as a mouse! A learning curve for both her and me.
On our return late on Sunday evening, we were greeted by more ducklings scurrying around the pond along with a bigger surprise in the form of a tiny Pygmy nanny kid.
