Michael attended our club meeting in the Woodlands House hotel on Thursday the 21st of February to present the results.
At the presentation Michael commented:
Thanks very much to the South West Club for inviting me to judge this competition, many thanks to all the competitors for welcoming me into their herds, I tremendously enjoyed judging the competition and was very impressed with the knowledge and passion each herd owner has for their own stock and indeed the Limousin breed.
I viewed some outstanding cattle that I am looking forward to seeing many of the young stock at shows and sales in 2024.
