2020 South West Limousin club Herds Competition was held in early September. Tasked with judging the competition was society President Michael Gunn. We were delighted with the number of herds that competed – it was great to have so many of our newest breeders taking part. Many thanks to Michael and his nephew Evan for judging.
On posting his results Michael commented: Firstly, Thanks very much for asking me to judge the competition.
I really enjoyed visiting the herds in the South West club, the standard of cattle was excellent across all the various classes. Thanks very much to all competitors and best wishes with your Limousin cattle.
Michael put this video together of each class:
