[QUOTE="Agriland RSS, post: 7782679, member: 105608"] Written by Rachel Martin from Agriland Four of the North’s biggest continental beef breeds have joined forces to launch a new calf show event for Northern Ireland. Taking place on Saturday, November 27, 2021, at Dungannon Farmers Mart, the [B]4 Breeds Calf Show[/B] is a product of talks between the NI Simmental, British Blue, Blonde and Salers Clubs. Speaking to [I]Agriland[/I], David Gibson, who is helping to organise the event, said: “This is all about encouraging new young breeders into the ring. It will of course also bring out the established showers, but the calf show will pay dividends next year in the show and sale rings. “We want to create an environment where both young and old breeders in all of the breeds feel like they can take part. “We are thinking about the long-term future of the clubs – it’s a way of encouraging young people to come with young animals, with the hope they then bring one of those of animals on to a show or sale next year, and then start to want to promote the breeds a bit more. “On behalf of the organisers, I would like to thank Dungannon Farmers’ market for opening on the Saturday for us.” [HEADING=1]4 Breeds Calf Show Classes[/HEADING] Several classes are available to enter across each of the four breeds (Salers, Simmental, Blonde, Blue), including: [LIST] [*]Class 1 – Bull born on or after 01/09/20 and on or before 31/12/20; [*]Class 2 – Heifer born on or after 01/09/20 and on or before 31/12/20; [*]Class 3 – Bull born on or after 01/01/21; [*]Class 4 – Heifer born on or after 01/01/21; [*]Class 5 – Pairs class. Pair of animals owned by one exhibitor and entered in any class(es) above. [/LIST] Each of the above classes will offer a minimum prize of £25 for first place, £15 for second and £10 for third.
