Just been reading the classes you would be better with
calf under 12 month
heifer 12-18 month
heifer in calf or in milk
cow in calf or in milk
as if you have to many younger classes you might only 1 or 2 in a class
have you got a dexter judge

hi louisa sorry there is no bull class but junior bulls may be entered into the age appropite class if being handled by an adult ... a bull class could be added if enough people wish to enter them . the classes are £5.00 a class plus £1 per exhibitor to help pay for increased first aid cover thank you for your interest jim riding
