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

Do these junior classes include males? Is there a bull class?

[jim riding]

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

hi you could possibly add a junior handler class aswell as you may get a couple of junior handlers. i know i would definitely enter

[jim riding]

we have a young handlers class in the other beef section this is judged on presentation of handler and animal and the handling skills ie control . thanks jim riding

[jim riding]

i am still waiting on the dexter society to appoint a judge for the show ..website for show now up and working www.greatharwoodshow.co.uk thank you jim riding

hi just looked at the young handlers class but its only up to the age of 14. would it be possible to do an older one too?

[jim riding]

hi amy i will talk to committee next week to see if i can put another young handlers class on in the open section , or wether i can put a extra class on the dexter section it would be under 18s also it depends on interest from other people and getting a dexter judge thanks jim riding

[jim riding]

the judge will be miss hazel bickerton with regards to the young handler class the age range will be within the dexter society guide lines so members can gain points for overall championship hope this helps schedules now available at www.greatharwoodshow.co.uk thanks jim riding
