BEEF EXPO 2008 - CHAROLAIS RESULTS
15/10/2008
 
A GREAT WEEK-END + A TERRIFIC CHAROLAIS SHOW

Charolais exhibitors at the first ever Beef Expo did the breed proud with a wonderful display of top quality cattle.
Charolais had the biggest number of cattle at the show, each and every Charolais class had quality right down the lines.
The top placings were as good as one would see at any
Charolais show around the world. Our visitors from countries as far apart as Australia and Uruguay and our near Europen neighbours were impressed. Already enquiries
have been received re. forthcoming sale dates.

PICTURES of all first prize winners follow the class results.
