The English Guernsey Cattle Society was established in 1884 to provide a record of ancestry of Guern

The English Guernsey Cattle Society was established in 1884 to provide a record of ancestry of Guernsey Cattle imported at around that time from Guernsey Island. The Herd Book has been published on an annual basis in every year since, and lists the parentage and ownership and from the 1920’s has included milk production records. These records are now available in an electronic form through the UK Dairy Cattle website at www.ukcows.com. The EGCS have a Council of members some of whom are elected by members, there are also Regional council members and these members meet to set a budget to cover the costs of administration which is mainly levied on an annual cost per cow. EGCS are also involved in the selection of young bulls with high breeding potential and the collection and sale of their semen. Annual awards are presented to recognize the high yielding and high type animals as well as bull progeny and cow family competitions.

Congratulations to Emma and the Greenslade Family, on their fantastic success at todays Dairy/ National Guernsey Show at Shepton Mallet, Somerset. Their 5th calver cow, Greensfield Dandy Dans Dolly Star competed the double having been last years champion. Emma also won the Peter Down Points trophy and this was presented by Peter's Great niece, Laura Sales.
The Guernsey classes were full of quality animals throughout and it was good to see numbers up on previous year's.
Emma and family were joined in the Guernsey lines by, Nicola Bottom, Michael Dawes, James Warren, Samuel Hodge and Sophie Phillips.
Emma had also won Champion Guernsey calf in the previous evenings youngstock competition.
Champion Guernsey handler was Sophia Warren with Shannon Dawes in Reserve.
Judging the Guernsey classes was Laura Sales who was delighted to officiate at the show being a lifelong supporter of the show particularly showing with the Bickfield Herd and latterly her own family's Avalon Guernseys. To add to her joy, she got a proposal from her partner Karl.🎉💍
On behalf of the Society, this author would like to thank all exhibitors for their continued support of the Shows in the South West. Also to Richard Norman, who unfortunately due to other commitments was unable to be at the show today, but has been ever present at the shows during the summer.
Finally, good luck to everyone taking calves to the All Breed All Britain Calf show, let's finish the Show season on a high!
Here are the highlights from our National Show.
