The herd's first trip to the Highland Show was a terrific experience and one which resulted in some success for the heifers present. Representing the herd was embryo sisters Meadowrig Eva & Era along with our newly imported French heifer Dany. Eva shone the brightest being placed 3rd in a very strong intermediate heifer class. Dany placed 6th in the senior heifer class and Era just missed out being placed 7th in the intermediate class out of 14. We were delighted with the feedback from fellow breeders and picked up a lot of tips during the few days.
