Charollais dominate in interbreeds at Royal Cornwall Show

A show that will be remembered for blustery winds, torrential downpours and a haul of three interbreed titles for the Charollais breed, Royal Cornwall Show hosted this year’s South West Feature Show.

Judged by Adrian Davies of the Glyn Coch flock, the Foxhill team of Michael and Melanie Alford took top honours and then went on to clinch the individual and pairs interbreed titles, while Tom Newth of the Prestleigh flock carried on his winning form from south west shows, by taking reserve breed champion and the reserve ram lamb interbreed championship, with the interbreed championships being judged by William Ingram.
