This is Mr Suffern’s 60th year in Ayrshires and earlier this morning he celebrated his 30th Ayrshire Balmoral championship.
Winning the Dairy Shorthorn championship and taking the honourable mention title was the February 2007-born Lincool Heather 10th who is owned in partnership with John Henning and Ashley Fleming of Sunrise Shorthorns. By Irthingvale Lilians Rebel she is out of Lincool heather 8th and is an Ex 92 second claver who is projected to give 9477 litres this year.
