Judge Robin Boyd has just awarded the English National Shimmental Show female championship and senior heifer championship to Jimmy McMillan of Boddington Estates with the February 2010-born heifer Sterling Krumpets Britney, an ET-bred Sterling Flint daughter out of the Kair Galaxy-sired Sterling Hawaii’s Krumpet.

Describing his champion, Robin said: “This heifer is a tremendous example of the breed with great width, sclae and presence.”

Standing reserve and reserve senior heifer championship continuing a great run of results from previous National Shows was Ann and Tony Jukes with Swallowhill Bluebelle, a May 2010-born dark red Hillcrest Champion heifer out of the Raceview King daughter Raceview Vita Kim who was purchased privately from the O’Connell family as a calf.
