Mason’s backs Blue herd competition

ENTRIES are invited for the NI British Blue Cattle herd competition sponsored by Mason’s Animal Feeds of Marlacoo, Portadown.

To take part, complete an entry form available now from Club Secretary Annabel Cleland, telephone 07742 988674.

Graham Brindley, long-serving and much respected British Blue Cattle Society chairman, will travel from Shropshire to judge this annual event. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded on Friday, August 19, during the NI Blue Cattle Club barbecue and charity auction in Ballynahinch Rugby Club.

Starting from 7pm, the major social event of this year for club members will raise funds for the Friends of the Cancer Centre in Belfast City Hospital.

At just £20, tickets cover a steak main course and dessert, topped up with music, charity auction action and, of course, the results of the Herd Competition sponsored by Mason’s Animal Feeds – a County Down evening out with those breeding the ultimate beef terminal sire for dairy and suckler herds alike, the British Blue.
