Congratulations to all exhibitors in the Calf Championship sponsored by the Royal Smithfield Club. A 17-strong entry saw judge Anthony Kitson award his championship to this March 2020-born Limousin-sired heifer calf out of a Limousin dam; reserve went to a May-born Blonde-cross calf out of a Blue-cross dam from Pat Hackett, Clogher.
