THE NATIONAL Hereford Show is to be held on the internet this August – and with over 200 entries submitted, it looks set to be the largest show of Hereford cattle in Europe this year.
Hosted by the National Hereford Club and usually staged at Tenbury Wells Show, the class winners of the show will be announced on what would have been show day, Saturday August 1, 2020.
The online spectacle will be judged by Robert Clarke of the Shadwell Estate (England), Brent and Anna Fisher of the Silverstream Hereford Stud (New Zealand) and Gary McKiernan of Corlismore Herefords (Republic of Ireland).
Class winners will then be put forward to the female and male championships, which the public will have their chance to vote for. These votes will make up 25% of the final outcome, while the three judges' placings will each contribute 25% to the result. The male and female champions will be announced on Saturday August 8 and will conclude the show.
To vote, visit www.nationalherefordclub.co.uk/virtual-show-2020 or National Hereford Club on Facebook.
