Scotland's Beef Event 2015

We had 4 cattle on the Bazadaise stand - 2 prime steers (Bazadaise sired out of AngusX cows) from the commercial herd of member Ian Orr, Standhill Farm, Bathgate and 2 young pedigree Bazadaise bulls from breed society chairman Willie Crawford, Hatton Mains, Kirknewton.  On the stand, ready to chat to all and sundry, were Ian and Willie plus Ann Malcolm from Aberdeen.
There was an overall attendance on the day of about 3,500 and the weather was very good until 3 in the afternoon when the rain started. 

However, our stand was in a good position and we had an encouragingly large amount of interest in the breed.  We were kept busy talking to folks from 9 in the morning until the sale of cattle started at 4pm.

The quality of the animals we had there certainly aroused interest.  It reinforces to us how much impact can be gained from having live animals on the stand.  A significant number of people we spoke to had not seen Bazadaise cattle in the flesh before.

All in all, it was a successful and enjoyable day for us all.
