Paula Hynes: Georgie sparkles in New Forest

Georgie got  her very first showmanship championship with  Sparkles thanks to dairy judge Blaise Tomlinson at the New Forest show.

Those of you who are weekly readers of my column will know myself and Pete celebrated our 30-year anniversary recently and he decided to surprise me with something that sparkles. I know, you are all thinking it was an amazing piece of jewellery.

Well, he knows me a little better than that but what he got me was even more special and a little on the rare side. My anniversary present was a half share in the most beautiful red and white Holstein heifer named Panda Sparkles of Gold (Red). She is a December 2023-born heifer from an outstanding cow family with UK Dairy Day and All Britain Champions in her pedigree.
