UK Dairy Day Press Release: National Show judges confirmed for UK Dairy Day 2023

20th March 2023

The National Ayrshire show returns to the ring at UK Dairy Day 2023. The Ayrshire Cattle Society have selected Colin Christophers from Truro, Cornwall to judge the National Ayrshire Show.

With wife Jenny, son David and help from daughter Debbie and Granddaughter Megan, Colin runs the Rosehill Ayrshire herd.  The 300-acre Cornwall Council farm has a herd of 300 with 170 milking cows and followers. Recent investment on the farm has seen a new slurry system installed, collecting and converting methane from the herd to power tractors, vehicles, and generators.

The Rosehill Ayrshire Herd has shown all over the South West and previously up to the Royal Show.  Their greatest accolade is winning the Royal Show with Rosehill Black Velour.  In addition to showing Colin has had the honour of judging all over the UK, including at Balmoral & Antrim in Northern Ireland, The Highland Show and AgriScot in Scotland, The Welsh Dairy Show, Royal Welsh and the Royal and Royal Welsh Shows.

The cattle schedule will be released at the beginning of July with the stall booking deadline being Friday 4th August 2023.
