Albion Cattle Society Herd Competition:  September, 2025.

Judges: Mr John Ball & Ms Lynn Parks.      

​The 2025 herd competition remains a light-hearted affair designed as a bit of fun, hopefully creating some publicity to promote the breed. The results will be announced at the ACS Open Weekend on Saturday 11th October at Melsop Farm Park, Norfolk. The winner will receive the Royal Agricultural Society of England cup, originally awarded for the best female Albion at the Royal Show with special rosettes for runners ups.

This cup was originally presented by the Blue Albion Cattle Society in the 1920s & was won by staunch member Mr C H Goodwin in 1936, 37 & 39. For understandable reasons, the shows ended there & now this cup has been very kindly re-presented by the family of the late Messrs C A & C H Goodwin. Mr & Mrs Richard Hewitt.
