BORDER ABERDEEN ANGUS CLUB DONATES TO RSABI

During the summer of 2024 the Border Aberdeen Angus Club held a raffle for a pedigree Aberdeen Angus heifer, to raise funds for holding the Aberdeen Angus Summer National show at the Border Union Show. The heifer, Rulesmains Princess Z838, was generously donated by Andrew, Jill and Emma Hodge, of Rulesmains, Duns, and was won by Robin Orr, Halbeath, Dunfermline, the draw having taken place on show day – 27th July.

The raffle raised a significant amount to contribute to costs associated with running the Summer National Show, and the excess (£5354.94) was donated to RSABI to continue the good work that this charity does within the agricultural industry. Jimmy McLean, Chairman of RSABI was on hand at AgriExpo to receive the presentation cheque, along with Andrew and Emma Hodge and Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society President, Ian Watson. Emma Hodge said “As an industry we are indebted to RSABI for the work that they do to support members of our industry, as it can be a lonely job. It is a very worthwhile cause, and the club is pleased to be making this substantial donation.”
