Judge Robert Clarke noted:
“I would like to thank the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society and Worcester Livestock Market for inviting me to judge the spring show and sale. Although numbers were low, there was good consistency in type throughout the bulls and heifers. My Male and Female Champions would not have been out of place in any pedigree herd, and there were good bulls forward to suit any suckler cow. I would encourage more breeders to bring their bulls to this sale, as there were plenty of buyers around the ring.”
