Hereford Regional Calf Show confirmed for 2012

Organisers of the Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show are delighted to announce that, following the success of its inaugural event at the venue last year, the Midlands & East Anglia Hereford Breeders Association (MEAHBA) Regional Calf Show will once again take place as part of the Native & Rare Breeds Exhibition.

The Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show, which takes place on 10 and 11 November, will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2012. The Native & Rare Breeds Exhibition was introduced in 2008 and, like the main event, has grown in size and visitor popularity year on year.

Michael Church of the MEAHBA Calf Show organising sub-committee said: "Everyone was pleased with the help we received at Newark, help that ensured we had a very successful show. The event, with its focus on heritage and native breeds gives us the ideal opportunity to showcase Hereford calves and the next generation of breeders with our Young Handler classes."

Adrian Johnston, Newark & Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society Chief Executive, added: "We were very pleased to welcome the regional Hereford Calf Show last year, which gave a new dimension to what is becoming recognised as a superb show.
