British Livestock Genetics

The Shorthorn Society would like to invite you to the 13th World Shorthorn Conferencewhich is being held in the home of the Shorthorn - where in the late 18th Century, two brothers Charles and Robert Colling, started to improve these Durham cattle using line breeding techniques established so successfully by Robert Bakewell on Longhorn cattle.

You will be able to see the best of British Shorthorns being judged at two of the most famous Agricultural Shows in the United Kingdom – starting with the Royal Highland Show on 23 June 2010 and then the Royal Show in early July, where breeders compete for the most prestigious of prize in the Shorthorn world, the magnificent Colling Brothers Trophy, seen here being presented to Mark Holmes, winner in 2007 and 2008.

In between the two shows you will tour the British Isles from Edinburgh to Stratford upon Avon, sampling both the sights and sounds and visiting some fantastic Beef and Dairy herds. See the website for the details of the draft itinerary. The conclusion is the Conference itself will take place in the heart of Shakespeare country at Stratford upon Avon on 9-10 July 2010.

Please use our expressions of interest form on the website to let us book your interest in being a delegate; we can then keep you updated via email with the useful information.
