Who do you call, when your livestock judge goes AWOL? In Mark Ormondroyd’s case it was him, around five years ago, at Agri Expo in Borderway Mart in Carlisle.
He’d never judged before, but suddenly he was doing just that at one the most prestigious Hereford cattle shows in the UK. In three weeks Mark, who has been successful showing his Hereford cattle at many shows over the years, with his wife Lisa and daughters Charlotte and Anna, will be back at Honley Show, this time as a judge of Hereford and other native breeds. He’s looking forward to making his decisions, this time with a little more forewarning.
I had to go out and make a living, but there was a small family farm that was tenanted out. I got the tenancy here at Bridle Stile Farm, Queensbury when I was 18 and I bought the farm when I was 30. I now own 20 acres and graze another 20. “I bred Longhorn cattle long before it became a popular breed, in my 20s. We had about 40 at one time, with 15 breeding cows.
