This has been a busy year for Barry and Elaine Ducherer of River Hill Farm, near Neilburg, as they have been showing their Speckle Park cattle. They travelled to the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup and also to Farmfair in Edmonton.
Then, Nov. 19, the Ducherers were off to Agribition in Regina for a long week. They had an excellent sale with one heifer calf going to Nova Scotia and another one to Ontario. At Agribition, River Hill Farm had the Grand Champion Bull; Champion Bull calf; Junior Champion Heifer; along with Heifer Calf and Reserve Grand Champion.
The whole family worked hard to achieve these honours, including Barry's wife, Elaine, daughter Carla and son Cory.
Barry observed there seems to be a lot of interest in the breed. He is looking forward to the New Year and would like to invite everyone to his annual Summit 3 heifer and bull sale March 31 in Edmonton at the Northlands Farm and Ranch show at Northlands. In addition, visitors are always welcome at the farm.
