  • A family-owned farm shop in Shropshire has won a host of awards for its prize-winning Hereford cattle

The Timmis family, who run the Moor Farm Shop in Baschurch, attended the Hereford Cattle Society’s annual Christmas calf show at Shrewsbury Livestock Market.

The store was awarded the Reserve Supreme Champion and Male Champion for its 12-month-old Shraden One Henson. It also took first prize in the commercial heifer category.

Hazel Timmis, co-owner of the farm shop, said, “We are all absolutely delighted with our recent successes. We took ten calves to the show and were thrilled to come away with the Reserve Supreme Champion and five other firsts.

“Our herd dates back to 1919 and we have been breeding Hereford cattle since 1981. We are dedicated to delivering the finest quality meat to our customers,” she added.

Mrs Timmis also came second in the stockman’s handling class. Her daughter, Elaine, gained first place in the young handler category.
