At our annual meeting and dinner, at the Anchor Inn at Whixley, after many years as secretary to the group Ann Gates has finally handed over to our new secretary Louise Gidney. Ann has taken over as the chairman, and the rest of the committee has agreed to stand for the following year.
We welcome Aimee Harrison to our committee. Aimee has been involved in Dexter’s since almost before she could walk, and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to handling and showing cattle.
If you are thinking of joining the group, details of how to contact Louise are available by down loading a membership form. Or e-mailing her at Secretary peasants@rentapeasant.co.uk

Our last event in 2016 was our calf show held at Thirsk Auction Mart by invitation of the Aberdeen Angus Society who organises this event. It is open to other cattle societies to hold their own shows along with the A.A Northern Group, thus keeping the costs down and creating a busy atmosphere.
Although our entries where probably the lowest they have been for a while, due to a couple of our regular exhibitors not being present.
However it was lovely to see one new exhibitor doing well with their youngster.
Mary Kay very kindly agreed to be our judge and the results are as follows
Class 1 (3 – 8mths)
1st Beedham’s Northbrook Can Can
2nd Sykes’s Hillgrove Jeanie
3rd Sykes’s Hillgrove Red May
