Why not join us this summer in having some fun and raising vital funds charity at the same time. Enter our online competition by sending us photographs of your entries, and win as many rosettes as you can.
The rules
Anyone who is a member of the Highland Cattle Society can enter their cattle. Cattle must be registered with the Society too.
Bulls must be birth notified if under 14 months old.
One photograph is required, showing the whole animal. Please can you make the photo about 2MB, larger pics such as 5MB will be okay, but anything bigger and your email (and ours) might start to complain!
There must be no person seen in the photograph, or anything that easily identifies the fold. This means you can take the photo in a field, on the moor, in the woods or in the yard dressed, on a halter, as long as we can’t see you!
You can enter one animal per class, so your maximum number of entries could be eight.
Photographs should be taken anytime from now until the 21 July.
Entries can be sent from 28 June and entries close on 21 July, 2021.
How to enter
Send the entries by email and you must do the following for each class you are entering:
Attach the photograph to the email
In the email subject line, include the class number and the UK number of the animal being entered
Repeat this in the body of the email and add the animal’s date of birth and your fold name
Please do not submit photographs that have been photoshopped.
Entry fees
The entry fee is £5 per class with all proceeds donated to charity. You can pay by BACS quoting your Account Letters, Credit or Debit Card (just ring the office).
If you are on a Direct Debit payment system, this payment will be automatically taken.
