BOWER BOYS GET 3RD IN NATIONAL CATTLE DRESSING COMPETITION
On the 5th of November in Perth Auction Mart, Bower YF had a team
competing in both the national cattle dressing competition and the
national sheep dressing competition. Brothers, James and Will Barnetson
from Lynegar took part in the national sheep dressing but were unlucky not
to be placed. James Barnetson and Stuart Mackay took part in the
cattle dressing. They secured their place in the national competition by
coming first at both the district and north region eliminations and did
extremely well to be placed 3rd as there was some very stiff competition.
Karen Oliphant, chairperson of the the club, said "On behalf of Bower YF I
would like to say how proud we are of the team. To come 3rd out of the
whole of Scotland is an amazing achievement, very well done." |
