British Simmental cattle, whose origins go back several hundred years to the Simmen valley in Switzerland, were first introduced into the UK in 1970. Since then the breed has grown to be the 4th largest beef breed in the UK and leads the way on the promotion of health in beef breeding cattle. Simmental cattle are probably the most genuine “dual” purpose breed that can be crossed successfully with

any other breed and produce cows which are extremely milky, fertile, docile and with great natural mothering instincts. The breed also possesses tremendous terminal genetics, with excellent growth rates and daily live weight gains of in excess of 2kg/day achievable in an intensive beef finishing system (varied results between heifers, steers and bulls). With farmers seeking to run lower input systems and find ways of reducing costs, Simmental cattle are further increasing in popularity due to their ability to rear a calf on milk and not on concentrates. Coupled with high growth rates and carbon efficiencies, the breed offers a competitive edge and increased profitability in the present climate.

🏆⭐️ROCKING IT! CADE KATHLEEN’S ROCKSTAR WINS SIMMENTAL SUPREME AT THE DEVON COUNTY!⭐️🏆

🔴Rockstar also wins Reserve Interbreed Continental Champion

💥It’s a ‘big up’ to Cade Kathleen’s Rockstar from the Rougemont pedigree herd of Mary Cormack, Leominster, Hereford, who made her 2026 showing debut at the Devon County Show on Thursday 21st May, and where she won the Overall Simmental Supreme Championship. It was also a Simmental showing debut for the Rougemont herd!

🎖️The following day this two-year-old in-calf heifer won the Reserve Interbreed Continental Championship.

🌞Already known affectionately at home as ‘Roxy’, Cade Kathleen’s Rockstar was purchased by Mary Cormack for 15,000gns at the Next generation V Sale at Carlisle in December last year, and from breeders Paul & Sharrie Cade, Buckden, Peterborough.

👉January 2024 born, Rockstar is by Sacombe Jameson 18, and is out of Brandane Kathleen.

😀👊Pictured with this post is of course ‘Roxy’ herself but also a picture of her with Jennifer Hyslop who dressed and showed her, and with owner Mary Cormack. Well done to Mary and her Rougemont Simmental herd, and a great start at this early season fixture, to the Simmental show year!

🔸Ballinalare Farm Nikita Wins Overall Simmental Supreme for fourth consecutive year
🔹Lisglass Sapphire takes Overall Reserve & Junior Champion
🔸Mullynock Scorpio crowned Male Champion

👊Playing a bit of catch up but see here a pictorial round up of the Simmental Champions at the recent RUAS Balmoral Show, Balmoral Park, Co Antrim, and with the Simms judged by John Barlow of the noted Denizes herd, Lancashire.

💥It was another remarkable day for Ballinalare Farm Nikita from Joe & Alan Wilson, Newry, who with her cracking heifer calf at foot, won a record breaking fourth Royal Ulster Balmoral Show Simmental Overall Supreme Championship, on the first day of this early summer ‘major’.

🏅Lifting the Overall Reserve Supreme, the Overall Junior Championship, and the Reserve Female Championship, was the super stylish young heifer Lisglass Sapphire from Leslie & Chris Weatherup, Irish Hill, Ballyclare, Co Antrim. April 2025 born, this calf is another by Raceview King, and is out of Dermody Princess who herself stood Reserve Female to Nikita at Balmoral in 2024, and has also been Reserve Female at the NI Simmental National Show.

👀See the picture round up here of the main winners from the day and well done to all of the exhibitors involved for putting on a quality show of Simmental cattle.
