The Greenslade Family of Ponchydown Dairy in Cullompton are the winners of the Addington Guernsey Heifer raffle drawn last week.
The heifer which has been kept and shown by Brian and Sheila Adams near Langport, has scooped first prizes at Devon, Cornwall and Bath and West Shows, as well as clinching best in-calf heifer at Shepton Mallet.
The project began in Spring 2010 when John Berry, former Chairman of the English Guernsey Cattle Society, donated Aber Showtime Dancer 5 (more affectionately known as Claudia) to the farming charity.
The raffle has raised a fantastic £3940 for charity which assists farmers in financial crisis as well as providing housing for those needing to leave or retire from the industry with no other option available to them.
Ian Bell, Fund Director commented “Our extended thanks go to everyone who has taken an interest, been involved or bought at ticket in this unique project. The money that Claudia has raised will go directly towards supporting Britain’s Families. Please be assured that no donation made to Addington will be used on running costs”
The charity are indebted to the projects sponsors, not least Riverside Feeds who have supplied all of Claudia’s feed for the last year.
