Results from the World Virtual Highland Cattle Show 2024 are in!

Judge Henry Walter Prescott-Ballagh from New Zealand evaluated 251 photo entries from 44 folds, from 9 countries, awarding 1st-4th placements in each class. Prior to seeing the Judge's placements, breeders who entered animals into the show were invited to judge the classes, resulting in People's Choice Awards. It was most interesting to see how closely the People's Choice selections aligned with Judge Prescott-Ballagh's placements. The cream-colored photo edgings are Judge Prescott-Ballagh's choices, the yellow-edged photos are People's Choice awards.

Shat Acres was honored to receive fifteen placements at the 2024 Virtual Show, with most awards bestowed upon cattle from outside the United States: Germany, Luxembourg, Australia, Austria, New Zealand and Canada. What a treat to be in comradery with Highland breeders throughout the world, and to see the quality Highland cattle and genetics being bred both near and far.

Thank you to Trevor Perry of Australia who puts countless hours into putting this annual show together, resizing pictures, matching birthdates and classes, and creating the posts online for all to enjoy. Trevor's dedication to promoting and supporting Highland cattle breeders throughout the world make this Virtual Show possible.

Congratulations to all whose beautiful Highland cattle achieved recognition at the World Virtual Highland Cattle Show 2024!
