While there is no doubt this year s Royal Highland Showcase cannot be a patch on the previous world-class livestock events we have all come to love and live for at Ingliston – due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions – it is however, one that has to be hugely admired and relished when the vast majority of such events have either been cancelled or postponed. Having the inspiration and enthusiasm to keep this year s show alive from the onset, when many were dropping off like flies, has not only been a massive undertaking by all the organisers and those behind the scenes, but also the breeders and exhibitors who have enabled The Royal Highland Showcase to finally come to fruition.
Kathy and Russell Bell of Bell Columbias, Gillette, WY, consigned five Columbia rams to the 2020-21 Wyoming Ram Test. Four achieved Certified Columbia Ram status, marking the second year that Bell rams have earned this honor in CSBA’s three year old ram certification program. Of special note is the fact that one of the rams Bell B-181 “CR 005” ranked first on the Wyoming Certified Index, topping all rams and all breeds on a test that included Columbia, Rambouillet, and Targhee. The index is calculated based on the following weighted factors: 25% Average Daily Gain (ADG), 25% Feed Efficiency, 30% Clean Fleece Weight (CFW), and 20% Loin Eye Area (LEA).
