In the 2022 RNA Paddock to Palate competition, Myriam and Simon Daley (pictured right with RNA councillor Liz Allen) proved that commercially-bred cattle from family enterprises can shine brightly.
In a stunning result, the Daley’s Charolais-cross exhibits secured both overall champion carcase and third in the pen of six carcases in the Class 40 100-day HGP free category and second in the pen of six carcases in the Class 37 100-day HGP export class.
It was the first time they had entered a solo entry since 2012.
“It was unbelievable,“ Myriam said. “We had no idea, it was unexpected and exciting.
“I guess all of our passion and hard work has paid off and the challenge now is to maintain that high standard.
“I take my hat off to the team at Palgrove and the Morgan family of The Grove Shorthorns who consistently achieve top results at the Paddock to Palate competition. It takes a lot of hard work.“
