Romsey Show 2008

Spice of life

Great jubilation surrounded the success of Spice Nebraska Tulip 2 when she claimed the Inter-breed Championship at the Romsey Show.

Bred and exhibited by Hazel Woodget, there is quite a story of human endeavour behind the Spice herd. The 140 acre farm on the Wiltshire, Dorset border has been home to Hazel since she was 1 year old and it is now the only dairy farm in the parish.

Spice Nebraska Tulip 2 Supreme Inter- breed champion, Romsey Show, 2008 and 1st prize ‘Judges Choice’ South west Jersey Cattle Club Herds Competition.

Along with husband, Mike, there are 60 organic cows, split between Jerseys and Shorthorns. The Jerseys were introduced following the sad death of son, Luke 14 years ago.

Hazel set out to buy older, well proven, cows and has had a closed herd for ten years.

Throughout recent years Hazel has battled against cancer and periods of debilitating treatment remain a feature of their lives.

From such circumstances it is easy to imagine the delight and immense pride which Tulip 2 brought. Her grand-dam was TeeVee Rose Nebraska and sire a homebred son of Blackys Big Time with Lester Sambo and Gwenby bloodlines also in the pedigree.
