The Welsh Black Cattle Society was formed in 1904. During
2004 the Society is celebrating it's centenary of recording pedigree
Welsh Black cattle.
The Royal Welsh Show held during July 2004 will be a focal point
for member celebrations.
During the Show delegates from Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
America and Germany will be in attendance. During the week the delegates
hope to attend an International Conference and one delegate from
each Country will be invited to address the audience, about their
involvement in the breeding and improvement of the quality of Welsh
Black cattle in their home country.
Mrs Jenny Buckton, from Victoria in Australia, will launch a book
which is dedicated to the evolution of the breed and its progress
and development over the years.
The official launch will take place at the 2004 Royal Welsh Show
and it is anticipated that the Society's Patron, His Royal Highness
The Prince of Wales, will be present at the launch and signing of
the first book.
On the Tuesday evening of the 2004 Show a Centenary Dinner for
up to 400 members will take place on the Showground.
Whilst the Society does not celebrate it's actual 100th birthday
until 24th August 2004 events will be organised and confirmed in
due course to enable as many members and friends of the Society
to become actively involved.
