The royal show took place from 26 May to 4 June 2023 in Pietermaritzburg. The KZN Sim Club hosted both the Simbra and Simmentaler breeds at their Royal showground’s clubhouse for the last time. The KZN Sim Club did a fantastic job with all stalls being organised, all meals and drinks supplied and even supplying two meals for handlers. A heartfelt thank you to Byron and Chantel Watson and their committee for a memorable show at your club. The Simbras were judged by Org Mare, Chris Richter and Fanie Mare JNR, thank you to the judges for your dedication and brilliant judging.
