British Blue Cattle Society

An invitation from the Herd Book Blanc Bleu Belge to join the congress of Belgian Blue International - Denmark

Dear Members

We are delighted to invite you to the BBI Congress, which will be held by our Danish friends in July.

We are sending you a full programme of what will be organised jointly with the Danish Herd-Book.

We would like to draw your attention that, for the first time, this Congress is open to all breeders of the Belgian Blue breed and not only to members of the Boards.

For the quality of the programme and the friendly atmosphere, we hope to see you there. more details
