Trustees’ Report
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
Where have three years gone? When I was initially approached by Council to be Chairman of the Society three years ago it seemed like a long time but then I looked at in breeding terms A bull that I purchased in the spring of 2020 with much potential was put to the cows, and in early 2021 a young female calf was born, eager to see the world. It grew all through 2021 and 2022 and it’s just calved as a 2-year-old, showing all its potential. Breeding of livestock is a long-term investment and three years is just one generation on a pedigree certificate.
This past year has seen a return of all the usual Society activities. The Spring Show and Sale in Exeter saw the highest average for nearly ten years. Our thanks must go to Mark Davis and the team at Kivells for facilitating the event once more in their usual professional manner. At the AGM on the preceding night, in her absence Margaret Plain was appointed as our Society President. My condolences go to her and all her family for the loss of her husband Keith, but I would like to thank her for supporting all the Society events with great enthusiasm throughout the year under such difficult circumstances.
It was great to have shows back to a more normal feel and the National Show that was held at the Devon County Show again saw a large number forward. Queen of the breed was named and how wonderful for the President to be able to award the overall champion to her daughter Alex with their home bred cow, Z Foxhole Clover.
Many regional farm walks too place over the year and our thanks must go to all those who took the time and effort to promote the breed in such a manner. There have been a number of dispersal sales of members herds this year, and a particular note must be given to the Lumbylaw herd where Exeter market saw tremendous trade, breaking previous records for a bull, cow and yearling heifer at a UK South Devon dispersal, with over 50 purchasers from all over the UK.
Another major milestone for the Society has been the launch of ‘Single Step’ evaluations in August which sees the culmination of many years of development and will now see, where there is a correlation, an increase in accuracy. The combination of this along with historical pedigrees and type classification now gives us a breeders even more tools in the box to be able to progress our herds in the direction that we see fit.
It was with great pleasure that members had the opportunity to view the winners of the National Herd Competition at Cutsey Farm, Taunton by the kind invitation of Edward and Sian Hawkins. Everyone who attended could only be impressed by the cattle and the impeccable grassland management, proving what can achieved from grass leys with minimal artificial fertiliser, an this was most definitely in the minds of most of us this year due to the massive increased in farm input costs.
It was with great sadness that the year has again seen the passing of some of our members, but I feel that it is very important to mention two in particular:
Firstly, Mr Douglas Scott who shaped the Society holding many position and who led by example with his famous Grove herd. My sincere condolences go to Mrs Scott and all her family. And secondly Mr Richard Harvey whose Sexton herd has been at the forefront of the breed for over 70 years with countless time spent for the benefit of the South Devon Herd Book Society. Once again, my sincere condolences go to all the family. They will both be greatly missed for their wealth and depth of knowledge of the breed.
The Autumn Show and Sale was again held at Worcester and thanks must go to Clive Rhodes and all at McCartney’s. Trade was very slow and greater support is needed by all so that we can continue to market our pedigree stock at this time of the year in the heart of the country.
As you can see from the accounts presented to you, we have sustained a small loss in our trading position with our investment portfolio recovering after a mid-year fall. Cumulative trading losses cannot continue indefinitely and need to be addressed sooner rather than later to put the Society in a stronger position over the coming years. In December a review group was set up to consider all aspects and workings of the Society. Together with comments and suggestions received by you – the members – a report of the present position and future direction of the Society was presented to the Council at the February meeting with recommendations for their consideration. Council must now take this opportunity to implement what they see fit for the benefit of you, the members, and the South Devon Herd Book Society’s future. This will not be an easy task but one that is of the upmost importance.

Trustees’ Report
Finally, as my tenure as Chairman comes to an end, I would like to thank all those who have given their time to the Society, our Breed Secretary Caroline and Registrations Manager Liz in the office, our President Margaret Plain and everyone else who has served on various committees throughout the year. May I wish Edward every success in steering the South Devon Herd Book Society to a sustainable future in the 21[st] century and beyond.

P Laity (Chairman) C J Edwards R E Hadley R V Hartshorn E G Hawkins N Hood M R Rowe
Subsidiary committees – Breed Improvement and Breed Promotion – met during the year to formulate and carry out policy as directed by Council. Their members were appointed by Council. In addition, Judges Advisers met once with the Executive Committee.
Staff of the Society
The Breed Secretary, Mrs Caroline Poultney, has day to day responsibility for the running of the business. This includes promoting the breed nationally and overseas, organising events, sourcing advice for members and nonmembers, producing the Society’s information publications and breed journal, and overseeing production of the Herd Book. She also advises the Council on policy matters and decisions. Mrs E Noble administers animal registrations and pedigree transfers, DNA records, member and animal records, and assists with office administration. A part-time bookkeeper maintains the Society’s accounting records.
Objectives
The Society exists to maintain the purity and improve the breeding of South Devon cattle in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or elsewhere throughout the world. This is carried out by:
-
Producing and maintaining the South Devon Herd Book records
-
Encouraging pedigree registrations, performance recording and DNA testing
-
Advising members and the public through the media, and periodic publications
-
Holding pedigree sales
-
Promoting the breed at regional and national agricultural shows
-
Recruiting new members
-
Initiating research projects associated with breed development as appropriate
Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 (5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The Society seeks to inform the public and its members of the benefits of breeding South Devon cattle including its suitability for environmental schemes and low carbon mixed farming practices. It carries this out through its publications, website, social media platform, staging of publicity and information events, and participation at public industry events such as agricultural shows, exhibitions and open days. It sponsors youth activities and holds competitions specifically for younger members.
Through its work the Society promotes the South Devon breed as a grazing beef breed native to the UK, whose management helps to safeguard the environment in a high welfare, environmentally sustainable, low carbon emitting way by converting pasture to a high quality, healthy, consumable product.

Trustees’ Report
Review of activities
2022 saw a partial return to regular agricultural and breed events which have been severely affected by the Covid pandemic. A return to in-person engagement with members of the public, members of the Society and enquirers was re-established as the most successful means of carrying out the Society’s main activities.
External global events, particularly Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, had significant repercussions on the costs of energy and fertiliser, challenging the farming sector as well as the worldwide industrial and economic base to put in place alternative practices. This in addition to the increasing impacts of climate change, issues of carbon emissions, continuing changes to the agricultural financial support system, plus Brexit implications made for considerable uncertainty in future farming practices.
By contrast the beef market was firm throughout the year, encouraging the culling of older stock and an overall reduction in suckler cow numbers. Fewer younger females were put forward for pedigree registration; whilst measures put in place by the Trustees to authenticate the pedigrees of older females at time of registration resulted in an initial increase in pedigree numbers which will not be a sustainable trend.
By comparison with the previous year male registrations were a few less at 224, but female registrations rose by 367. Pedigree transfers saw an increase in the previous period of 6 males, and an increase of 128 for females largely due to three dispersal sales in the summer.
In addition to pedigree registrations members are offered a range of services including free weight recording, DNA testing, and a regular information service. Society regions arrange local events for members and guests, such as farm walks.
The two premier Society Sales were held in the spring and autumn but support was weaker than pre-pandemic levels. The Midland Club sale was cancelled due to lack of numbers, but the South Devon Cattle Breeders Club May sale was a t
Genomic evaluations were published for the first time in August 2022, when the genomic predictor work reached its conclusion having required a much lower deployment of Society resources than had been allocated in 2014. This addition of valuable genetic information transitioned smoothly, with the final stage of adding newly aligned indexes ready to be applied in the early months of 2023. The South Devon breed was the first to claim this new technology, with other breeds following behind.
The Society invested in breed stands at the Royal Cornwall, Devon County (National Show) and Royal Welsh Shows, Beef Expo Darlington (Performance Championships); Agri-Expo Carlisle; Agri-Fest Exeter; and English Winter Fair (National Calf Show).
The Society’s publications during the year included: the breed Journal; sale catalogues; semen lists; monthly BLUP evaluations; and regular newsletters. In addition the Society’s social media pages were regularly populated with news by two members acting on a voluntary basis.
A South Devon bull was selected by the breed improvement committee to be collected primarily for sale to dairy herds, and a second bull was acquired by Genus for sexed semen collection.
The Society increased its financial incentives: to offer a free weight recording service to all members; to encourage a higher level of registrations at birth by offering credits against registration fees for non-breeding animals; to encourage membership of herd health schemes; and to subsidise the myostatin testing of registered bulls.
Financial review
The gross incoming resources for the year amounted to £233,829 (£199,012 in 2021). Total expenditure was £234,148 (£214,096 in 2021).
The results from the year from normal activities show a deficit of £319 compared to a deficit of £15,084 in the previous 12 months. There were net realised losses from investments of £54,376 (gains of £69,939 in 2021), resulting in a total net movement in funds of (£54,695). The total investment portfolio value at the end of the year stood at £485,224 (£544,731 in 2021). Total charity funds at the end of the year stood at £589,050 (£643,744 at the end of 2021).

Investment Policy and Preference
The Society’s investment objective is to maintain and enhance the value of the fixed assets over the long term to maintain and, if possible, to increase the income available for the purpose of the charity.
To achieve this objective the policy of the Society is to invest in a broad range of equities and fixed interest investments. The investments are regularly reviewed with the assistance of independent expertise and their performance compared with the appropriate indices.
Future Plans
A Business Plan is revised annually, which outlines the Society’s objectives: to maintain the purity, improve the breeding, and promote the keeping of South Devon cattle in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in the world. Plans include the continued raising of the integrity of pedigree data; facilitating the availability of pedigree and other related information to members and non-members; encouraging the use of technical aids such as DNA testing and female type classification; promoting the breed to commercial beef producers; encouraging best practice in herd health; and the application of genomic EBVs for breed improvement and breeding selection.
Risk Assessment
The Society’s Risk Assessment has been reviewed in 2022, and a Register of Risks is maintained. Measures to reduce the exposure to risk are regularly reviewed. The Society has in place measures to acquire member permission for publication of their contact details on the website and in paper publications to protect personal data.
Reserves Policy
Unrestricted reserves at the end of the year totalled £589,050, of which £63,733 has been designated by the Trustees for particular purposes (as shown in the notes to the full accounts). This left general reserves of £525,317. The Trustees aim to maintain these reserves at a level sufficient to cover business running costs for a period of 12 months, taking into account the particular volatility of the agricultural industry. In addition, the policy is to keep surplus funds available for allocation to specific breed improvement and/or breed promotion activities as and when decided by the Trustees.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of South Devon Herd Book Society for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: Westpoint Clyst St Mary Exeter Devon EX5 1DJ
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 3 April 2023.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
South Devon Herd Book Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Page 13
South Devon Herd Book Society
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Donated services and facilities
Where services or facilities are provided to the Charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers, this benefit is included in the financial statements at its fair value unless its fair value cannot be reliably measured, then at the cost to the donor or the resale value of goods that are to be sold.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

South Devon Herd Book Society
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £100.00 or more (other than trophies) are initially recorded at cost. Trophies are recorded as a donation at valuation and are capitalised in the year of donation.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Show equipment and trophies | 10% reducing balance |
| Office equipment | 20% reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | 20% reducing balance |
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Foreign exchange
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date.
The results of overseas operations are translated at the average rates of exchange during the period and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation of the opening net assets and results of overseas operations are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
Other exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they arise except for:
1) exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks (see above);
2) exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in other comprehensive income; and
3) in the case of the consolidated financial statements, exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported under equity.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Debt instruments
Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method:
(a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; (ii) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate; or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate.
(b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged.
(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law; or (ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a).
(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.
(e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law.
(f) Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c).
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.
With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Derivative financial instruments
The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in statement of financial activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
Fair value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
