Taking the top honours was the much-admired Uppermill Lovely Lissue sired by Glenisla Jackpot. This beautiful roan young cow was accompanied by her smart heifer calf at foot.
Judging the event was Allan Jackson, Headlind, who travelled across from Lanark to place the classes, representing breeders from right across the Province.
Standing in the reserve spot was a flashy yearling heifer from William and George Gott Shankhill Dodsie Roxanna. This May 2021-born heifer is sired by DRS Super Mario.
Northern Ireland breeders turned out in force for this prestigious event which is a feature each year in the calendar. In addition to regular faces on the show circuit, the Club was delighted to see new entrants this year as well as many younger enthusiasts showing for the first time.
The Uppermill team were back in the colours winning a further two classes on the day as well as the best pair from one exhibitor. The final red rosettes were awarded to Leanne Green and Tommy Jackson.
