SALERS SUCCESS IN ASDA STEAK COMPETITION

An excellent line up of Salers cattle was to be found in the exhibitors hall at the Balmoral Show, Rob Livesey stepped in to judge the Salers after Jock Watson had to stand down due to ill health, we wish Jock well.
Alongside the top quality offering in the pedigree rings, a Salers cross heifer won the Northern Irish Asda/ABP Beeflink Steak Competition.

The steak from a 23 month old Salers sired heifer won the top accolade in the first Asda/ABP Beeflink steak compettion of the summer season at the Royal Ulster Show. The steak came from a 343kg carcass consigned to ABP’s Lurgan abbattoir by Downpatrick based Brendan Starkey, the carcass graded U-3. This highlights the quality of meat the breed produces.

Established and new breeders brought out a quality entry in the Salers rings to impress Judge Rob Livesey who travelled from the Scottish Borders to attend the 144th Annual Balmoral Show.
He found his pick of the day in the mighty brood cow “Unity” from John Elliott and family, Newtownstewart. This imported French cow has enjoyed an amazing show career to date chalking up an incredible 5 Breed Championships at Balmoral.
George McCall travelled from Armagh to enjoy a successful show laying claim to the Reserve Supreme Championship with his French heifer “Fiere”. This heifer was purchased recently as a new bloodline for the Carrick View herd.
“Drumlegagh Elyna” secured the Junior Championship for the Elliott Family. This smart homebred heifer is sired by the herd’s senior stock bull Blason and out of Drumlegagh Rosy.
D Clements & Sons, Portaferry were in Reserve position in the Junior Championship with their quality yearling bull “Emerald Icarus”. This red ticket winner was bred by the exhibitor, and sired by the French bull Turbulent.
Laying claim to the award for the best entry bred by exhibitor was PJ Maginn and Sons, Downpatrick. This was for their five year old stock bull “Lisnamaul Buster” which is by Omer.
