2015 ROYAL HIGHLAND SHOW INGLISTON

 
A fantastic show of Salers on a dry, but cold showing day faced Salers judge Andrew McConchie at the Royal Highland Show. After a good selection of animals from each class Andrew gave both the champion and reserve champion to females, a good attribute to this maternal breed.
John Elliott’s journey from Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland was well worth it when his homebred cow Drumlegagh Elise born 01/03/2011 sir: Blason, dam: Venise, won overall champion taking the Swardsman Perpetual Trophy, and the QET Perpetual Trophy for the Champion Female. He also took the Best Group of Three Animals.

New Salers breeder Lyle and Sons, Dunblane, Perthshire won reserve champion with Seamore Heffalump born 14/02/2012 sire: Whitebog Dancer, dam: Valsie. Another fine example of this maternal breed.

Champion Bull (The Rumenco Trophy) and Champion Junior Bull (The Cuil Claret Jug) went to Farmstock Genetics with Cumbrian Capermello. a good young bull who will sire some great progeny. Born 31/07/2013 sire: Lataster Hector, dam:Cumbrian Camella 347.
Farmstock Genetics also took Best Pair of Animals.

Junior Female Champion (The Lochdougan Trophy) went to D Watson with Darnford Glory, born 10/03/2014 sire: Chapelpark Ali, dam: Cuil Belinda
