2016 ROYAL ULSTER SHOW (BALMORAL)

SALERS MAKE HISTORY AT THE BALMORAL SHOW

DRU TEAM WEB

The Winning Pair Drumlegagh Galaxy and Drumlegagh Hamish

For the first time Salers cattle dominated the Interbreed Pairs Championship at the recent Balmoral Show with judge Neil Lloyd describing them as

“In a league of their own”.

The winning pair were Drumlegagh Galaxy and Drumlegagh Hamish brought out by the Elliott family, Newtownstewart. The tremendous young cow who formed part of the top duo was also tapped out breed champion under the expert eye of judge Carolyn Fox.
Both of these prize winners are owned by Kirsten and Ryan Elliott, and father John couldn’t be happier how his children’s cattle performed.
“Winning the Salers Championship in itself is a great achievement, but to then stand top of the line in the highly sought after Interbreed Pairs line up is a dream come true. The Salers breed has so much to offer, and the feedback we received at Balmoral Show was the best ever.”
The Supreme Champion is a rising three year old home bred cow with full French breeding on both sides of her pedigree, being out of the award winning cow Unity and sired by Fanfan.
Standing in the Reserve Championship spot was Robert Miller, Larne with a super young bull from his Ballywillan herd. This November 2014 born entry is sired by Horace, and out of the imported Haiti.
The Junior Championship was picked up by “Drumlegagh Kyra” from J & EA Elliott. Fanfan was also the sire of this well made January heifer, out of the homebred Drumlegagh Elise.
Ernest Gregg was awarded the Reserve Junior Championship for a February born son of Houblon from his Ballybollen herd based at Ballymena. The Gregg Family enjoyed a great show also securing a red ticket with their five year old stock bull “Monanaleen Lolly”.
One of the highlights of the three day show, which is the highlight of the NI agric calendar, was the grand parade which saw a large number of Salers cattle make their way to the main arena where they were admired by thousands of viewers.
