Andrew Sleigh from Ellon, Aberdeenshire, travelled to Yorkshire to judge this years entry of Salers. He had a good selection of females to choose from, and it was the females that took the top two spots.
The Salers Breed Champion Trophy went to Rob and Kath Livesey, Melrose, Scottish Borders with Cleuchhead Mhairi 10th, born May 2010, with an April born calf at foot. A good strong, milky mother with a good well formed bull calf showed this maternal breed at its best. Mhairi 10th sired by Valentin has finished her showing career on a high.
Reserve Champion went to Roy and Adam Crocketts Bacardi J-Lo, born April 2014 sired by Gulliver. An excellent heifer which has lots of scope in the showing ring for years to come.
