The Salers classes were kindly sponsored by JOSEPH WALLS LTD and were judged by Mr Iain Livesey of the Cleuchhead herd of pedigree Salers.
The number of Salers forward for judging was on par with other years and the quality in the classes was exceptional, giving Iain a very tough job indeed. He found his Overall Champion (Highways Hotel Cup) in the Female Championship, Lisnamaul Princess from Lisnamaul Salers, Downpatrick, Co Down. Princess was a Nemo sired March-2020 heifer out of Lisnamaul Molly. She also won the Wallets Marts Shield for the Best Home-Bred Animal and was brought out on the day by breeder, Stephen Maginn.
Standing Reserve Overall Champion (Highways Hotel Cup) was the Reserve Female Champion, Drumlegagh Monique, from J & E A Elliott, a Fanfan sired, September-2017 born daughter out of Drumlegagh Eve who had stood first in the cow class.
The Elliott family were also victorious in the interbreed competitions taking the Reserve Continental Interbreed Pairs title with Drumlegagh Nebraska and Drumlegagh Monique with her bull calf at foot. The same team brought out by John, Kirsten and Ryan Elliot were awarded 3rd place in the very strongly competed class, the Exhibitor Bred Pairs.
In the Junior section the Junior Female Champion, Brookfields Ruthie from Geoff Wilson went head-to-head with the Junior Male Champion, Lisnamaul Rocky for the Overall Junior Championship title and the Francis Connon Cup. Once again, this maternal breed saw the female, Brookfields Ruthie take the title and the reserve was awarded to the Reserve Junior Female Champion, Lisnamaul Rebecca who won the Salers Cattle Society Area 4 Cup.
J & E A Elliot won the Salers Cattle Society Cup for the best pair of animals owned by one exhibitor and the Salers Cattle Society Cup for the best turned out animal was presented to B & P O’Kane for Brookfields Abbey who has stood second in the cow class. The coveted Stockman’s Shield was awarded to Lena Ginhac from France who had assisted Drumlegagh Salers during the show.
The Society are enormously grateful to Joseph Walls Ltd for their support and sponsorship of the Salers classes, and we would especially like to thank Mr Chris Walls for his presence during the judging, as well as the after-show trophy presentation. We applaud the organisers of Balmoral Show for hosting such a fabulous event and congratulate all the exhibitors for a fantastic display of Salers cattle. Finally, we give a heartfelt thanks to Iain Livesey and his wife Sarah who travelled from Scotland to judge.
