A PRECIOUS WIN FOR KAIMBURN AT RHS ’22

The much-anticipated return of the Royal Highland Show did not disappoint, the weather was kind, the ringside was full, and Mr Glen Welsh was given the difficult task of judging the Salers classes.

Glen, the farm manager at Garpel Farms for over 10 years, a farm covering over 6,500 acres of mostly hill ground with a cattle enterprise consisting of seventy predominantly Salers cross Galloway cows, with one or two pedigrees. A Salers bull is used to produce replacements and the rest are put to a Charolais. Glen has worked with Salers for twenty years, with the first 10 years spent showing and selling bulls in Castle Douglas, Stirling, and Welshpool, and latterly in the last 10 years, as a hill producer of suckler calves.

Judge – Mr Glen Welsh

He found his overall champion in the overall female champion, Kaimburn Precious from Edgerston Trading (2006) Ltd, brought out by the Ralston family, Neil, Fiona, Greg, and Lewis. Kaimburn Precious was a Cuil Marvin daughter out of Kaimburn Madonna, born on 13 March 2020.

Overall Champion, Female Champion – Kaimburn Precious

In the junior female section Rednock Estates triumphed with Rednock Diana, a Drumaglea Kes daughter out of Rednock Diaz, Diana was crowned junior female champion and later reserve overall junior champion. Lewis Ralston from Jedforest Livestock stood as reserve female junior champion with his homebred Cuil Marvin sired heifer, Jedforest Roxy out of Seamore Nicole Kidman, born on 24 March 2021.

Junior Champion and Junior Female Champion – Rednock Diana brought out by Alfie MacGregor who won the stockman trophy.
Reserve Junior Female Champion – Jedforest Roxy

The reserve female champion and reserve overall champion was Bacardi Miss Moneypenny with her heifer calf at foot Bacardi Rhea. Miss Moneypenny was born on 3rd April 2017 and out of Cleuchhead Delilah 3rd and sired by the 2013 RHS Champion, imported bull, Gulliver.

Reserve Overall Champion and Reserve Female Champion – Bacardi Miss Moneypenny

From the same herd, Mr Glen Welsh found his junior male champion, male champion, and overall junior champion in Bacardi Rodney from Roy & Adam Crockett. Bacardi Rodney was bred the same way as the reserve overall champion being sired by Gulliver and out of Cleuchhead Delilah 3rd.

Male Champion, Junior Champion and Junior Male Champion – Bacardi Rodney

Edgerston Trading (2006) Ltd also won the reserve junior male championship and stood as reserve male champion with Kaimburn Ronaldo, a Bacardi Ladysman sired bull out of Oaklands impulse.

Reserve Junior Male Champion and Reserve Male Champion – Kaimburn Ronaldo

The pairs competition was won by Kaimburn with the overall champion Kaimburn Precious and the reserve male champion Kaimburn Ronaldo. Cleuchhead took second spot in the pairs with Cleuchhead Rockefeller and Cleuchhead Ranger but took the spotlight in the group of three, winning with Cleuchhead Mhairi 1130, Cleuchead Rockefeller and Cleuchhead Ranger.

In most judging scenarios the star of the show is generally the animal, the champion, but equally impressive on show day and indeed for the whole Royal Highland Show was, Lewis Ralston a young enthusiastic breeder who under his own ‘jedforest’ prefix brought out the reserve junior female champion, Jedforest Roxy, as well as the Champion for Edgerston Trading (2006) Ltd and went on to win the 12-14 year old beef young handler section, the overall beef young handler competition and then took the Royal Highland Show Overall Young Handler title on Sunday 26 June 2022.  

2022 RHS Overall Young Handler – Lewis Ralston

The Society would like to congratulate Lewis and all the Ralston family for such a tremendous achievement at the show, as well as congratulate and thank all the Salers exhibitors for a magnificent line-up of Salers cattle.
