A well-known Limousin show cow from Robert and Jean Graham’s Stirling-based herd was crowned overall champion of champions at a glorious Perth Show.
Grahams Ruth, a 4.5-year-old cow that made up part of the inter-breed team at the Royal Highland, Great Yorkshire and the Royal Welsh in 2023 and 2024, and has secured numerous breed and inter-breed championships in between, looked every bit as bright and sharp as she did when she scooped the overall champion of champions award at Ayr Show in May.
She was selected supreme overall by a panel of judges who had to choose a winner from the inter-breed sheep, cattle, heavy horse, and goat title holders.
Ruth was paraded with her impressive November-born bull calf at foot, Grahams Utopia, a Huntershall Gladiator son, by stockman Stewart Bett and his wife Lynsey. She was described by the judges as an ‘excellent cow’.
David Watson, Banchory and Archie MacGregor, Kilsyth, the inter-breed beef and sheep judges respectively, said the Limousin had outstanding presence and was so correct with a great top line. She was also tapped out as supreme for being full of breed character and having a great calf.
Adding to the Grahams’ celebrations, Ruth and the relatively new stock bull Garrowby Tarzan, a 12,000gns purchase at Carlisle in October 2023, scooped the inter-breed beef pairs while Lily Smith (10) from Huntly won the overall cattle young handlers when parading Ruth’s calf Utopia.
The judges were also most impressed by the supreme sheep, a two-crop Suffolk ewe from Robert Bryce, who was winning a second inter-breed sheep championship here.
His showstopper is another that has made her presence felt all summer, having stood inter-breed sheep at Dunblane Show and champion at Gargunnock.
In a mirror image of the cattle pairs, the Chalmerston Suffolk ewe by Strathview Hashtag also teamed up with Mr Bryce’s male champion, a two-shear Sitlow-bred ram, to win the inter-breed sheep pairs
Mr MacGregor found his reserve individual in the south-type Blackface champion, a gimmer by a £32,000 Glenrath from Matthew Hamilton and son Matthew, South Cobbinshaw, West Lothian.
He also tapped out a south-type Blackface from Mairi Paterson and son Robert, Dunruchan, as champion in the inter-breed male Blackface championship against the north-type. This was a three-shear ram bought for £10,000 from Williamhope as a shearling at Lanark, in partnership with Tinnis.
Dutch Spotted picked up the runner-up in the sheep pairs.
David Watson, who breeds Salers cattle at Darnford, Banchory, also had a busy day.
Having given the Limousins the winning slap in the individual and pairs competition, he found his reserve in both sections in commercials from Wilson Peters, Cuilt Farmhouse, Monzie, Crieff.
Reserve overall was CC Cindy, a rising two-year-old home-bred Limousin heifer that also boasts numerous championships to her name which teamed up with another black Limousin from Mr Peters to land the reserve inter-breed pairs.
A Limousin also won the inter-breed continental juniors. This was Ronald and Stephanie Dick’s Ronick Untamed, a 17-month-old bull by Millgate Ohboy, from Mains of Throsk, Stirling.
Native junior and overall junior champion however, was the Aberdeen-Angus heifer Idvies Eliza, a 15-month-old from Richard Hassall and Rachel Wyllie, Brailes Livestock. Bought privately from the Fraser family, this Duncanziemere Jacobite daughter was brought out by Richard and Carol Rettie.
There was more success for the six-year-old yeld Clydesdale mare, Lutterington Butterfly too, when she scooped the breed and ridden section plus the overall native horse championship. Bred by Harry Emmerson and shown by Pete Black, Newton of Collessie, Ladybank, she has already qualified for HOYS.
Standing next to her for the supreme native horse was the lead standard Shetland pony, Harviestoun Penelope, a three-year-old filly from Katie Leavey, Dollar.
Also out in the main ring for the overall champion of champions was the lead goat, Hannah Campbell’s two-year-old British nanny Capitol Juliet, that was supreme at Ayr, Dunblane and the Border Union.
