Overall Supreme Champion - Sauvignon
|
Sauvignon, exhibited by the Crawford
Brothers, Maguiresbridge,
Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland continued his fantastic show record
this year when being awarded the Limousin Championship and Reserve
Supreme Champion Interbreed titles at the Great Yorkshire Show
on Tuesday 11th July 2006. Having stood Reserve Male Champion
at the Royal Show, he went one better here.
Amid glorious sunshine in Harrogate, the Limousin judging had
been a keenly fought affair under the watchful eye of judge Mr
Alastair Graham of Tandragee, Co Armagh, N Ireland with French-bred
bull Sauvignon finally receiving the Doug Lewis Perpetual Challenge
Trophy from Mrs Sarah Cooper of Ripon Select Foods Ltd, who kindly
sponsored the Limousin classes. It was a tremendous day for the
Crawfords who went on to attain the Junior Limousin Championship
as well as the Interbreed Junior Championship with their bull
Vigot who had earlier stood Reserve to Sauvignon in the Limousin
male classes.
Standing Reserve Overall was the Female Champion and Royal Show
Burke Trophy winning in-calf heifer Kaprico Ultimate brought
forward by AK & C Stafford, Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and
Wear. Reserve Female was the rising six year old cow Ravenellle
from DA Williams, Shifnal, Shrops. Christine Williams and Richard
Bartle also secured the Reserve Junior Championship with Wilodge
Venelle.
On the Wednesday, Vigot and Wilodge Venelle teamed up with another
Kaprico heifer and first prize winner Kaprico Athena together
with Spage Vanilla from Mr W Campbell, Carnlough, Ballymena,
N Ireland to convincingly win the Junior Interbreed Team competition.
Earlier, a combination of Sauvignon, Millington Tangerine, Kaprico
Ultimate and Kaprico Athena had stood second reserve in the Interbreed
Team competition.
Not only in the pedigree sector but also in the commercial ring,
did Limousins shine through. Taking the Commercial Beef Supreme
Championship and along with it the Page Championship Trophy was
a Limousin-cross heifer from BE Williams, Station Court, Sennybridge,
Powys. Amid strong competition, this August 2005 born Limousin-sired
heifer out of a Limousin cross cow, Miss Royal, - herself a 18
times summer show champion – was bred by Andrew Powell,
The Grove, Knighton, Powys and shown by Sally Lloyd got the final
nod from judge Mr S Watson, Carnoustie, Angus. Reserve Supreme
Champion was Limousin-cross steer from Mr N Slack. The Reserve
Champion steer from Messrs AD & A Richardson was again Limousin
sired and the Reserve Heifer Champion from the Black N Blue Show
Team & Mr T Burnett was once more out of a Limousin cross
cow.
