Well-supported classes provided stiff competition in all sections at the Royal Welsh Show, Llanelwedd, on Monday 22nd July, proudly overseen by breed judge Paul Pennington, Bridgnorth, who found his Breed Champion in senior bull class winner Castleton Ken from CMB, JAW & DM Wright, Tretower.
Bringing home the Legge-Bourke Perpetual Trophy for the second year in a row with the same homebred bull, the Wright family also picked up the prize for Male Champion.
The Reserve Breed Championship went to the Female Champion Dallyashes Tapestry (VG88), a 4-year-old third calver with her heifer calf Dallyashes Tiara at foot, bred and exhibited by Mrs A Hamilton, Llanpumpsaint.
Other winning exhibitors included Mrs R Pugh, whose 2-year-old in-calf heifer Amaroo Pommery won the senior heifer class and was pulled forward as Reserve Female Champion, whilst Mr M Kennett’s 2-year-old bull Cadarn Cargo stood as Reserve Male Champion.
Winners in the two junior sections both came from the Alcroft herd of Miss S Cook, Cambridge, topping a large class of heifers with the yearling Alcroft Beetle, as well as the junior bull class with Alcroft Panther, both sired by Nidderdale Aladdin (EX91).
The BWCS congratulates the many exhibitors at this year’s show for putting forward such a strong entry - one of the largest of any breed at the event this year - which was commented on by judge Paul Pennington as having “fantastic quality throughout every class”.
