This years Scottish Grand Prix was held at a very wet and windy Turriff Show on Monday the 4th of August 2025. Attracting the cream of Limousin breeding from Scotland, exhibitors battled the difficult conditions to provide a tremendous line up of Limousin cattle with 43 animals forward in what is a hotly contested event on the Scottish show calendar.
Judging duties were in the capable hands of Craig Douglas, stockman at the Whinfellpark herd. In what was a day for the Limousin females, Craig awarded his overall Limousin champion to the female champion, Grahams Umandy from R & J Graham, Airthrey Kerse Dairy Farm, Stirling. This November 2023 born heifer is sired by Gunnerfleet Lion and is out of the Wilodge Vantastic daughter Ironstone Dumandy. Not stopping there Grahams Umandy went on to dominate the beef interbreed sections teaming up with stable mate Grahams Vibrent to be crowned champion interbreed pairs. She then went on to be crowned overall interbreed champion and not stopping there, then claiming the coveted champion of champions title. This follows on from success at the Highland show where Umandy clinched reserve female champion.
The Grahams family enjoyed further success also claiming the male champion and junior male champion accolades with the Gunnerfleet Lion son, Grahams Vibrent. His dam is the Claragh Franco daughter Grahams Precious, who herself was a previous Highland Show Champion. Vibrant too enjoyed interbreed success claiming the interbreed young bull champion.
Reserve male champion went to Garry Patterson with Aultside Ulex. This December 2023 born bull is sired by Grahams Rebel and he is out of a Foxhillfarm Jasper sired cow.
The overall reserve champion title also went to the reserve female champion, Anside Udiamond, owned by Mr and Mrs S. Irvine of Braehead Farm, Banffs, who had followed the champion right through from the female classes earlier in the day. This October 2023 born Ampertaine Majestic daughter enjoyed success as the Highland show where she picked up the reserve junior female champion prize.
The strong junior section was again dominated by the females with overall junior champion prize being awarded to the junior female champion Grahams Violet. She is sired by the 180,000gns Graiggoch Rambo, and her dam is aforementioned Grahams Precious making her a maternal sister to the male champion.
Following hot on the heels in the reserve junior champion position was Glenrock Vogue from Mr S & Mr T Illingworth, Howgillside, Dumfries and Galloway, who was earlier tapped out as reserve junior female champion. This Glenrock Redemption daughter is out of the Fenomen daughter Glenrock Option.
