Judge Mr P Rainey, Coleraine, Co Londonderry
Wednesday 12th July 2023 at the Great Yorkshire Show was certainly a day to remember for the ‘Juniors’, we saw J & J F Nimmo take the Overall Champion, Female Champion and Junior Champion with their 15 month old striking heifer, Maraiscote Tangerine, beautifully shown by Sophie Harvey. Tangerine clinched the title over the Royal Highland Show Overall Champion Grahams Ruth who came away with Reserve Overall Champion. Tangerine has dam lines going back to Bassingfield Machoman, and is sired by Irish F94L/F94L Sliabh Felim Mourinho who the Nimmo Family purchased for €11,000. Tangerine is destined to stay within the Maraiscote herd, and fingers crossed she will calve, then be flushed for embryo transfer.
The very successful Pabo Procters, exhibited by AW Jenkinson Farms, Penrith, Cumbria, took Male Champion he is sired by the Irish-bred Derrygullinane Kingbull and bred out of Pabo Jympa, a daughter of Sympa.
Rossellie Truth another junior bull, took the top spot in Class 53, Bull born between 01/07/21 – 28/02/22, 18 month old Truth then went on to receive the Wells Cundall Cup for the best animal exhibited by a North Eastern Breeder. Congratulations to Mr Peter Walker, and of course his two grand-children Ross and Ellie who have been instrumental in the progression of the herd, not to mention the derivative of their herd prefix! Rossellie Truth has notably excellent retail value EBV’s, and is homozygous for the myostatin ‘Green Gene’ F94L, they are aiming to market this ultimate bull, final progeny out of Homebyres Honesty at Carlisle in October.
After the showing activity, we saw the Young Breeders Stock Judging Competition take place. Congratulations must go to every single competitor, the standard of judging, presentation and reasoning was absolutely incredible. Their professionalism, confidence, and composure was nothing short of exceptional. The British Limousin Cattle Society are extremely proud to have such an enthusiastic group of young people within the next generation, and pledge to continue to support them in as many ways as possible.
We thank Master Judge Jonathan Watson, Stuart Bett for stewarding, John Graham for scoring, and John Grisedale Chairman of Young Breeders Club.
