Hannah Park
It was a first-time inter-breed win at the show with the cow for the pair, which was shown giving 45kg daily having calved in March.
The home-bred animal is a Velthuis Alpine daughter out of Thuborough Freda 435 and was one half of the pair which took the dairy Burke trophy at Devon County show last year.
Also making a dairy inter-breed debut was the reserve and Jersey champion, Whitenhill Rileys Coleus, from Jessica Ravenhill-White, Umberleigh, Devon
A home-bred Chasin Rainbows Act Riley daughter, the second calver was shown two-weeks fresh giving 42kg daily on what was its first show-ring outing.
Commenting on his top line-up, inter-breed dairy judge Shaun Dixon, County Durham, said his champion was difficult to fault with a strong mammary system and was a tremendous example of the breed.
The beef judging saw the Limousin, Foxhillfarm Naomi, from Michael and Melanie Alford, Cullompton, Devon, take the top-spot.
This two-year-old heifer is by Trueman Jagger and out of the Wilodge Fantastic daughter, Foxhillfarm Isla and has already taken inter-breed beef champion at Devon County show this year.
It will be heading to the Royal Highland, Great Yorkshire, and Royal Welsh shows among others on the show circuit this summer.
Runner-up in reserve was the British Charolais champion, Balbithan Neopolitan, from Clare Clapp, Tiverton, Devon.
The March 2017-born heifer is by Davally Illusion and was bought as a calf from a dispersal sale two years ago.
For the first time this year, a group-of-five championship also took place in the cattle section, and was taken by the British Blues and Holsteins in their respective sections.
In the sheep section, top honours were also taken by the Alfords with their Charollais champion, a four-year-old ewe by Logie Durno Olympian.
Olympian was bought by the pair as a shearling from the British Premier Charollais sale in 2015 for 7,000gns.
Reserve went to a yearling Scotch Blackface ewe from P.H.Cornelius, Camelford, Cornwall.
The ewe, which was inter-breed champion at Holsworthy and Stratton last year, is by a Chamberwells tup, Stirling, and will be out at several shows on the circuit this summer.
In the pig inter-breed, top honours went to Martin Snell, Yeovil, Somerset, with a Large Black sow, Sock Doreen 209.
Home-bred by Glenariff Attempt 2, and due in July, the February 2016-born animal will be retiring from the circuit this summer.
Reserve went to the Welsh champion, Clowen Model 28, a July-2017 born gilt by Pantysgawen Ted, from Adam Collings, Launceston, Cornwall.
