The dairy inter-breed was a repeat performance of the recent Devon County Show, with both the same champion and reserve.
Standing champion was Curscombe Windbrook Joy 89 from Jenny Bishop, Honiton with daughter Nicola Lockyer on the head collar after also taking the exhibitor bred title earlier in the morning.
Having calved in April with its fourth, this EX93 animal is giving 54kg, having topped at 57kg this lactation, and given 12,000kg in its last. She has produced five heifer calves in its life time and is from five generations of home-bred cows, with its own being Curscombe Manat Joy.
The animal was sixth in her class at UK Dairy Day, Telford last year and placed well at Wadebridge for the Royal Cornwall last year, although has never taken the breed championship there.
Reserve dairy inter-breed champion from the Davis family, Tiverton.
Judge Meurig James, and head classifier at Holstein UK, commented he placed this cow champion as it was older and more mature with tremendous strength, openness of rib and depth of body.
Similarly to the judge at Devon County, Mr James placed the Jersey second calver, Windyridge Tequila Diamond, from the Davis family, Tiverton in reserve, an animal jointly owned with its breeder S. and S. Murray.
Calved in January, it is giving 27kg per day at 6 per cent fat and 4 per cent protein. Out of Shellen Connection Diamond, it is a Tower Vue Prime Tequila daughter and will be making is next appearances at Mid Devon and Honiton shows.
Inter-breed beef champion from M. and M. Alford, Cullompton.
Beef
It was a double win for the Alford family, Cullompton in the beef rings taking both the inter-breed champion and reserve, another section which mirrored the Devon results, although with a different champion but from the same home.
Taking the top honours was Foxhillfarm Limited Edition, a Limousin a two year old heifer, led by Neil Lloyd. An embryo calf born of the dam Bankdale Elizabeth and by Kype Interrogate, which won supreme at the English National Calf
Show at the end of last year, after winning female senior champion at Sterling’s Stars of the Future. Next stop for the homebred heifer, is the Royal Highland Show.
Reserve inter-breed beef champion from C. Alford, Cullompton.
Inter-breed judge Henry Dart, Braunton described the animal as ‘well fleshed for its age’.
Herdmate Rhymil Kylie took the reserve, a February 2015 born in-calf British Blue heifer, bred by Tonyrefail based Rhys Millichap. Purchased in a private sale in November, the heifer was given to Charlotte Alford by her parents for her eighteenth birthday.
A Gitan Du Ptit Mayeur daughter, the animal had a very successful summer on last year’s show circuit including inter-breed champion at Cothi Bridge and North Somerset shows, reserve breed champion at the Royal Three Counties, breed champion at the Royal Welsh Show and inter-breed junior heifer champion.
Mr Dart said the Blue was also a tremendous animal for its age but just lacked on show presence in comparison to his champion, the Limousin.
South Devon national show
With the show being the stage for the South Devon’s national show, five year old bull Z Welland Valley Trident 3 from Bill and Sue Harper, Holsworthy and exhibited by professional showman Thomas Slowen, Moffatt.
Purchased at the society’s autumn sale in 2014, the animal is bred by Malcolm and Thelma Broome, Thorpe Lancton. It has spent the last two years at home working and was last shown as a two year old.
Supreme sheep from E.W. Quick and sons, Crediton.
Sheep
Meanwhile in the sheep section, the champion came from the Devon County Show winners, Bill, Paul, Mark and Andrew Quick, Crediton, although with a different Texel.
This time is what the turn of Douganhill Whiskey Mac, an aged ram on its first time out. Purchased in Carlisle as a yearling last September for 5,200gns, it is half owned with Nick and Jim Hartwright of the Whitehart flock, Hereford. It is a Douganhill Urastar son and out of a Claybury Powerpack mother.
Scottish judge Roderick Runciman described his champion as a very worthy champion, being a fine example of the breed.
Reserve supreme sheep from Ross Lawrence, Winkleigh.
His reserve was a home-bred Suffolk yearling ewe from Ross Lawrence, Winkleigh which took the breed championship at Devon County.
Sired by Deveronside Doodlebug which was purchased at Stirling in 2015 as a ram lamb for 10,000gns, it is out of a Lakeview ewe and is part of Mr Lawrence’s 15-ewe pedigree flock.
Mr Runciman described the yearling as having good breed character, but just lacked a bit of second thigh in comparison to the Texel.
Pigs
A home-bred Large Black gilt, Millcroft Farm Doreen 22, from A.J. Carter, Dawlish took the supreme pig title. It is a Sock Attempt daughter.
Reserve was a Duroc gilt, Portbredy Lena 1337 from Hayley Loveless, Bridport which is sired by Seaborough Raw Deal.
