Taking the supreme overall beef interbreed championship at this year's Highland Show was the overall Charolais champion Balthayock Nessie. Bred and exhibited by Major David Walters, this marks the herd's highest win at the show. Born April 2017, this heifer is sired by the famous Dingle Hofmeister and out of the homebred Balthayock Jessie. This win broke the Limousin breed's strive for five Highland Show interbreeds in a row.
This did not mean the breed were far behind though, with the Limousin champion also claiming the reserve interbreed champion. Foxhillfarm Naomi from the well-known show family, the Alford’s, was the animal to take the plaudits. Another two-year-old heifer, Naomi is a daughter of the world record-priced Trueman Jagger and out of homebred Foxhillfarm Isla.
The Charolais breed were back in form in the junior interbreed championship with Harestone Natalie. Bred by R and N Barclay, this August 2017-born heifer is a daughter of Thrunton Socrates and Harestone Finesse. The Barclays are no strangers to success having claimed the breed championship and reserve interbreed championship at the 2018 show.
