Nearly 120 animals were paraded in front of judge Hugh Dunlop, Ayrshire in the commercial beef cattle ring for this year’s Royal Welsh show, but it was Limousin bred stock which secured all the major championships.
Senior commercial Championship
Rising to top in the senior championship and eventually tapped forward as overall champion was Ellis Lloyds “Beca”. The 14 month old heifer which was bred by exhibitor is sired by a Limousin stock bull run on farm while the dam is a Charolais cross. The supreme championship win marks a very successful start to the heifers first day out on the show circuit.

Reserve commercial championship
Having come runner up in the senior section, yearling steer “Tip Top” was going to follow the champion all the way to the end to claim the reserve overall sash. Exhibited by Mr E Layton the steer was originally bought at the Brecon show potential sale earlier in the year. This is the first major outing for the young Limousin sired animal whose dam is also a Limousin cross.
Baby beef championship
In the baby beef section it was Mr D Thomas who came up trumps with his August 2015 born “Annabell”. Having secured third in the Beef Expo earlier in the year the Limousin sired calf did one better to claim top spot in under 425kg live weight class and beat off the stiff competition in the equivalent steer class to be crowned Baby Beef champion.
