Following a successful show season all summer Kevin Ludgate has done the double in the Royal Show rings under judge and butcher Michael Alford, Somerset.

 The champion ticket went to the British Blue heifer Wilemina, led out by Kevin’s partner Dawn, while the reserve ticket went to Kevin’s other successful show animal and British Blue cross Big Bum, who has notched up a collection of winning tickets this year, she was shown by Ben Maskell.

Taking the steer class was Richard Naylor’s Limousin steer Mr Mallarky, a steer who won early on in the season at Newark.
