Championship day dawns at Royal Highland Show

This morning sees the interbreed championships judged in all three of the major sections, beef, dairy and sheep at this year’s Royal Highland Show and already exhibitors are out and about preparing their breed champions for the judges.

Interbreed competitions this year will be placed by Alan Fotheringham. Forgandenny, (beef), Ian Thomson, Peebles (sheep) and Andrew Dunlop Castle Douglas (dairy).

Few are willing to place money on where the championships will go and I’m not about to stick my head on the block either, but with three such experienced judges on parade this morning one thing is for sure, all entries will receieve a thorough inspection.
