Great Yorkshire Show 2022

Great Yorkshire Show
Written By Lynne Dickens

The Hunter family of Hunters fold had plenty to celebrate at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show. The family’s home bred Alice of Hunters reigned Overall Champion, fresh from her Reserve Champion status at this year’s Royal Highland Show.

Overall and female champion, Alice of Hunters

In front of a packed ringside, Judge Gordon McConachie tapped out Alice as his winner from a great line up of Highland cattle on the day. Alice is by Jura 3rd of Thaggnam and out of Alice Seonag 12th of Glengorm. Alice was again ably shown by Laura Hunter and the duo make a great team.

Brogach Murphy Ruadh of Seam from Simon and Emma Haley stood Reserve Champion. Murphy was Junior Champion and then secured Highland Male Champion earlier in the day. He also stood as Junior Champion at this year’s Royal Highland Show. This 15-month-old was sired by Brogach of Gilden Vale and his dam is a homebred female, Margaret of Seam.

Reserve Female Champion Arin 2nd of Blairlogan bred, owned and exhibited by D and C Logan. This beautiful yearling heifer looks to have a great future ahead of her. Sired by Aonghas Ruadh of Hyndford out of Arin 2nd of Culfoich, she pushed Alice all the way for the female championship.

Reserve Male Champion was Alex of Congash owned and shown by Sarah Cuthbertson. This is a 5-year-old bull and was sired by Russell 3rd of Craigowmill and his dam is Susan 19th of Ormsary.

Judge Gordon McConachie commented:

“It was an honour to be asked to judge the Highland cattle classes at the Great Yorkshire Show this year. Most classes had good numbers in them which was good to see. Thanks must go to the stock men and women who paraded round the ring with their animals in extremely challenging hot conditions.

Male Champion was the junior bull from Simon and Emma Hailey. Female champion was the 2-year-old heifer from the Hunters Fold of Stephen, Rosie and Laura. I tapped out the 2-year-old heifer as my champion. She is a very nice heifer which caught the eye whenever she entered the ring.

Congratulations go to all prize winners, and I hope they go on to do well at other shows and sales in the future.

Thanks go to Anne-Marie, Robert Phillip and the North of England Highland Cattle Club who manned the Society tent on all four days. I believe there have been some new memberships taken out as a result.”
