Reserve female champion was the 3-year-old Seonasag of Ubhaidh, bred by Roy Tylden-Wright Abel and is owed by Robert and Diane Bradley of Moorside fold. She is by Douglas of Ubhaidh and out of Capleadh 14th of Craigowmill.

Standing in reserve to the male champion was Eoin Mhor 31st of Mottistone, bred by Michael Poland and owned by Balrownie Farms and shown by Ryan Carnegie.

It was a fabulous day for the Strachan and Hunter families as Callum Dubh of Cailiach was also junior champion and Alice 2nd of Hunters, bred and owned by Stephen and Rosemary Hunter was reserve junior champion.

Again, Highland Cattle proved a force to be reckoned with in the Interbreed Competition when our Senior Team of Four were placed 6th in a very strong class.
