Royal Highland Showcase Event 2021
It certainly felt like the show scene was starting up again watching exhibitors prepare their animals to be shown. Highland Cattle breeders turned out to show their stock and had the largest number of entries on the day. The shop window was a bit different this year with restrictions keeping the crowds away and the Royal Highland Show changing into the ‘Royal Highland Showcase'.
Dexter Logan of Blairlogan fold was our judge and put all the animals and exhibitors through their paces. The ring was much bigger than in previous years and Dexter made sure that every corner of the ring was used. The cattle were, as always, turned out immaculately and some were even ‘glittering’ in the sunshine. It was a very blustery morning that saw some 32 animals forward to the show ring.
Male and overall champion, Gusgurlach of Balmoral
The native breeds were all shown on Monday 14 June 2021 and our Champion was Gusgurlach of Balmoral born on 2 February 2019, a son of Tomintoul of Glamis Castle and owned by Her Majesty The Queen. This was his first ever outing and he was in tip top condition and expertly shown by Stockman Dochy Ormiston.
Our Reserve Champion was Lynn 12th of Mottistone, a daughter of Eoin Mhor 17th of Mottistone and bred by Michael Poland. She is owned by Balrownie Farms and was being shown by Ryan Carnegie, his first time ever showing a Highlander – well done Ryan!
