Brockhurst Tranquility
The Limousin heifer, Brockhurst Tranquility, owned by W.J. and M. Mash, Chesham, and shown by Jimmy McMillan, first claimed the continental championship before going on to take the supreme beef title.
The March 2022-born daughter of Procters Mitsubishi, which is in-calf to Brockhurst Precision, 听has been inter-breed champion at Herts County, reserve inter-breed at Edenbridge and Oxted and reserve breed champion at the Royal Highland Show this season.
The judge, David Sapsed, Hertfordshire, said his champion was a superb female with excellent locomotion and top line which oozed style.
Standing reserve was the reserve continental champion, the two-year-old Charolais heifer, Overhill Toya by Blelack Digger from S.C. and G.L. Hartwright, Abingdon, which had been bought from Carlisle in the spring as a foundation female for their new herd.
The native championship went to P.J.R. and L.R. Vincent, Diss, with the home-bred in鈥攃alf heifer, Pulham 1 Olive 7, a September 2022-born daughter of Appel 1 Kaboom.
A strong commercial section was headed by the heifer champion, 16-month-old 590kg 听Troy, a British Blue cross Limousin from James and Will Ludgate, Leighton Buzzard, which was bought at Barnard Castle market earlier in the year and has been commercial champion at Edenbridge and Oxted and Herts Co and reserve at Lincolnshire Show.
Dairy
With several local exhibitors under bovine TB restrictions, a small dairy section was headed by the Holstein champion, Eggingson E Kingsley Charm, a third calver by Goldfish Charm, currently producing 46.6kg daily from G.B. Sears and Son, Eggington. They also took the reserve title with the heifer, Eggingson E Sound System Tanya.
The judge, Andrew Reader, Northamptonshire, said his champion was a strong powerful cow which was balanced throughout and oozed milk.

In the sheep rings the inter-breed championship went to Jennifer Curtis, Evesham, with a home-bred three-year-old ewe from her Elmwick flock which was being shown for the second time, having been champion at Tenbury Wells Show earlier this year. It has bred very well for the flock with its ram lamb from this year being retained as a stock ram.
In reserve was Eleanor Barlow, Aylesbury, with her home-bred two-year-old North Country Cheviot ewe, Hulcott Daphne.
The inter-breed group of three went to Matthew and Gordon Sparke, Skewley, with the home-bred trio of two shearling ewes and a ram lamb.
