Royal Highland Show 2017
Judge Willie Maclean took centre stage at the Royal Highland Show on 22 June, judging the Highland classes in what can only be described as almost perfect weather for showing. The day was truly a family affair with all three of Willie’s daughters on hand to help present the prizes and his brother Charlie MacLean at the opposite end of the cattle show rings set about placing the Charolais classes.
Willie found his overall champion in the two year old heifer class with Female Champion, Eleanor of Ubhaidh (20/02/2015) out of Alice of Earn and by Fergus of Ubhaidh, bred by Roy Tylden-Wright, and owned and brought out by Graeme Easton and Rebecca Greenhorn from the Ranch Fold.
The reserve overall champion and male champion was a black highland bull from Her Majesty the Queen, brought out by Fearghus Ormiston and bred by Ken Brown. Prionnsa Dubh of Craigowmill born on 10/04/2011 was out of Lady Alma Dubh 2nd of Craigowmill and by Panther 2nd Vom Aignerhof.
