ORKNEY AND GLENLIVET PROVIDE CHAMPIONS FOR CATTLE SHOWS
Orkney and Glenlivet provided the champions during two shows and sales at Thainstone Centre, Inverurie yesterday (Tuesday, October 9th).

steer from I. Craigie & Co, Hall of Clestrain, Orphir, Orkney. It
was bought by Harry Emslie, Brae of Coynach, Mintlaw for £910.
The reserve champion was a 620kg 19-month-old steer by Galcantray Mr Joss
from F. J. Ross & Co, Wester Arr Farm, Nairn which fetched £745
to Backmuir Trading, Keith.
Messrs Ross were also the winners of a set of four engraved whisky glasses
for the best pen of four steers. These weighed an average of 564kg each
and sold for £720 each, also to Backmuir Trading.
North East Aberdeen-Angus Club chairman Charles McCombie was on hand to
present the prizes.
Meanwhile, Ledingham Chalmers LLP were the sponsors of a show and sale
of weaned and suckled calves which was judged by brothers Alexander and
John Middler, Daies, Wardhouse, Insch.
Their champion heifer and overall champion, winning the Manson Perpetual

Charolais from D. & R. Durno & Sons, Auchorachan, Glenlivet. It

And the judges were the buyers, at £670, of the overall champion
