The event culminated in the prime cattle championship, won by the heifer champion, Sassy Lady, a black Limousin cross achieving a first overall win at LiveScot for Ayrshire-based couple Allan and Susan Campbell, Galston. The 17-month-old heifer by Trueman Idol out of a British Blue cross dam was bred by E.H. Pennie and Son and bought at Carlisle in March. At the sale following the show, Sassy Lady, weighing 674kg, topped the trade, selling for 拢9,500 to Jamie Scott Butchers, Paisley.

Judge, Keith Williamson, Co Tyrone, praised the overall quality on show. He said: "The champion and reserve were the two stand-out cattle, with the champion displaying a little bit more class. They were both the weight I was looking for, had been finished nicely, with great presence."

For reserve supreme, he selected the reserve heifer, Pink Lady, a British Blue cross from James Nisbet, Sorn. Weighing in at 666kg, it was bred by Martin McNeil and bought in Ireland, at a Carrick on Shannon sale, later winning champion at Kilmaurs Show in the summer. An 18-month-old, by the sire New Red and out of a Charolais cross dam, it reached 拢8,200 at the sale, selling to Drumbeg Farms, Drymen.

Sheep

In the sheep ring, the winners of the butcher's section took the overall awards. Leading the way were two untrimmed Beltex cross lambs from Robert Garth and Sarah Priestley, Bentham, who were winning their first LiveScot championship. By a Kingledores tup and out of Beltex cross ewes, these ewe lambs weighed 51kg each. They later sold for the top lamb price of 拢500/head, to the judge, Chris Timm, Timm Family Butchers, Pickering.
He said: "It was a very high standard right through; the top end were close in every class and I'd happily sell them all in my shop. The overall champions just had that bit more length and conformation."

For reserve overall, he selected the reserve butcher's champions, two Texel cross lambs from the Hall family, Dalston. By a Woodies Dutch Texel tup, the pair, a ewe lamb and a wether lamb, also weighed 51kg and went onto sell for 拢310 each, also to the judge.

The hill championship was won by a pair of 48kg Blackface wether lambs from Andrew Reid,听听Eskdalemuir. They had been bred at Flemington 51AV视频and bought at Lanark, with one sired by a 拢3,800 Ashcraig tup and the other by an 拢1,800 Crosswoodhill tup. At the sale, they made 拢350/head, to Perthshire butchers, David Comrie and Son.
Mr Timm, was particularly impressed with the conformation of this pair and said: "They are the best Blackfaces I have ever handled."

Reserve hill pair were North Country Cheviot wether lambs from SRUC's House of Muir Farm, which had been brought out by Barony students. Weighing 45.5kg each, they made 拢200/head to W. Shearer, Strathaven.

Dairy

The dairy section was won by Ian Smith and Sons, Greentowers, Lanark, with the Holstein Willsbro Lambda Frosty, which had been bought as a maiden heifer at the Willsbro sale two years ago. Classified VG87 as a heifer, it is currently giving 65 litres, having calved eight weeks ago.

Taking reserve were the Baillies from Dalserf, with Dalserf Unix Finesse, a six-year-old Holstein by Croteau Lesperron Unix, which had been placed overall champion at Lesmahagow Show last year. It calved a month ago and is now giving 60 litres a day. Honourable mention was Cauldcoats Chief Peggy 2, a Stantons Chief daughter from Donald Laird, Pathhead.

Pedigree

Taking the inter-breed title in the pedigree cattle section was the British Blue, Solway View Ultraviolet, a 13-month-old heifer from Kevin Watret, Annan. By Topgun Splash, it was champion at AgriExpo and senior champion at Stars of the Future.
