Leading the way in the yearling section today clinching the yearling male, overall male and overall yearling championship was Hamish and Margaret Sclater, Turriff, Aberdeenshire, with Deveron Leggat P469.

Adding his thoughts to his female champion, Mr de Cogan said: “This was a great outfit, balanced throughout and good on the move. For having calved at 24 months old, she’s looking after her calf very well indeed.”
