There was only one cow in the cow class and that was the reserve female champion from DG & C Lucas, Cheeklaw Era and her calf at foot Cheeklaw Elle. Era is again by Jewgal Eric while the calf is sired by Cheeklaw Ellard.

Leading the senior heifer class was the Reserve overall champion Rawburn Estinina from the Firm of T Hodge, second was Stuart Addison’s Castlegate Euxette by Drumdow Peacock and in 3rd place was Tofts Frances from Playfair Farms by BCC Eileenmeere Lad.
