[QUOTE="Agriland RSS, post: 7866608, member: 105608"] Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland A bumper entry of livestock attracted tremendous crowds for the 2021 Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) Beef and Lamb Championships. Taking the top honours in the [B]calf ring[/B] was Chris Johnston, from Fivemiletown with his homebred baby, heifer calf,[B] Jo Jo[/B] sired by Trueman Idol. This exciting prospect caught the eye of many visitors to the event, tipping the scales at 275kg and selling for £5,600 or £20/kg, to Owen Miskelly, Ballynahinch. It was a clean sweep for the Limousin breed in the calf ring as the Reserve Champion calf, brought out by Mark McCartan, from Crossgar, was sired by Foxhill Ourbest. The five-month old steer, which weighed in at 308kg was purchased for £2,400 (£12/kg). [URL='https://cdn.agriland.ie/uploads/2021/12/The-Champion-Calf-at-the-at-the-2021-RUAS-Beef-and-Lamb-event-scaled.jpg'][IMG]https://cdn.agriland.ie/uploads/2021/12/The-Champion-Calf-at-the-at-the-2021-RUAS-Beef-and-Lamb-event-1024x696.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Champion Calf at the RUAS Beef and Lamb Championships 2021 [HEADING=1]Beef classes[/HEADING] In the prime beef classes, a Limousin heifer from the Newtownards-based JCB Commercials’ team took the Supreme Champion of the Show. Weighing 650kg on the weighbridge, she sold for £7,500 to Kitson Family Butchers, from North Yorkshire. The Reserve Supreme Championship was exhibited by Nigel and Sandra Cochrane from Portadown. Their Limousin heifer sold for £7,400 to Owen Miskelly, from Ballynahinch in Co. Down (£12/kg). It took £5,800 to secure the Breeding Heifer Champion from the Jalex team of James Alexander, Randalstown. Giving her a tight run in the judging stakes was a British Blue sired heifer from the JCB team, selling to Owen Miskelly at £5,100. Leading the prices in the lamb ring were a pair of ewe lambs from Co. Tyrone breeder, Adam Donald. Sired by a Suffolk ram these realised a total of £980 and were purchased by Keith Corrigan, from Ballinamallard in Co. Fermanagh. The same willing buyer also forked out £960 for a pair of Dutch Spotted ewe lambs from Liam Campbell, from north Antrim. Co. Down butcher Alfie Murray parted with £700 to secure a pair of Badger Faced lambs, presented by Clive Richardson, Lisnaskea.
