'A very good Junior Champion but he came up against a Senior Bull who was so outstanding he made my job easy and really was a Supreme Champion.
A bull who judged the right way would be very competitive in an inter-breed class'.

Tom McConnell commented on 'Dawson Arrow of MacAnLeister'

Class 1. A nice class of prospect bull calves, especially the top half of this class which was very competitive. I don't just look at what the calf is showing me now but what I feel it's going to show me in the future as it continues to mature from how it has grown to date. Bull 113 & 115 struck me as 2 calves that will give me the muscle, length and depth I want to see in a herd sire. Bull 120 & 121 came in very close behind.

Class 4. This class of bulls really stood out and grabs your attention. Especially bull 403 and 402 who win this class, these two impressive bulls have it all and easily win the class and show. Bull 408 and 409 come in a close third and fourth. All four of these bulls would improve a fold.

 

Entry 403 is my Senior Bull Champion and entry 402 is my Senior Bull Reserve Champion. Entry 403 is the Grand Champion Bull with entry 402 as Reserve Grand Champion Bull.

The toughest call for this show is deciding a Supreme Champion between my champion bull & champion female. My first impulse is to award the Grand Champion Female, entry 1208, as the Supreme Champion. This is definitely a go with your first impulse kind of decision being I went back and forth between these two grand champions trying to decide. Entry 1208, the Grand Champion female will reign as the Supreme Champion in the 2023 Virtual Highland Show.

Malcom Moy commented on 'Aubrey Bow of MacAnLeister'

"Brindle, Wow! What a smashing heifer, difficult to fault; it was good to see a proper brindle colour, and very well presented. This animal was very close to the supreme champion".
