Galloway Bullock wins Pure Bred Championship. 

A strong but select show of Galloways was forward for the 2025 LiveScot event held at Lanark Mart. The popular pedigree calf show, always a highlight for both exhibitors and the public, took place on Friday evening and featured four quality Galloway calves.

Champion Galloway Calf was awarded to I Spy of Over Barskeoch, exhibited by Messrs Wallace, Hannaston, Dalry, Castle Douglas. This October 2024-born calf is by Oryan of Balgray and out of Vavoom of Over Barskeoch, and is  the last bull calf sired by Oryan of Balgray and is destine for Castle Douglas Spring show and sale. 

Reserve Champion went to Issy Wkd of Over Barskeoch, also from the same home. This 13-month-old heifer is also by Oryan of Balgray and out of Wkd of Over Barskeoch, continuing the herd’s success. 

On Saturday morning, the Pure Bred Native Bullock class was judged, with first place going to Waughy, exhibited by Jason and Sarah Wareham, Little Tottingworth, Sussex and bred by Kilnstown Farms Ltd, Kilnstown, Bewcastle, Cumbria.  Born in September 2023, Waughy is by Outlander of Fingland and out of the renowned Marina of Kilnstown cow line, which has produced multiple native fatstock champions.

Later in the day, this stylish bullock went on to secure the Native Purebred Championship, then beating the Charolais to claim the overall Champion Pure Bred title. Waughy now heads to the Welsh Winter Fair to continue his show season.

The Society is delighted to present Jason and Sarah with the special cash prize of £250 awarded to the Galloway winning the Overall Native Championship at Livescot.

In the commercial calf competition, Jason and Sarah Wareham also enjoyed success with a very stylish home-bred steer calf in the class for animals born on or after 1st January 2025. Bandit, born 20/03/25, stood 2nd in a strong class of seven calves and impressed many ringside. He is certainly one to watch for the future.

The Reserve Galloway title went to Flash, bred and exhibited by J.P. Campbell & Sons, Grimmet, Ayr, and expertly shown by stockman Joe Cockburn. This impressive 18-month-old steer is sired by Blackcraig Dyker and out of Diamond 1st of Troloss. Flash weighed in at 510 kg and sold for £4 per kg, realising £2,040.
