The Stewartry Show enjoyed a warm and sunny day that was perfect for both exhibitors and public. Once again, the Ross Family from Romesbeoch, Shawhead, Dumfries, clinched the Galloway Champion title with their outstanding entry, Kirkstead Lea G11. 

It was the well-known show heifer, Kirkstead Lea G11, from Jim, Selina, and Doug Ross of Romesbeoch, Shawhead, Dumfries, that claimed top honours at a sun-drenched Moffat Show. Kirkstead Lea G11 swept the competition, winning Breed Champion, Beef Champion, and Overall Champion. 

Bright sunshine welcomed exhibitors and the public alike to the Dumfries and Lockerbie Show. The event enjoyed a remarkable turnout, with the Galloway cattle section being the largest and most prominent, showcasing an exceptional array of livestock that the South West has to offer. The Finlay Family of Blackcraig, Corsock, Castle Douglas, claimed the top award with Blackcraig Blondchen D1314. 

The forecast had predicted rain, and it was certainly accurate. In less than favourable conditions, it was Kirkstead Lea G11 from Jim & Selina Ross, son, Doug and grandson Lloyd, Romesbeoch, Shawhead, which shone through to receive the championship and junior  awards.

Blackcraig Blondchen D1314 secured the overall  championship on her first outing for John, Ann, and Iain Finlay of Blackcraig, Corsock, Castle Douglas.
