Repeating her success at the Great Yorkshire, the Corbett family’s four-year-old cow, Teme Poshtotty, was awarded the overall breed championship at the Royal Welsh Show by judge David Connolly, of the Brigadoon herd in Ballynahinch, Co Down, before finishing reserve overall in the cattle inter-breed contest.
Going one better than the reserve breed title she achieved at the Royal Welsh in 2022, Poshtotty was shown with her heifer calf at foot, Teme Uptowngirl. A daughter of the 70,000gns Barnsford Ferny, out of the Blelack Digger-sired Teme Ivory, she’s one of 30 cows in the Corbetts’ herd at Felindre, Powys.
Taking the reserve overall ticket was the male champion and best junior male, Moelfre Union, from Kevin and Sioned Thomas, Llechwedd, Capel Iwan. Sired by the 16,000gns Balthayock Rambo, this 15-month-old bull is out of Moelfre Ralarwdins, a Thrunton Nugget daughter.
The Thomas family had more to celebrate when they secured the reserve overall female title with Moelfre Nana, a seven-year-old cow by Balmyle Impression and out of the Thrunton Camelot-sired Gretnahouse Fannabel. She was shown with her June-born bull calf at foot.
Reserve male was the reserve junior bull, Huttonend Ubelter, a 15-month-old from Sean Mitchell, Skelton. This Barnsford Ferny son, out of Allanfauld Ozzy, was reserve junior male at the Great Yorkshire the previous week.
Best junior female was Caylers Umbrella, owned by William Glover, of the Starlight herd in Yeovil, Somerset. This 16-month-old heifer is by Glenericht Pogba, while the dam is the Thrunton Goldeneye daughter, Caylers Lara.
Reserve junior female was Caerddaniel Ultimate, from RO Williams and Son, Barmouth, Gwynedd. A 17-month-old daughter of Dingle Hofmeister, her dam is Tillside Isabel, by Blelack Blackberet.
