Bruces Hill on winning form at Ballymena Show
The Templepatrick-based Bruces Hill Cattle Company owned by Mike Frazer continued on winning form at Ballymena’s 114th annual show on Saturday 26th May 2012.
Following on from the recent Balmoral Show, senior stock bull Hockenhull Ali Baba retained his male and supreme championship titles, while his herd mate Hockenhull Natalie 34th claimed the female and reserve supreme championship ribbons.
Judge Kenneth Stubbs, Irvinestown, awarded the reserve male championship award to Duncan McDowell’s stock bull, Slievenagh Bonjovi.
Runner-up in the female section was Lisglass Clover 2nd, a home-bred junior heifer from Leslie and Christopher Weatherup’s herd at Ballyclare.
Two home-bred heifers from David Hazelton’s herd at Dungannon qualified for the Ivomec Super Pair of the Year Final. They were Ranfurly Weikel 6th and Ranfurly Weikel 7th.
