Vindicator is back

Vindicator is back

Three-year-old Milovaig 1 Vindicator is no stranger to the showring, and this year’s Hereford Scottish National show was no different. Taking place at Biggar Show it welcomed many exhibitors from far and wide to showcase their cattle, displaying true quality and style.

Milovaig 1 Vindicator, a 2021 born bull bred by Calum Smith, now residing with Coxon Herefords took home the winning prize after securing 1^st place in the bull born before August 2022 class. Living up to his name, Vindicator’s success was justified beyond doubt. This striking young man has already made his mark earlier in the summer at Echt Show where he not only took home the championship in the Hereford lines, but then went on to take the supreme championship.

Vindicator also had a fruitful summer in 2023 winning numerous titles including reserve senior male at this show last year and owner Martin Poyser celebrates his recent success with daughters and family. Milovaig 1 Vindicator is sired by Shraden 1 Perestroika and out of Milovaig 1 Bonnie Belle 6^th and extends his titles year on year.

Harveybros 1 Ace-of-Spades from G & S Harvey is also proving to light up the show circuit taking junior male and reserve male champion. Flashy and stylish, Ace proves there could be more to come, as he’s a young bull only born in May 2023. Sired by popular AI bull Normanton 1 Laertes and out of a homebred cow Harveybros 1 Crocus L4.

The female section certainly didn’t disappoint with Moralee 1 Kylie KS S3 from T & D Harrison winning the senior female, overall female and reserve breed championships. This exceptionally functional cow was joined in the ring by her twin calves, looking quite the outfit.  The Kylie line has awarded the husband-and-wife team many trophies, and this is no exception.

Moralee 1 Kylie KS S3 is out of Moralee 1 Kylie and sired by SMH Kingsize 87K, another successful bull who has sired many show winners. The breeding in this cow demonstrates true consistency with the Romany prefix on both sides.

R M 1 Lily from Emma Hodge caught the eye of judge Mr Boomer Birch of Sky High Herefords. This elegant 2022 born heifer stood out in her class and then went on to take the junior female and reserve female spot. She is sired by Coley 1 Teddy and born out of Coley 1 Lily 561.

Success saw the Panmure herd take both first and second places in the bull born between 1^st August 2022 and 28^th February 2023 class, with Panmure 1 Admiral coming in first, over Panmure 1 Alexander. They then teamed up to come first in the pairs class securing another win for JM Cant and Partners. Further success came for the G & S Harvey team winning the group of three class.

The next generation of Hereford did not disappoint with their handling and leading skills. In the junior section Cameron Barclay took first place with Maisie Poyser taking second and Kyla Porteous coming a close third.

Beth Harvey of G & S Harvey took first place in the senior section, with Molly Poyser coming in second, another rosette to add to the already mounting ones for the Coxon herd.
