Balmoral Show Winners
As the dust settles on what was another amazing Balmoral show with massive crowds and exceptional livestock on display, we were delighted to see so many Dovea Genetics sired animals achieving great success throughout the week.
In the Charolais section, 3-year-old Loughriscouse Rosalva, exhibited by H & H Heron and sired by the ever-popular Harestone Hercules (S2163) started the day by winning the cow / heifer in calf or in milk class alongside her 3-month-old heifer calf. Rosalva then went on to win the Overall Female Champion, part of the Charolais Group-of-Three Champion team, and Reserve Supreme Champion.
