A two-year-old heifer from Letham breeder Graeme Easton ruled supreme at the East of Scotland Highland Cattle Club show.
The event, held at Auchlishie Farm, Kirriemuir, attracted 30 entries from local breeders and was judged by Bob McWalter from Fort William.
Taking the supreme honours was Graeme’s home-bred heifer Vicky of Ranch, by Donnachadh Ruadh Vom Sunderberg, out of Jenny of Mottistone.
This was the Ranch fold’s second consecutive win, with Vicky’s sister winning the same award in 2022 as a two-year-old.
In reserve, was Ben Cruachan 2 of Castle Estates from Keith Howman’s Borland fold based in Glenshee.
This February 2022-born bull is by the home-bred bull Eoin Mhor of Castle Estate, out of Proiseag Ruadh 7 of Achnacloich.
