Beef inter-breed and Simmental champion, Annick Ginger's Lucia, from Reece and Andrew Simmers, Keith.
As host to the Simmental Scottish National Show, it was a fitting result when the Simmental champion was crowned inter-breed beef champion at this year's Turriff Show.
It was the February 2020-born Annick Ginger's Lucia, from Reece and Andrew Simmers, Keith, which claimed the supreme sash.
Purchased from the Annick dispersal sale in 2022 and residing with the family's pedigree Backmuir Simmental herd, the cow was also inter-breed beef champion at this year's Royal Highland Show, and breed champion at the show in 2023.
It went on to to place reserve overall champion of champions later that day.
The Simmental judge, Dorothy Moffat, Dunbar, said her champion was ‘very feminine' and ‘a good example of the breed'.
