ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
PITMUDIE HAVANA - Best Female, Reserve Overall Champion, Best Animal Bred by Exhibitor
& 1st place Female born on or between 01.01.16 and 30.06.16 at the Royal Highland Show
with thirteen of the sixteen entries
forward. The winner of this class was
Jimmy McMillan’s Sterling FCUK Impuls – a
very long, clean, whole coloured heifer
with lots of style and beautifully shown.
Perhaps not quite perfect behind but
nevertheless a worthy winner. Second
was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie Florin 2nd
and third was Jim & Patricia Goldie’s
Newbiemains Impressive.
The July to December 2016 class was
again well supported with twelve entries
forward. The Green’s Corskie Herlande
came out top in this strong class. A very
sound, good moving heifer who went on
to be Best Junior Female and eventually
Best Junior Animal of the breed. Second
and Reserve Junior Female was Gerald
Smith’s Drumsleed Hilight. She also
followed the first prize winner through to
become Reserve Overall Junior Champion.
Third in the class was Michael Durno’s
Auchorachan Letta H1.
The class for heifers born between 1st
January and end of June 2016 was slightly
smaller, but of a very high standard.
The eventual winner of a very close-run
decision was Heather Duff’s Pitmudie
Havana, beating Jimmy & Vikki Wood’s
Popes Rhona. Havana showed more breed
character through her head and front end
and went on to be Female Champion and
Reserve Overall in a very strong female
section. Third in this class to these two
