Baileys Aubergine wins Reserve Overall Limousin Champion at Balmoral
Show
The damp weather conditions failed to dampen the atmosphere at the Royal
Ulster Agricultural Society Show in Balmoral on Wednesday (16th May)
2007 when in the early afternoon Limousin judge Chris Pennie of the Sarkley
herd in Wales tapped Baileys Aubergine as his Reserve Overall Limousin
Champion.
It was a remarkable achievement for the Baileys herd and in particular
Baileys Aubergine who was earlier in the day placed second in a very
strong senior heifer class to the eventual Overall Limousin Champion
Carmorn Vonex. In the Limousin section Carmorn Vonex was followed all
the way from her class in the Senior Female Championship, Female Championship & Overall
Limousin Championship by Baileys Aubergine. The accolades collected by
Aubergine on the day also included best exhibitor bred Limousin in the
show collecting the Jim Scott Perpetual Challenge Cup. This was the first
time in ten years that Southern Ireland cattle participated at the Royal
Ulster Agricultural Society Show at Balmoral which is the highlight of
the show calendar in Ulster The Limousin Champion Carmorn Vonex came
from Peter Smyth, Blackhill, Coleraine, Co. Derry. It was a remarkable
day for Peter winning the Overall Limousin Championship for the second
time in sucession with the same heifer but also going one step better
in 2007 winning the Overall Interbreed Beef Champion of the show. Peter
now plans to take his heifer to the Highland Show in June.
Baileys Aubergine is owned by Tom Bailey, Batterstown, Co. Meath who
has established a top class pedigree herd under the guidance of farm
manager Pat Greaney. She is a homebred January 2005 born heifer sired
by the well known Grahams Samson and the dam is Pelletstown Perfume,
a Genereux daughter purchased at a Pelletstown Production Sale as a maiden
heifer. Aubergine is the first calf born from Pelletstown Perfume. The
plan for Aubergine is to be shown at the National Livestock Show in Tullamore
and the National Limousin Show at the Ploughing Championships. This was
Aubergines finest hour in the showring with other wins came previously
in the form of a first and second prize at the 2005 & 2006 National
Limousin shows respectively
A delighted owner Tom Bailey commented ‘We’re pleasantly
surprised and delighted as this is new terrority for us. The achievement
of Reserve Overall Limousin by our heifer to the Overall Interbreed Champion
is fantastic. We’re delighted with the reception we have received
from the personnel in Balmoral Show who made every effort to accommodate
us. A special thanks also to the Northern Ireland Limousin Club for their
welcome and hospitality’
