Derryola Uno claims Championship at Omagh Show

Judge for the occasion was David Lester, Armagh a well-known breeder of Dexter and pedigree cattle.

First class of the day saw Planetree Cerberus, a magnificent 2018 born bull from the herd of Matthew Bloomer receive the first-place rosette, closely followed by the equally impressive Ballyhartfield Barua from the same herd in second place.

Derryola Maverick, exhibited by Ryan Lavery was in third, in a hotly contested class.

A small entry in the cow class saw the second calver, Dernasigh Dolly collect the red rosette for Thomas Martin, and it was her calf, Lester’s Molly who topped the calf class at Omagh Show.

It was one, two and three in the heifer class for Ryan Lavery with his impressive trio of Derryola Uno, Derryola Jane and Derryola Lara taking home the rosettes.

In the championship line-up David tapped out the winner of the heifer class, Derryola Uno exhibited by Ryan Lavery as his breed champion, closely followed by the winner of the bull class, Planetree Cerberus exhibited by Matthew Bloomer as his reserve champion.

Exhibitors would like to thank Tyrone Farming Society for hosting classes and David Lester for judging.
