LIVESCOT's first poultry show proved a huge success, attracting a bumper entry which included 240 exhibits and a top quality champion.
"It's a brilliant display of birds for the first show," said Neil Watson, from Airdrie, one of the two judges. "There are some really nice birds here and the champion, a female Cayuga duck is an outstanding bird," he added.
Taking all the plaudits was the champion waterfowl, a previously unshown home-bred female from an extremely surprised Mary Leggate, who rarely exhibits birds from the family farm at Stramolloch, Chapelton, Strathaven. Home-bred it was hatched out at the beginning of the year.
A dutch yellow partridge bantam male, scooped the reserve honours for John Dunbar, Stepends, Stirling.
