Welshman, Tecwyn Jones, of Ty Newydd, Nebo, Llanrwst, once again lifted the overall title in the commercial cattle section, this time with his Countryside Live champion from last month, Black Beauty.
Sired by the Shire Apollo and out of a British Blue cross cow, this 16-month-old heifer weighed in at 542kg and first lifted the heifer championship before being tapped out as overall champion by Northern Irish judge, Gareth Corrie, Drumhilla, 13 Crossnamuckley Road, Newtonwards.
And, in a repeat of the final line-up from Countryside Live, it was the bullock champion, No Likey, No Lighty from Michael, Melanie and Charlotte Alford, of Foxhill Farm, Cullompton, Devon, which stood reserve overall to the heifer.
Standing reserve to Black Beauty in the heifer championship was Miss Moneypenny, from Andrew White and Andrew Scarborough, Newland, Goole while reserve steer spot went to Limousin-sired The Outlaw, from James Alexander, Randalstown, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland.
First time exhibitors at Agri-Expo, 16-year-old Hannah Donaldson, together with her sister Katrina Donaldson and Dave Hall, took the baby beef championship with That's My Boy, a six-month-old steer by the Limousin sire, Soleil, and out of a British Blue cross dam.
Eight-month-old Limousin-sired Mr B from Callum, Grant and Ollie Bailey of Skelton, Howden, Goole, took the reserve baby beef title.
Lifting the overall title in the sheep section was Lanarkshire based Andrew Baillie, with his winning lambs from the lightweight Beltex class.
The pair of lambs, by Clary Prankster and out of ewes that are part of the 100 pure Beltex ewes at Carstairs Mains, weighed in at 38kg apiece and had previously been picked as Continental/Down champions before being awarded the overall title by Bill McKinnon, Scotbeef's sheep procurement manager.
Standing reserve to Andrew was the reserve champion Continental/Down pair from Joanne and John Hall, who won the overall accolade here two years ago.
