Shorthorn cow is supreme champion

Belinda and Duggie Coole's shorthorn cow has been crowned supreme champion at the Southern District Agricultural Show, at Great Meadow, Castletown.

The accolade of reserve champion went to an Aberdeen Angus bull owned by the president of the Manx National Farmers' Union, Howard Quayle and his wife Lorraine.

Alan and Sandra Jones took second reserve with a Belgian Blue, while the sheep named the third reserve belonged to Neil and Vicky Sloane.

The show continues on Sunday, when the attractions will include taekwondo demonstrations, dog racing, show jumping, children's sports, and a display by stunts rider Steve Colley.
