It’s show time on the Uists
This week saw the South Uist and Benbecula Agricultural Society’s annual show at Iochdar. The weather wasn’t up to much, but at least it didn’t rain. Cattle were back at the show after a two year absence, and the show had a good buzz this year. Next year the show will move from its traditional Wednesday after Games week to the Saturday after the North Uist Games, by the way, thus helping crofters who can’t get time off their other jobs, and also adding to a great week for visitors coming for Games and the Young Piper of the Year competition.
Supreme cattle champion was this babe just three months old. She was too shy to get any closer.Her breeder is Iain Francis Morrison of Gerinish.
Supreme sheep champions were these wedder lambs from John Maclean of Garrynamonie.
