The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) has officially launched the seventh Royal Ulster Premier Beef & Lamb Championships.
This year, the Championships will take place on Tuesday 26th November at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn. Entries are now open, the Prize Schedule can be viewed online, and entries made at beefandlamb.org.uk
Entries will close on Friday 25th October 2024 at 5pm.
On the day of the Show, beef cattle exhibitors will compete for the coveted title of Supreme Champion and in the lamb classes all eyes will be on the Best Butcher Pair. Once showing is complete, the ever-popular auction will commence with calves at 4:45pm, lambs starting at 6:15pm and beef cattle at 7:00pm as all competition stock shown on the day will be offered for sale.
This year, a new special prize has been introduced for the highest placed exhibitor bred animal in each of the cattle sections. The winner will be awarded the Rodgers Family Perpetual Cup and be crowned the Bred & Fed Champion.
