The president of the National Farmers Union is celebrating after his Aberdeen Angus bull was crowned supreme champion at the Southern District Agricultural Show.

Howard Quayle’s bull was a popular winner at Great Meadow in a competition judged by president of Tynwald Noel Cringle.

The accolade of reserve champion went to a Belgian blue bull owned by Graham Watterson.

The Kermode family from Orrisdale took second reserve with a Texal ewe lamb, while the horse named as third reserve belonged to Member of the Legislative Council Clare Christian.

The show continues today (Sunday).

Among the attractions will be a young farmers' cookery competition, line dancing, demonstrations of various crafts by members of the WI, showjumping, children's sports and displays by stunts rider Steve Colley.
