Bred by L and E Fowlie, Alford, Rogue is a June-born bullock by Limousin sire Rossignol and out of a Limousin-bred dam.
In the pedigree cattle section, reserve overall and female champion in the Aberdeen-Angus contest went to August 2018-born heifer Retties Lady Rose. Put forward by Richard and Carol Rettie, Methven, Perth, she is by Water End Payton.
Turriff breeders Hamish and Margaret Sclater, from Denhead Farms, Dunlugas, took the reserve Aberdeen-Angus heifer calf championship with Deveron Kleo.
