GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW: Double success for British Lop

Mr Collings claimed his first Great Yorkshire Show inter-breed title with his British Lop champion, Liskeard Lulu 59, which then also went on to take the Pig of the Year title.

The home-bred August 2022-born gilt is due with its first litter on August 1 and has already been breed champion at Devon, Royal Cornwall and Bath and West shows this season.

Reserve female and reserve overall was the Berkshire champion, Blackops Suzanne 25, a January 2022-born sow from Peter Sykes, Hope Valley.

The male championship went to Steve Loveless, Bridport, with his November 2022-born Large White boar, Portbredy Champion Boy 6761.

The reserve Pig of the Year title went to Paul Churchyard, Breckles, with his Large Black boar, Breckles Attempt 21, which had been inter-breed champion at Suffolk Show.
