I compiled these tables of previous prize winners at the Orkney shows
from old show reports in The Orcadian, and Orkney Today. They proba-
bly contain errors. If you spot any errors I’d be grateful if you could let
me know by emailing shows@scarth.net. You can download these tables
from http://www.scarth.net/shows. I’m constantly adding to this site,
so check back occasionally to see if there is anything new. I’d like to add
photos of prize winners to the site, and I’d appreciate it if anyone with any
suitable photos got in touch.

1.1 County Show Interbreed Prizes

The interbreed prizes on offer from 2006 are very different from the prizes for 2005 and prior years. Before 2006, in addition
11
to the supreme and reserve championships, there were cups for the best bull, the best cow or heifer, the best butcher’s beast
and many others besides. From 2006 there are only cups for the supreme champion, reserve champion, best native breed,
best continental breed, and best cross breed.
