Entries for the ninth Royal Ulster Premier Beef & Lamb Championships are now open.
Earlier this summer Show organisers, the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS), announced new weight limits in the highly competitive beef sections.
Exhibitors have been advised that the weight limit for all calves has increased to 400kg and in the Ulster Housewife’s Championship, the maximum weight for eligible cattle has increased from 590kg to 600kg.
Further details can be found in the Prize Schedule and entries can be made online here.
This year’s Championships will take place on Tuesday 24th November at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn and entries will close on Tuesday 3rd November 2026.
On the day of the Show, beef cattle exhibitors will compete for the renowned 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 lambs at 5:00pm and calves at 6:30pm followed by beef cattle as all competition stock shown on the day will be offered for sale.
Carolyn Greene, RUAS Business Development Executive announced, “We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to this year’s show and sale at the Eikon in November.
“Following the committee’s decision to revise several weight restrictions and adjust classes we’re anticipating a fantastic line-up of entries and a highly competitive judging timetable. This will be a show you won’t want to miss!”
