Cattle lines

Harry is there chatting to our nephew in the cow tent.
Lots of great entries & the cream of British Farming in every section.

Three good things:
1. Weather was the best they had had for years, thousands there enjoying the sun & livestock.
2. A demo by the butcher in Garstang, he showed us how they cut up & prepaired a whole cow hind quarter. He prepares many cuts in a way that the public can come in & chose something that's pretty much ready for cooking, that's the way they like it these days.
3. We bought some steak, enough for two meals for £6 after the demo.

Off down the road for a fund raising race night so haphazard with commenting I'm afraid!
I love country fairs! This is a nice shot - I like the soft lighting in the tent. The line of cows look so relaxed as well.

@julzmaioro Very cheap Julz, show price! It was fascinating watching it being cut up! I was impressed with their sharp knives!

Such a British type of event - and long may it continue! Very wholesome and community-building.

These are big beasts here and one can understand why there are no females in this tent - other than a cow!

I just love cows. Our annual show is on in September and I hope to go and take some interesting photos. Think I will probably have to go on my own so I can take as long as I like

A super capture. I was at a similar show yesterday, one we look forward to every year. John provides the fire cover for it, with the Land-rover
