Main ring cattle judging.
Nowhere near as many cattle entered this year. In fact it’s been diminishing every year sadly.
A combination of much larger farms, perhaps not the same family pride, the time it takes & cost.
The cattle tents used to be packed with cattle & their families but no longer.
Three good things:
1. A haircut so much cooler.
2. Fish & chip supper just because we were out in the village but price has gone up massively.
3. A present of a lovely pot with yellow dahlias to go in the garden.
Smart looking Ayrshire's .. same thing happening here st shows only the survivor's of the original families still showing.. know one had the time?
Leaders look smart in their blue and white..
Such a shame the numbers keep dropping off. These Ayrshires look so nice. My dad had an Ayrshire herd so we always had this breed of calf to take to school for calf club day.
Lovely gentle rural scene. Are farming shows on the decline Pat? I was very sad to see recently that Clive and Amanda Owen (from Our Yorkshire farm) are to separate
@busylady No I don’t think so Judith, all the ones round here that always take place every year are still on. In fact I think everyone is so ready to get out & about plus they are outside that they could be more popular than ever. Ours was packed out both days.
As for Clive & Amanda it’s very sad a surprise. I fear the whole thing got out of hand & the simple farming story changed to a multi media circus.
