The cream of the country’s cattle will be on parade at The Dairy Show at the Bath & West Showground, with entries acclaimed as “excellent” by organisers.
Entries are well up in all sections with 248 tradestands and 370 cattle, at the Show which takes place on Wednesday, October 4th at the Showground at Shepton Mallet and is sponsored by NatWest, Dairy Crest and Farmers Guardian.
Other highlights include seminars and demonstrations and the presentations of the coveted Dairy Industry Award to a key player in the industry in recognition of their services to dairying, the South West Dairy Farmer of the Year Award, and the Supreme Cattle Championship.
Farmers Guardian’s popular Speakers’ Corner is making its first appearance at the Show and is likely to be the centre of some lively debate with the line-up of top speakers including Farmers for Action chairman and founder David Handley.
And EBLEX - the English Beef and Lamb Executive - will be demonstrating how dairy farmers can get Better Returns for cull cows at their stand (56b) next to the Mendip cattle building.
“We are very excited about this year’s Dairy Show,” said show manager Alan Lyons this week. “We have great support from tradestand exhibitors and excellent cattle entries proving this is a real hands on dairy cattle show for the dairy farmer seeking advice and information on the techniques and issues of a challenging industry.”
