Guernseys made a welcome return to the Welsh Dairy Show after an absence of three years thanks to the effort made by Richard Norman and Catherine Mills to bring their cows from Somerset and they were in competition with Daffyd and Helen Cox and Colin and Hilary Evans from Laugharne …
This years Dairy Show at Shepton Mallet maintained its reputation for quality but quantity across all breeds, but the Jersey, was much reduced, this undoubtedly reflects the problems caused by TB and the economic pressures that beset the industry. It dissapoints me that exhibitors attend shows with just a single animal when I know that they have left quality animals at home.
Our Judge David Mann made as always a first class job of placing his classes and also impressed during the Interbreed classes.
