Looked good on the live feed. Cumbrian lads having a hell of a day.
Our lot thought their 2 thirds & a forth were ok. Had 3 heifers there. Problem when you calve at 2 don't always have the power against older heifers. As the judge commented in his reasons they will come out better next lact.

I think it's aimed at the spender types in dairy, gobsmacking how many service company's there are to the dairy industry.
BELOWAVERAGE

Might be aimed at them, but it doesn't stop you having a good day out there, as me and the mrs did today, and believe me we're not the spender type.

We had a grand day wandering around a few interesting things picked up, and it’s always interesting to see how the big spenders operate. Despite my feelings around the showing job you can’t fail to be impressed with the level of work that goes into them cows. Just like to see a bit more in terms of constituents on the boards behind them although I fully understand they’re bred solely on looks.

On the contrary, ours are bred to produce & to be here for longer than average. If the cow is correctly put together you have a better chance of achieving those aims IMO

We went for the first time and had a great day out. I really enjoyed the foot trimming demo.
Some very nice cows there and I felt a bit sorry for some of the handlers being dragged round the ring by their impatient cows but overall a very enjoyable, well organised event

It's not an arable show, some people have cows to milk before they can get away.
Bet the NFU didn't have a pims o'clock like they do at cereals

Semex should win best coffee and best beerI went in the end.
Thought it was blooming busy after dinner, or I'm not used to folk nowadays.
Bought a molasses tank and a stainless water trough.
CF stand didn't tell me anything I'd like to hear.
Semex stand won best coffee.
You can see me and @pappuller having a natter in one of them pics
