Some of these photographs have lain in the library gathering dust over the years, but with modern technology, and a bit of graft, Farming Life are delighted to be able to offer their readers a fascinating look back in time with our new videos and reels.
This collection of old photos is from 1981.

Pictured in March 1981 is Farming Life’s Agnes Scott presenting the paper’s trophy at the Charolais show at Balmoral to Robert Simpson from Lambeg. He is pictured with his brother James. The trophy was for the best pair of full French cattle by the same sire, bred by an exhibitor. The winning heifers, also pictured, were also supreme champion and reserve.
