Bright and sunny start for cattle classes
There was an excellent entry for the classes with 18 cattle catalogued.
The second class after bull any age was cow any age and there were so many animals crowded into the small ring that the adjacent ring had to be incorporated so that the judge could see them walking.

The judge Ms Tamzin Mogg from England was specific with her judging and very helpful with her summing up.
The heifer class had a very wide age range and therefore a wide variety of animal, making the judging a difficult task.
However the calf under one year was an easier task.
Once all the judging was completed Ms Tamzin Mogg went round all the Dexter cattle lines and chatted with the competitors giving some useful tips.
