Cartmel Show

A day of two halves - showing at Cartmel, and starting to mow for silage.
Those of us who went to Cartmel had a good day, despite a few hiccups and irritations (no water when we arrived, beef judged before dairy). There were more Dairy Shorthorns than any other breed - eighteen I think (from four exhibitors) with a very poor showing of Black and Whites. We only took one trailer with four animals and were very pleased with the results.
