North West Herd Competition

.

Last night was the annual dinner of the North West Shorthorn herd competition. A packed room of 50 farmers, friends and families enjoyed a good meal at The Greyhound in Shap. The highlight of the evening was the judge's (Owain Harries of Llanelli) summing up of his visit in September, and his positive comments on all the herds. The cups and certificates were then presented to the winning herds, and the evening rounded of with a well supported raffle.
