enjoy it. Is it the South Suffolk Show? There should be one or two along to advise. Don't forget some straw & feed. If your cattle are out for the first time it is worth getting there as early as possible so they get used to the sight and sounds of the show.
good luck

We have just come back from Leics County show this weekend. Turnout of 28 dexters whereas last year there were 14, so thats double the number.Lets hope the trend continues with the rest of the shows as the year goes on.
Dexters won Dairy supreme champion, only because there were no Holsteins and no jerseys forward, its been many a year since there were none of them!
Still it will look good in the press.
Best of luck Paul and Victoria i am sure it will go well.
