A big thank you to John and Pat Garratt for hosting the National Dexter Beef Network workshop yesterday in Haywards Heath. Rob & I travelled to West Sussex and we were not to be disappointed. We saw some lovely Dexters and Sussex cattle - a credit to John and Pat. Both of us had a most enjoyable day, met some new faces, and have chatted about the facts and figures produced for the meeting by John & Pat and Martyn Ryder.

Thank you.
