Schedules and details for 2012 will appear shortly.

We are looking forward this year to another great show, following our very successful level of entries in 2012. The cattle section, along with goats, sheep and horses, shows the public that we are a true agricultural show. The cattle will be housed under cover in a 200 ft tent with milking facilities available for the Dairy section. We aim to improve year on year and with the introduction of the Native Breed classes in 2011 we hope to see the finest cattle ever.
