With entries from all over the area, the competition took place over three days last week, and was judged by Mr Mungo Bryson, Whiteflat Farm, Mauchline.
Eleven exhibitors entered, two of which were new entrants, making it great competition, . It was great to have as many, making it worthwhile for the competitors and the judge who gave up his time.
With very few agricultural shows in the calendar this year, this sort of competition was a great opportunity for some of these animals to receive the recognition they deserve.
The Firm of A Harvey from The Drum Farm, Beeswing won the South West Scotland Holstein Clubs Top award, the Clydesdale Bank Trophy for overall Production and Inspection. The competition was kindly sponsored by Harrison and Hetherington, who are great supporters of the club.
