ANNUAL STOCKMEN’S DINNER 2008

The third annual Stockmen’s Dinner and Cattle Show Presentation Night was held in King’s School’s Monastic Barn on Friday 11th April. Pymoor Show Committee (the organisers) are delighted to report that 97 people attended, a fantastic increase from 2 years ago, when it started with 42 attendees. The on-Farm Competition is gaining momentum every year and the judging had to take place over two days as there were some many entries.

The 2008 judge was Guy Kiddy, Head of Agriculture at Shuttleworth College, who kindly gave up a weekend in March to visit 24 farms, with a total of 26 herds. This encompassed an area from Ely to Brampton, Lakenheath and Bury St. Edmunds. Guy was accompanied by Chris Jackson, the competition organiser and Andrew (Roger) Moore, who acted as the photographer for the event. Guy spoke enthusiastically on the high standard of the cattle shown for his judging and the effort the owners had put into preparing the stock and their surroundings.

On behalf of the Show Committee John Pinnells Co-Chairman, thanked Guy and Roger for all their hard work.
