Old Mill presents coveted award at this week’s Dairy Show
Old Mill Rural Services was pleased to present this year’s Cattle Presentation Award to Hefin Wilson at the Royal Bath & West Society’s Dairy Show this week.
The Wilson family have enjoyed considerable showing success with both their Holstein and Jersey herds this year, and scooped the coveted Cattle Presentation Award with their Jersey cow, Bluegrass Heritages Lady.
“I am delighted to present this award to Hefin and his son Ifan, who takes such an interest in the farm,” said Ian Sharpe, partner at Old Mill’s Shepton Mallet office. “This is a real family affair, with three generations involved in the dairy enterprise at Tregibby Farm, Cardigan, Dyfed. It is always heartening to see people who take such pride in their work, and who display such wonderful animals for the general public to appreciate.”
The Wilson family also won the prestigious Supreme Championship at the Show with another Jersey cow, Bluegrass Jazzman Panama – the first Jersey ever to claim the award.
The Royal Bath & West of England Society was elated with another record attendance of more than 6200 visitors, with the Show continuing to grow steadily year-on-year. With major investment in the pipeline, the showground, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset, is set to become the country’s first energy self-sufficient showground.
