Old Mill celebrates livestock presentation at Royal Bath & West Show
Old Mill Rural Services was pleased to continue its support of livestock exhibitors at last week’s Royal Bath & West Show, sponsoring two prestigious prizes.
The prizes were awarded to the best presented beef and dairy cattle in the lines, rewarding exhibitors for extra care and attention to how the cattle were shown off to the general public.
Scooping the beef presentation prize were Judith Denning and her daughter Jessica with their Aberdeen Angus cattle from Temple Farm, Bridgwater, Somerset. In the dairy lines, AG Hinks & Sons took the Dairy Presentation Award with their Kingtonmagna cows from Lower Nyland Farm, Gillingham, Dorset. The Hinks family also claimed the reserve champion prize in the Holstein classes, and won the Best Pair, Best Group (pictured) and a string of other rosettes.
Neil Cox, senior manager at Old Mill’s Yeovil branch, presented the prizes. “I am thrilled to award these prizes to such worthy winners, at what has been an exceptional Show,” he said. “Visitors flock to the Bath & West Show in their thousands every year to see the livestock on display, and Old Mill is pleased to continue its support for the Show and the farming community alike.”
