on EasterMonday. Members of the Welsh and ShropshireYoung

Breeders held their second annu- al ‘Dragon Jerseyfest’ Showat Carmarthen Livestock Centre on April 1st. Once again the quality of

affected the number of cattle for- warded forjudging, butMatt Pye, of BayViewJerseys, Lancashire, still had his work cut out to judge the high quality of handlers and stock in the ring. Agood crowd of spectators,


all wrapped up against the cold, gathered to watch the excellent handling skills of the members in the showmanship classes fol- lowedbythe calf and cowclass- es.
