Liskeard Show 2018
Cattle and sheep classes take centre stage
T
he cattle and sheep classes are always one of the highlights of the show enjoying competitors from Cornwall to Somerset, judges coming from Wales, Kent and Northamptonshire as well as more locally based.
There are one hundred and forty three sheep classes. The Champion judged by Mr B Davies from Powys in Wales. The new Fleece Competition
proved a great success last year with over 25 fleeces being on display, so they will continue this year with the Wool Spinners in the same marquee.
This year there are forty eight cattle classes. The Supreme Champion and Beef Interbreed Special Prizes being judged by Mr E Mills from Bristol, Avon and the Dairy Interbreed Special Prizes by Mr M Grose from Helston. We would like to thank Kernow Farm & Equine for sponsoring the Cattle Section.
The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association has organised a Cornish Points Championship whereby points will be offered towards Prizes of first £100 and second £50 in both the open cattle and sheep classes for the exhibitors gaining the most points over the 2018 Cornish Summer show season.
