The Livestock Show draws visitors of all ages – and not just those with agriculture in their blood. The show puts particular emphasis on encouraging young handlers, and there are numerous trophies to be won. Classes include both Beef and Dairy Cattle (a milking machine is provided for the benefit of exhibitors), with sub-classes for native breeds and Dexter cattle; ten different sheep classes and a number of Alpaca classes run by (insert name of who does this bit please).
The Petting Zoo is also a popular attraction, part of our wish to encourage to get more young people interested in farming and animal husbandry.
