The Great Yorkshire Show
As a local Yorkshire farmer I have always been a great supporter of the Great Yorkshire Show and ever since I was a young boy going with my father to help him in his role as a cattle ring steward I have tried to play an active role in supporting the event. For the last twelve years now I have been carrying on the role, volunteering my services as a cattle ring steward which involves getting all the different cattle into the correct judging rings for their different classes and making sure the judge turns up on time.
This year saw the 150th anniversary of the show as it welcomed Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to visit. Despite the weather which made the ground rather wet under foot it was another successful year as the show goes from strength to strength. It is now certainly the North’s leading agricultural show as it yet again produced a fantastic showcase for British agriculture.
