Halifax Agricultural Society - Cattle Section
Once more it’s that time of year again, it’s time for the Halifax Show!
Last year we had a wonderful day and good times were had by all. We had our
highest recorded number of entries and saw faces new and old join us in the
marquee. We also had the longest line of cattle in Yorkshire with our unbroken 200ft
marquee!
This year we will be returning to the two fantastic 200ft marquees we had in 2010 as
they offer more space between the lines of cattle. These will provide comfort and
shelter no matter whether it rains or shines. With the crazy weather we had in the
beginning of the year, let’s keep our fingers crossed we get some lovely sunshine.
Once again we are able to offer incredible prize money in all cattle classes. There will
also be ample provision of straw, water, electric and milking facilities for the dairy
section. Since it was such a success last year, we will once again be having a jet wash
for the cattle and tea and cakes for the exhibitors!
We are always keeping our eyes open for new ways to improve our classes and
competitions. We take great delight in putting together such show spectacles as the
Baby Beef class and the Pairs class, where we encourage exhibitors to work together.
We then try our best to educate the public and make them feel part of the show. This
keeps them hooked to the side of our cattle rings all day.
We are proud of The Halifax Show and the work that we do and take great pleasure
in providing such a wonderful experience for both the exhibitors and the public. So
come and join us to make this year even better than last!
