The Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show
















Our daughter, Heather, has been working on a farm on Salisbury Plain during the long summer holidays. The farm is a National Nature Reserve because of its rare flora and associated invertebrates.

The farm specialises in traditional breeds of livestock and is best known for its Longhorn cattle and Shropshire sheep.

A number of the Longhorns were entered into the Gillingham and Shaftesbury agricultural show, a few miles from where we live.

The farm won rosettes for best calf (pictured), second best steer (pictured) and third best cow.

A lovely warm dry day for the show too!
