Weather doesn't frighten off Burwarton Show visitors as a muddy good time is had by all
Sturdy footwear was the order of the day as farmers and their pigs, sheep and cattle flocked to Shropshire's annual one day festival of agriculture.
Despite occasional robust showers the Burwarton showground stood up well in the car parks and parade rings and visitors heeded advice to wear wellies and walking boots.
Sue Powell, who is a part of the family farm at St Milborough, appreciated all the hard work that the organisers had put in to the day. She and her daughter Vikki Powell, 26, were there with the best of the best of their texel and badger-faced texel sheep.
"It's a lovely event," she said. "It's nice to show here and see lots of people supporting it and putting all the work into it."
All over the showground there were signs that the animals had been cleaned, buffed and presented in the very best ways to attract buyers.
Philippa Owens, who farms alongside her husband John at Woodhouse Farm, in Shobden, has sheep, cattle and Welsh cobs as well as kale and turnips on the land they look after.
