A leading line-up of judges is casting its professional eye over the show ring for the six dairy breeds competing under the spotlights.

The first floor of the venue features the Sharing Knowledge zone with industry panels and seminars with speakers covering key dairy industry subjects that inform the audience and create topical discussion.

The external areas feature practical demonstrations on calf anatomy painting as well as foot trimming and knife sharpening, along with type classification demonstrations.
