NZ Dairy Event 2021 was held over the 27th and 28th January at Manfeild, Fielding. Due to Covid and M.Bovis this was the first time the show was held since 2018.
The Ayrshire section was kindly judged by Derek Hayward, with the help of an associate judge Alannah Skedgwell.
History was made, with an Ayrshire taking out the Supreme Exhibit for the first time. A huge CONGRATULATIONS to the Gilbert Family for achieving this great success, and to everyone who exhibited at the show. The Ayrshire Section was not only strong in numbers, but also quality and sportsmanship.
