Great Yorkshire Show Aberdeen-Angus to star at GYS 2016 »»THE 2016 GREAT Yorkshire Show will this year play host to the AberdeenAngus Cattle Society’s Summer National Show, to take place on the first day of the show. Cattle will travel from England, Scotland and Wales to compete at Harrogate under judge Graeme Massie of the noted Blelack herd, Aberdeenshire. ‘Cattle will travel from England, Scotland and Wales to compete at Harrogate’ “From pedigree breeders looking to engage themselves with a diverse world of genetics to commercial beef producers looking to produce a premium product within market specification, or even from the point of view of a dairy producer looking for short gestation bulls to get cows in calf quickly and calve easily, this breed has so much to offer,” explains Society chief executive Johnny Mackey. www.farmers-mart.co.uk Apr/May 2016 27
