little bridge farm get a feeling. All winter I spend time looking for which ones I’m going to take and although the show team will probably have changed massively by the end of the year, as calves and cows alter, by the time summer comes I’m so excited.” Lizzie regularly shows at the Great Yorkshire, the Dairy Expo and Northern Expo at Carlisle and many other county shows including North Yorkshire County, Stokesley and Wensleydale. The new breed of women showing dairy cows and beef animals in recent years has made the world of showing a little bit glam. Lizzie has her own feelings about this. She said: “If you look good and your cows look good it’s so much more professional. You want to be proud of the way you look and the way your cows look and present yourself and the cows the best way you can. If you don’t look as though you take yourself seriously, how is anyone else going to take you seriously either? “At the same time I am fully aware that I am a female in agriculture and I do like to put make-up on and do my hair. I don’t think you always do get taken seriously when you try to look nice, but it’s still far better than not caring about your appearance.” Lizzie is the youngest of three children to her parents, Susan and Peter. Her brother John works in London and sister Helen works for Bishopton Veterinary Practice.
