DEDICATED to the incredible UK beef and sheep industries , Borderway Agri Expo returns on Friday 28th October with a schedule brimming with all things livestock farming . Organised by the UK ’ s leading livestock auctioneers , Harrison & Hetherington , this event has established itself as one of the biggest of its kind in the UK , drawing crowds and exhibitors from all four corners of the UK .
With mainline sponsors , Morrisons , Norbrook , and Carrs Billington , the highlight of the event , as always are the 22 National Prime Sheep classes , Mule Gimmer Lamb class and the 25 National Suckled Calf and Cattle classes . In addition , Agri Expo will also host five breed society shows ; the Border British Blue Club Calf Show ; Simmental Regional Calf Show ; Beef Shorthorn National Calf Show ; Aberdeen Angus Winter National Show ; and the Hereford National Calf Show .
Attracting some of the finest sheep and cattle the UK has to offer , judging the line-up is no mean feat . Casting an eagle eye over the classes is Allan Wight of Crawford who will judge the Sheep classes , Michael Alford from Collumpton , Devon , who will judge the Commercial Cattle classes , and Duncan Semple of Argyllshire who will judge the Baby Beef classes . Judging the highly anticipated Mule Gimmer Lamb class is noted Cumbrian farmer , Trevor Foster .
Commenting ahead of this year ’ s event , Harrison & Hetherington Managing Director , Scott Donaldson , said : “ The return of Agri Expo last year following the pandemic really highlighted just how important and significant this event is to the industry . The line-up of livestock is absolutely second to none and it is a privilege to welcome some of the best cattle and sheep the UK has to offer .
“ Alongside the livestock classes , it is fantastic to see so many businesses coming together to showcase the latest trends and innovations within the industry which farmers can utilise on their own farms to enhance efficiency .”
Returning this year following its poignant inauguration last year , the David Thomlinson Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded to someone recognised for their commitment , success , and accomplishment within livestock farming . Presented by David ’ s wife , Sheila Thomlinson , judges will be looking for someone who , like David , has a passion for the future success of the industry and is an inspiration to others .
Always keen to encourage and support the next generation , there is plenty on offer for young people including Young Handlers classes and the David Allen Stockperson of the Year Competition . The latter is a specialist competition which aims to test the skills , knowledge and capabilities of progressive young livestock farmers in an ever-progressing industry .
Also returning this year is the H & H Land & Estates series of seminars which aims to explore and debate a variety of current industry challenges , changes , and focusses . With a panel of industry experts , the audience will have the opportunity to listen , learn and ask questions throughout these interactive sessions .
The backbone of the event is the myriad of trade stands all representing different areas of the industry . From breed societies to feed companies to machinery dealers , all demonstrating the latest research , developments , and technology which farmers can adopt to improve efficiency and production back at home .
It has been announced that the My Name ’ 5 Doddie Foundation will be the official charity of this year ’ s event . My Name ’ 5 Doddie Foundation , was established in 2017 following Doddie Weir OBE ’ s announcement that he was suffering with Motor Neuron Disease ( MND ), since his diagnosis Doddie has dedicated his life to helping seek further research . Fundraising will take place throughout the day , with monies raised from initiatives such as programme sales , competitions , and collection boxes .

Scott concludes : “ Agri Expo covers all aspects of the British livestock industry and there really is something for everyone . It is an incredible showcase of the hard work and dedication from our British farmers , and we are very proud to be able to celebrate them through Agri Expo .”
