This weekend marks the last chance to enter this year’s Scottish Agricultural show.
Strong entries have been received, but there is still time to enter (by midnight tomorrow) and you can do that by visiting scottish agriculturalshow.co.uk.
The show features a range of competitions for breeders and riders to showcase their finest animals.
The cattle section promises to be keenly contested and features eight sections: Aberdeen-Angus, Beef Shorthorn, Highland Cattle, any other native breed, Charolais, commercial cattle, Limousin and any other continental breed.
Meanwhile, the goat section features a range of classes for dairy, pygmy and Boer goats.
In the sheep section breeders will get the chance to enter seven classes – Blackface, Suffolk, Texel, Beltex, Bluefaced Leicester, commercial and any other breed.
Lastly, the horse section features eight categories which cater for riders and breeders.
These are: Clydesdales; Highlands; Shetlands; Mixed Mountain & Moorland Large & Small Breeds (excluding Highland & Shetland) of any age and any sex; Riding Pony/Hunter Pony of any age or sex, but not exceeding 153cm at maturity; Hunters of any age or sex; pure-bred, part-bred or Anglo Arab of any age or sex; and coloured native/cob/traditional non-native/any other breeds of any age or sex.
The show also features sections for young handlers across all categories – cattle, sheep, goats and horses.
Each submission requires a video to be filmed and uploaded on to YouTube and a £5 donation via JustGiving in support of RHET.
