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.
