This annual show is a real highlight in our calendar
It was a wet and windy South of England Show in Ardingly this year but it didn’t dampen the spirits of the 35 Oathall students who helped out each day.
Supported by staff and six ex-students the group from Oathall were involved in showing and stewarding and also led the famous cattle parade each day.
We brought home a number of rosettes, winning the best pair of pigs out of ten pairs on display and winning the best pair of calves too. Our students showed champion commercial pigs on behalf of Andrew Strong of Field Place Farm and the champion and reserve champion Lleyn Sheep on behalf of Peter Sutton of Rout Farm.
The show was rounded off nicely with not only a sunny day but with Oathall Farm students receiving the Richard Dean Trophy for tidiest cattle lines and best turned out cattle.
Well done everyone!
