Picture round-up of winning cows from UK Dairy Expo

More than 400 cows were entered at this year’s UK Dairy Expo event at Carlisle, making it one of the largest shows of all the seven dairy breeds in the UK.

There was a truly international flavour to the event at Borderway Mart, which is now in its fourth year, with American dairy farmer Hank Van Exel and Canadian Barclay Phoenix picking the day’s delights.
