East of England Winter Stock Festival kicks in to gear

Well I’m here in Peterborough ready for the East of England Winter Stock Festival. This is the first year for the event and I have to say I’m incredibly impressed. The cattle numbers in the commercial classes are very strong and they have pulled in entries from as far a field as Wales, Yorkshire, Somerset and Kent.

Pedigree numbers are also good, so I think we’re in for a good day!

Classes are now underway with Hugh Dunlop in charge of the commercials and James Playfair Hannay in action shortly on the Angus and Shorthorns.
