Entries for the 8^th Traditional and Native Breeds National Show and Sale are closing soon, although breeders making entries on line have a week longer to submit them than those applying by post.

Postal entries for the show and sale – which will be held on Friday 10th and Saturday 11 September 2010 – should reach Melton Mowbray Market by Friday 30th July, while those applying online have until Friday 6 August.

This year’s event is expected to attract entries from up to 10 cattle and 24 sheep breeds, with the British Lop Society also running its Lop of the Year show and sale on Saturday.
