Looking forward to the Welsh Dairy Show 2017

Next month’s Welsh Dairy Show will showcase dairy animals from across Wales and the borders. It will also feature small and large businesses promoting all aspects of the Welsh dairy industry.

The Show will go back to its traditional format this year, with the Calf and Handler element starting at 6pm on Monday, 23 October 2017, on the United Counties Showground, Nantyci, Carmarthenshire.

Judging of the various classes within the Holstein, Jersey, Dairy Shorthorn, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Brown Swiss and Forage sections of the Welsh Dairy Show will commence at 9.30am on Tuesday, 24 October 2017.

At 10.30am the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths AM, will officially open the Show, in the main ring.

Between midday and 1pm the Show’s Awards will be presented in the main ring including the NFU Cymru / NFU Mutual’s Welsh Dairy Stockperson of the year Award and the FUW / HSBC Outstanding Service to the Welsh Dairy Industry Award.

The Welsh Dairy Show has also run an art competition, for the second year, in the run up to the event. This year primary school pupils from across Wales were asked to draw a colourful picture on A4, which illustrated all the different products that can be made from milk including cheese, cream, yoghurt, butter and ice-cream.

The President of this year’s Show, Mansel Raymond, who farms at Jordanston hall, Haverfordwest, will announce the overall all-Wales winner of the competition at approximately 12.30pm in the main ring. The winner will receive £50 and a year’s supply of cheese from the Carmarthenshire Cheese Company and their school will receive £100. The second-place school pupil will receive £35 and the third-place pupil will receive £15.   

Following the Award presentations, the children will take part in a cookery demonstration with Lisa Fearn from Carmarthenshire’s Pumpkin Patch kitchen and garden school. Lisa will help the children make their very own pizzas with a cheese topping.

Entry to this year’s Welsh Dairy Show is £12 and is payable on the gate. There is a chance to win two tickets to this year’s Show on the event’s Facebook page or the United Counties Showground Twitter page

Mair James, organiser of the Welsh Dairy Show, said,

“We have something for all the family at this year’s event. As well as the traditional trade stands which deal with everything related to the Welsh dairy industry we also have cookery demonstrations for our younger visitors and more craft and jewellery stalls for the ladies. We look forward to seeing you all there.”

Enter our amazing Art Competition

How would you illustrate the versatility of milk? That is what organisers of the Welsh Dairy Show want primary school pupils throughout Wales to do in an exciting new Poster Competition being launched today on World Milk Day.

Primary school pupils throughout Wales are being asked to draw a colourful picture on A4, which illustrates all the different products that can be made from milk including cheese, cream, yoghurt, butter and ice-cream. But those that aren’t very arty can also get involved by sending in their favourite recipe, which includes a dairy product, with a photo of them making it.

Winners will be selected from each county of Wales. Each county winner will receive a Sports Drink Bottle, sponsored by Elanco, and a certificate. They will automatically be entered into the all-Wales final. The all-Wales winner will receive:

  • A year’s supply of their favourite type of cheese from the Carmarthenshire Cheese Company [delivered monthly]
  • £50, sponsored by Mole Valley
  • £100 for his or her school, sponsored by Castell Howell

The second place all-Wales finalist will receive £35 and the third place all-Wales finalist will receive £15. These prizes are also sponsored by Mole Valley.

The deadline for entries to be sent in is Friday, 15 September 2017. Recipe pictures can also be sent to the Welsh Dairy Show via Facebook and Twitter using the hastags #MightyMilk and #WelshDairyShow2017. The A4 posters and recipes should be sent to the Welsh Dairy Show, United Counties Showground, Nantyci, Carmarthenshire, SA33 5DR.

The winning images will be used in the promotional material for this year’s Welsh Dairy Show which takes place on Tuesday, 24 October on the Nantyci Showground, Carmarthen.

Huw Williams, Key Account Manager with animal health specialists, Elanco, said,

“We are delighted to play a part in this fantastic competition as it helps engage the younger generation with the story of milk. They can then understand the role milk plays, not just from a nutritional perspective but also in relation to our rural economy and our local landscape and culture.”

Steve Peace, owner of the Carmarthenshire Cheese Company, said,

“It is important to educate the younger generation about where their food, particularly dairy products, comes from. Good luck to everyone that takes part.”

Barrie Evans from Mole Valley Farmers said,

“I hope teachers use this opportunity to talk in class about milk and dairy farming. I hope as many primary school pupils as possible are encouraged to enter. I look forward to seeing all of the entries after they come in.”

Mair James, Organiser of the Welsh Dairy Show said,

“You don’t have to enter the competition through your school. Anyone of primary school age can draw an A4 picture and send it to me at the Welsh Dairy Show office on the United Counties Showground, Nantyci. Don’t delay – enter today!”
