SKIPTON Auction Mart added an extra fixture to its already busy Spring dairy calendar with a special draft sale from Keith Downs, who farms with his wife Pam and son, David, at Milnerfields Farm, Bingley. (May 3) With Keith a well-respected local farmer and long-standing director of the mart it was no surprise that a good number of buyers and potential purchasers were ringside, as Downs cattle have done well previously for buyers, with quite a few commending their durability and staying power. As a result, bidding was swift as people tried to secure other cattle from this home to add to their own herds.

AN agricultural society is planning its 107th show, following the success of its online show last year. Plans by the Wensleydale Agricultural Society for the Wensleydale Agricultural Show are starting to take shape, although the format is as yet unknown, and will depend on Covid-19 and the regulations for events and public gatherings in place at the time. Early in June 2020, the society decided a conventional show on the August Bank Holiday Monday would not be possible, but they wholeheartedly embraced a bespoke ‘one-off’ online event. Ele Acaster-Law, Alex Welch and Sarah Liddle – all longstanding committee members – were tasked with bringing the show to fruition and were supported by the show committee and sponsors who came on board.
