Somewhere in the region of 125,000
people visited the Royal Cornwall Show this
year; at times it felt as if every single one of
them wanted to stop to rectal 'Daisy'! As one
of the last true, large agricultural shows the
farming fraternity from far and wide were
in attendance.
Cracking weather, a perfect location adjacent
to the main livestock ring and enthusiastic
'staffing' meant the XLVets stand was the place
to be! This provided a fabulous showcase for
XLVets in the South West and also the
'FarmSkills' project. Situated in 'AI Alley'
nestling amongst the breed societies and
AI companies and adjacent to the main
cattle ring, we were treated to a constant
flow of interest from livestock farmers and
associated trades.
Well done to XLVet member practices
and their staff from Calweton, Rosevean,
Penbode and St Boniface for their efforts
with the XLVets stand at the event.
