On Friday night we held our Annual Stockjudging Competition at Longlea Farm by kind permission of the Baillie Family in conjunction with Lanarkshire District Young Farmers. It was a fantastic turnout with 209 competitors! 🤩

A few big thanks must go to:
🌟Our hosts, The Baillie Family - they have put in a power of work and turned out 4 tremendous classes of dairy on the night👏🏻
🌟Andy Baillie for supplying the beef cattle and sheep!🐑
🌟Our judge, Ewan Lawrie who I’m sure you’ll agree did a fantastic job 👏🏻
🌟Chief marker, Jenna Ballantyne and her team of fabulous markers!!
🌟Lanarkshire clubs for the spread of teas, cakes & sandwiches 🧁☕️🥪

Finally, Our AMAZING sponsors for all their support for this year! It is extremely appreciated and contributed some fantastic prizes for our winners🫶🏼
