GRAND FINALE TO THE 166TH GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW

 GRAND FINALE TO THE 166TH GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW

The finale of the Great Yorkshire Show saw champions names in the Grand Cattle Parade and the Blythewood Beef Pairs as well as in honey, pigeon and farriers.

The Continental pair winners were Charolais, while the Native title went to a pair of Herefords. The Charolais were Miss E Pendlebury’s heifer, Jessops Ugogirl and Mr and Mrs M Alford’s bull Hollywell Unclebob, while winning the Native topped off a hugely successful final day at the Great Yorkshire Show for the Harrison family.

Already having won the beef pairs and reserve in the Beef Group, they were triumphant again in the pairs with Moralee1Pippa and calf, Pippa. The pair was completed by Beth Hutchinson’s bull, Vodka.

There were strong entries for the new British Miniature Horse classes, with spectators flocking to the Ridings Ring to see the tiny horses. The Championship went to Hannah Miller of Burnley with her yearling filly, TLF Matisse, owned by breeder David Kelly.

Rachel Coates, Show Director, said: “My first event as Show Director has been an amazing experience and I am overjoyed about the way the week has gone. Every visitor I have been able to speak to has told me how much they value the event and what a good time they have had.

“Overall, the show proved a spectacular success and featured visits from TV presenters Helen Skelton and Matt Baker as well as Peter Wright from Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet and Rob and Dave Nicholson of Cannon Hall Farm.

“They were on chat shows throughout the show on the Ariat GYS Stage with presenter Christine Talbot. There were fashion shows every day.

“The 166th Great Yorkshire Show has been a sell out with 140,000 visitors over four days celebrating the very best of British agriculture.

“Some 8,500 animals have been exhibited in pursuit of all-important prize rosettes, and the future of the industry has been on display in a bigger and better Innovation Zone and by the Future Farmers of Yorkshire at their ever-popular Breakfast Meeting at the GYS Stage,” added Rachel.
