Closing date approaching fast for East of England Winter Stock Festival

Calling all Aberdeen-Angus breeders in the south of England and East Anglia – the closing date for entries for this year’s East of England Winter Stock Festival is fast approaching (next Monday 5^th October) so if you haven’t got your entries in already – you best put pen to paper!

This year’s show and sale will take place on Friday 13^th and Saturday 14^th November and will be held at the Peterborough Showground.

Last year’s show was a huge success, comments livestock manager Kerry Buttriss. “We were particularly pleased with the numbers forward in the commercial classes, not to mention the quality of stock, with exhibitors coming from as far away as Wales, Derby and Somerset.

The pedigree offering will see official society sales taking place for Aberdeen-Angus and taking care of judging will be Society president William McLaren jnr, Perthshire of the Netherton herd.

Taking care of official sale proceedings once again will be Newark Livestock Auctioneer Paul Gentry. A substantial amount of prize money will be on offer for exhibitors thanks to generous sponsorship from ASDA, Biobest Herdcare and Caltech.

Schedules are now available for the East of England Winter Stock Festival and entries close on the 5^th October. For more information contact Kerry Buttriss 01733 234451; email kbuttriss@eastofengland.org.uk or visit www.eastofengland.org.uk
