The Dairy Youngstock and Autumn Fatstock Show returned to Whitland Mart in September, but with dairy classes only.

Restrictions due to the pandemic curtailed the event from fully returning but there was excellent support for the classes that did run.

For the Holsteins, both in showman and calf classes, this event is an eliminator to the All Breeds, All Britain Calf Show held in Peterborough mid-October.

President for the day was auctioneer Huw Evans and the event was held at the site by kind permission of JJ Morris.

The competitions were judged by Brian Miller of the Moorshard Holstein and Sedgemoor Brown Swiss herds.

Commentator was Elwyn Thomas, the ring steward, Owain Harris, and the committee chairman, Ricky Jones

Thanks were expressed to JJ Morris and the mart staff for their help and to the sponsors, to the show secretary, Sian Williams, and the committee members setting up the show and cleaning up afterward.
