Great Yorkshire Show 2021

Great Yorkshire Show
Written By Lynne Dickens

Congratulations must go to everyone involved in staging the largest Agricultural Show since 2019! The GYS Committee, Directors and staff worked tirelessly to make sure the event was a safe Covid show for everyone. This 3- day show was extended to four days, ensuring visitors were spread out over the duration of the show and there were more attractions on the showground.

The sun shone for Highland cattle day and Bonnymeg came out on top.

Our judge for the day was Mr Willie MacLean, Barcaldine By Oban and his choice was Bonnymeg of Moorside. Bred and owned by Mr R and Mrs D Bradley from Bradford in West Yorkshire, she comes from a long line of Bonnymegs stretching back to Robert’s first purchase at the Oban sale in 2005. Robert believes he is the 1st Yorkshireman to win this award.
