Young Farmers Roadshow – Cattle Overwintering Competition Workshop

Join us at Standing Stones Hotel, Stenness for a workshop on the Young Farmers Cattle Overwintering Competition.

Graham Low, Orkney Auction Mart, will provide an overview of the competition, covering how to take part, ‘help to buy’ finance scheme, competition rules and scoring. As well as an overview of the current beef market.

After tea at the Stones we will head to Upper Onston where well-known Orkney show man Liam Muir will explain his tips and tricks for turning out and showing good beef cattle.

We will also cover how to manage your calf once its home, focusing on feeding strategies and nutrition considering animal age and weight.

This evening is aimed at Young Farmers who have previously taken part in the competition who want to enhance their skills, or anyone looking to compete for the first time and gain some insight prior to entry. We encourage attendees to ask questions to make the most of the evening.

Although this event is targeted at the Overwintering Competition, a lot of the content is relevant to anyone looking to learn more about buying and turning out show cattle, please come along!

Tea will be provided, therefore booking is required for numbers and dietary requirements.
