New Products Zone – Top 10 Announced

Linked to the show theme 'Sharing Knowledge', UK Dairy Day will be featuring a 'New Product Zone' showcasing the very best of new products launched since 1st January 2015. Entries have been scrutinized by a panel of leading agricultural industry experts and now the Top 10 have been selected. Drum roll…

Carl Smith, UK Dairy Day Show Director, said: " Following the success of last year's event, we have worked hard to improve and enhance the running of the show to present a first class experience.

"The theme for 2015 is 'sharing knowledge for a profitable dairy industry' and aims to engage, inspire and educate. The Cattle Show is one of the focal points of the event and this year is enhanced by the new Red Ribbon Sale at the end of the day. The event will represent a fantastic array of cattle breeds – and of course some great competitive spirit amongst breeders!"
