Milking, yogurt tasting and butter making were just a few of the activities on offer at this year’s Nottinghamshire County Show.
The National Farmers Union hosted a range of dairy based activities to help raise awareness about the dairy farming industry.
The British dairy industry is going through a rough period at the moment with milk prices falling and debt for farmers across the county rising.
With this in mind the NFU decided to dedicate their stalls at this year’s show to all things dairy.
Visitors were able to make butter from scratch, try their hand at milking a cow and see two Montbeliarde cows close up.
Andy Guy, the NFU’s county advisor in Nottinghamshire, said: "By raising awareness of what is involved in dairy farming and producing a single pint of milk or a pack of butter, hopefully the consumers will be more understanding and make sure they buy British."
He said that people now are less aware of where their food comes from.
Through teaching people about the process all the way back to the field, he hoped that people would become more engaged and interested in the origins of their food.
The annual show was held at Newark Showground and attracted thousands of visitors over the weekend.
FarmingUK TV was there to capture it.
