Showing competitors at this year’s UK Dairy Day have the chance to take home significant monetary prizes as this year’s total fund reaches an impressive £20,000.

Taking place on Wednesday 13th September, the UK Dairy Day 2017 is set to be the hub for dairy breeders, displaying the most exquisite cattle.

With a prize fund totalling £20,000, competitors are being encouraged to put forward their entries and be a part of the UK’s leading cattle showing event.

The prize fund is generated by retained sponsors from the 2016 event, as well as support this year from new sponsors.

Businesses from across the dairy supply chain have invested significantly into UK Dairy Day which is now in its 4th year – demonstrating their commitment to the sustainability and success of the dairy industry.

With Anglia Farmers on board as cattle infrastructure sponsor, it enables Holstein UK, the organisers of the show, to be able to offer free entry for all cattle.

Lynden Bustard, Cattle Show Manager and Chief Steward, commented: “Excitement is already building for UK Dairy Day this September. Introducing the new NBDC breed village and welcoming The National Ayrshire Show are two real highlights – and with a prize fund of £20,000, we are just so appreciative of the generous support from dairy businesses.

“Our aim is to be right at the heart of UK dairy breeders both commercial and pedigree and be amongst the very best cattle. Now hosting two National Shows, UK Dairy Day really is the show to be seen at, compete at and do business at!”
