Old Mill pleased to continue sponsorship of Cattle Presentation Awards

Old Mill Rural Services was pleased to present this year's Cattle Presentation Award to Nick Hill from Decoy Pool Farm, Cheddar, at the Royal Bath & West Show last week.

Mr Hill, who enjoyed considerable success in the showing classes with his Quaish herd of Limousin cattle, won the award for best presentation of cattle in the lines.

Ian Sharpe, partner at Old Mill's Shepton Mallet office, said he was delighted to continue the firm's tradition of sponsoring the Cattle Presentation Award. "We think it is important that the cattle in the lines are made accessible and are well presented to the public," he said.

"Many people come to the Bath & West Show to look at the wonderful animals which are on display, and it's important to maintain that link between farming and the general public.

"Nick Hill presented his Limousins beautifully, with great care and attention to detail, and it is with great pleasure that I present him with this award."

Old Mill Rural Services was also asked to present the Nelson Burden Award for outstanding contribution to the Show's beef cattle section. This year it was won by Geoffrey and Doreen Fuller from Minehead, Somerset.
