The way that they have organised the showing classes at the smallholder show is very unfair with mixed classes. They have said they will consider putting on individual breed classes if there are enough entrants but as I understand it, there will be no prize money at this stage
It is not unfair to put mixed breed classes on - it is the first year and they will want to play things by ear. The fact that they have offered to put on breed classes if entries are sufficient shows willing in my book. If enough Dexters had entered, they would have been given their own classes.
You obviously haven't read the schedule very carefully - £30 first prize, £20 second, £10 third. Champion, £150, Reserve Champion £75.
The rule about animals on Society stands not being allowed in the show is fairly standard - it applies to the sheep as well.
I think its really good that there will be cattle classes at this show - lets have a bit more positivity please.
