Liz took my showing virginity this year
letting me help with her July gilts at the smallholders at Builth. I then ventured out on my own at Heathfield and with lots of help from Oaklands all went well we didn't lose the pig or fall over or any of the other mishaps I imagined might happen! And we ended up with a rosette!
My first year showing this year and have unfortunately only managed one due to poor organisation skills on my part mostly. Sows farrowing too close to a show, missing entry closing dates!
I have bought a huge wall planner for next year to try to help, planning matings in the next couple of weeks for januarys.
Everyone I have met has been really friendly and helpful, (aside from one scary steward at Builth )and I can't wait for next year. I might even venture down the M4 too.
