Paula Hynes: The show whites are packed away, temporarily

A sick heifer, the National Dairy Show, and autumn breeding planning - it's all happening this week for our Farming columnist Paula Hynes.

The show whites are finally packed away for a while and I truly am looking forward to a few quiet weekends. The girls did themselves proud with Georgie finishing in third place in the final of the IHFA junior showmanship league whilst Becky finished second in the IHFA Intermediate showmanship final. 

Two of our heifers got third placings, we were delighted with our Fame heifer as she is from an outstanding cow family and has all the potential to make a superb cow herself.
