All the show team are content after their trip to Emerald Expo, it is always a relief to see them fit and healthy after their big adventure, with the glorious weather this week we have been letting the show cows out in a paddock early every morning for a couple of hours, they never have much interest in grazing but the exercise does them good, given that they are all clipped they have to return indoors before the sun gets strong or they would get sunburnt.
