ORGANISERS of next week's English Winter Fair have invested £40,000 to provide cattle exhibitors with improved cattle stalls ahead of the weekend event on November 21-22.
The 100 stalls, manufactured by Cheadle-based livestock equipment specialist AIE, arrived at the English Winter Fair site this week on two articulated lorry loads just in time for showground staff to begin the week-long set-up.
Entries are up at this year's event so the extra stalling will definately be needed says show secretary Kate Tomlinson.
"We've around 50 extra cattle this year and have seen higher entries across all cattle and sheep sections for both live competitions and in the carcass section," says Mrs Tomlinson.
While entries for livestock classes have now closed allowing show catalogues to be printed, producers and growers are being encouraged to consider entering produce classes for cereals, fodder and potatoes, and products competitions for pies, pastries, sausage, bacon and gammon made with British Meat.
Entries for produce classes close early on the event's opening day of Saturday 21 November and products classes early on Sunday 22 November.
