£2200 on behalf of Messrs. P F & M W Fishleigh of Broadwoodkelly. This cow calved early April and has been
served and was sold giving 42 Kgs. Messrs. S R Gilbert & Son from Sheepwash had another outstanding entry

“I would like to thank all customers past and present for making the ‘Cowshed’ the success that its
been. I made the decision in early March to call it a day, but due to Coronavirus unfortunately myself
and the team haven’t been there to say Goodbye! Days full of banter and fun with customers young
and old has been an absolute pleasure and I will miss you all.
Stay safe and thank you again!” ~ Jo ~
