This event provides a unique platform for breeders of traditional and rare breed livestock to exhibit their animals, buy new bloodlines and sell their cattle, sheep and poultry.

Entry forms and schedules are now available to download from the website at www.rbstni.co.uk The Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST) is the UK’s only charity dedicated to promoting the breeding and registration of rare and native breeds.
