Katie Davidson judging the dairy calf and showmanship sections. Katie cycled to the show on the Wednesday and home again on the Sunday – around 200 miles in total, to help raise money for her lovely friend Louise Hartley, who is fighting a rare type of Ovarian cancer. Well done Katie! For anyone who’s not donated and still wishes to do so, here’s the link https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/cycle-for-louise
