While recent milk price cuts are very much high on the agenda for dairy farmers, the mood was still relatively positive among the crowds that thronged through the trade stands.
There was a good crowd and plenty of activity at the Balmoral Winter Fair yesterday, Thursday 11 December. While recent milk price cuts are very much high on the agenda for dairy farmers, the mood was still relatively positive among the crowds that thronged through the trade stands.
While the majority of farmers were from Northern counties there were a few bus loads of farmers from South of the border and the UK visiting the show. There were over 200 Trade stands at the show and the prize for the BEST Large TRADE STAND went to Fane Valley Co-Op Society Ltd while Moore Concrete from Ballymena took the small trade stand honours.
