FARMER has been looking back through our files at pictures of farming life through the years.
The annual Christmas Fatstock Sale held at Hope’s Auction Mart. in Wigton was well supported and our photo show a group of farmers intently watching the sale of stock back in 1968 when the winning animal was shown by John Scott of Mid Town, Torpenhow.
The Cumberland Ayrshire Breeders Club celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2000. Secretary Christine Sanderson is seen with founder member and president John Bell and Ian Watson, club chairman.
We also found a selection of photos of YFC activities over the years - from the ever popular quiz to the entertainments competition. Hopefully 2021 will see a full programme of Young Farmer events back in the calendar.
