British agricultural show
The Dairy Show is an annual British agricultural show , organised by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers . It was founded in 1876 and was first held at the Agricultural Hall in Islington , London; it was later held at Olympia , London, and then moved to the National Agricultural Exhibition Centre at Stoneleigh Park , in Warwickshire . It is now held as part of the annual Livestock Event at the National Exhibition Centre , in Birmingham in the Midlands .[1]
The show was originally known as the Metropolitan Dairy Show.[2] : 95 Goats, pigs and poultry were included in the show from its earliest years.[3] The introduction of milking trials and tests of butterfat and protein content of milk at the show in 1879 was both a response to, and a contributory factor in, the progressive trend towards selection of stock for productive traits rather than purely for physical appearance .[3] [4] : 144
The first Dairy Show
[ edit ]
The first Dairy Show was held from 24 – 27 October 1876. Some 150 milch cows were shown; there were prizes of 100 guineas each for the best Channel Islands cow and for the best other-breed cow,[5] which went to a Shorthorn .[6] The total prize-money for cattle was 500 guineas, about half the total for the show. Butter and cheeses were exhibited, and there were demonstrations of cheese-making and butter-churning. One exhibitor entered more than 1000 Stilton cheeses in the show.[5] Dairy equipment and machinery was exhibited and judged.[6]
Other livestock, including goats and poultry, was also shown. There were about 500 entries in the poultry section,[5] which included chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys.[6] Hops , grains and roots were also exhibited.[5]
The attendance at the exhibition was much greater than had been anticipated by the organisers.[7] : 760 Special trains were laid on by the major railway companies, including the Great Northern , the Great Western , the London and South-Western , the London and North-Western and the Midland Railway .[5]
The British Dairy Farmers' Association was formed at a meeting during the exhibition, at the instigation of J. Prince Sheldon.[8] : 208 [7] : 760
