Silage Competition
The Westmorland County Agricultural Society's Silage competition is held annually in February each year.
The event is split into four sections - dairy clamp, beef clamp, maize and big bale - and competition is usually keen amongst all those who enter.
The competition, is judged in two sections, one for analytical/nutrient content and the other on visual assessment. Following the analysis, shortlisted farms are visited by the judges with the results being announced at a presentation dinner in the evening.
The 2010 silage competition is sponsored by New Breed, with each exhibitor receiving a fleece body warmer plus a warm winter Hat donated by the sponsor.
