Three members of Worth Valley Young Farmers have travelled to the English Winter Fayre in Stafford to compete in the National Federation of Young Farmer Clubs finals of the Live and Carcase Judging competition. Jennifer Moore (23), Eleanor Moore (20) and Ellis Snowden (12) all qualified through to the National finals after success at the Yorkshire round held in October. The competition involves judging both live animals and carcases, and then presenting the reasons why to a judge.
Eight of Worth Valleys finest egg heads travelled to Burnsall to compete in the District Quiz, hosted by Upper Wharfdale. The ‘A’ team of Eleanor Moore, Joe Mitchell, Matthew Cahart and Harry Holmes got off to a flying start in the picture round, with Joe being able to name all of the tractor and farming related logos. The ‘B’ team of Thomas Ogden, Dave Johnson, Dan Cook and Sophie Ogden put their brains in gear for the quiz and Dave impressed with his dominio drawing skills. The‘B’ team eventually finished third overall behind the winning team from Upper Wharfdale, and Lothersdale in second.
