‘We are delighted that after having our 2021 ploughing match delayed because of Covid, we can return to our usual date for the 2022 competition’
Past society president Michael Mayberry was announced the 2021 Kintyre Agricultural Society ploughing match champion
It was thought that because of Covid regulations, there would be no 2021 ploughing match but KAS has pulled out all the stops to being the competition to fruition
Kevin MacIntyre, Glenahervie, broke his own £900 record, set last year, with the sale’s first ever four-figure price achieved, before the next tup, from Thomas Cameron, Gartvaigh, broke the record again
More than 500 breeding sheep and 95 tups have been entered along with a small quantity of store lambs.
IT allowed the annual Kintyre Agricultural Show to be held virtually this year
The society’s directors say that while this decision is very disappointing, they feel it is the right one to make at this time.
If all restrictions are lifted, this year’s show will be as near to normal as possible.
If the show is not able to go ahead, a virtual show will take place instead, meaning anyone with stock they had the intention of showing can still do so.
