EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1960s at the annual County Show in Devon, where the display of cattle takes center stage. In this photograph, a line of proud handlers lead their well-groomed bovine companions through the lush, fertile fields. The white coats and overalls of the handlers contrast sharply with the rich, dark soil, while the cows, with their numbered necks, display their prized coats in all their glory. The County Show was an important event in the agricultural calendar, showcasing the best of Devon's farming industry. The cattle, representing various breeds, were judged on their conformation, health, and milk production, with rosettes and prizes awarded to the winners. The atmosphere was one of friendly competition and camaraderie, with signs for Cornish Mutual Assurance and other sponsors adding to the sense of community. The display of cattle was a celebration of the hard work and dedication of farmers and their animals. The cows, with their large, expressive eyes and docile demeanor, seemed to understand the importance of the occasion, walking calmly and obediently alongside their handlers. The scene is a testament to the deep connection between man and nature, and the enduring traditions of farming and agriculture in Devon. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when farming was a way of life, and the annual County Show was a highlight of the rural calendar.
