Celebrating 50 years of the Limousin breed in the UK, the Show Hall at Borderway will be centre stage for the commercial classes (Friday) followed by the pedigree classes (Saturday) with an array of international judges presiding. A special Anniversary Sale for pedigree animals will be held on the Friday.

An Exhibitor Dinner (Thursday) and Anniversary Supper (Friday) are planned for a separate marquee at Borderway which will include catering, bar and charity auction. All exhibitors benefit from a number of free tickets for the Exhibitor Dinner (Thursday) within their entry fee – see table below – further tickets can be pre-ordered.
