the bucks county show
The Bucks County Show 2010 took place on a dark and dismal 28th of August 2010 in a quagmire at Weedon Park. However, the mudbath did little to dampen local enthusiasm for a new event at the show - camel racing, a graceful spectacle which appeared to take place almost in slow-motion for those of us watching it for the first time..
Murray's Accounting once again sponsored the beef inter-breed competition. The result was almost a repeat of last year's show with Mortimers Aphrodite, a 2005-born Charolais cow from Mortimers Farm, Eastleigh, Hampshire taking the prize won last year by Mortimers Cameo from the same herd.
One of a herd of thirty breeding cows owned by Ken Piper, Mortimers Aphrodite had already taken inter-breed titles at the South of England, Surrey and New Forest as well as breed champion at the Great Yorkshire show.
