AN ANNUAL dairy showcase held in Carlisle is to return next spring.

The Borderway UK Dairy Expo, organised by Harrison & Hetherington, is a key industry event for dairy farmers across the globe.

It will take place on Friday and Saturday, 10 and 11 March 2023 and is expected to attract in the region of 7,000 visitors.

UK Dairy Expo acts as a shop window for breeders and producers and brings together some of the UK’s finest dairy stock. Alongside this, it is also a trade event where businesses within the industry can showcase the latest research, developments, and innovative technology that farmers can utilise to improve efficiency and productivity as we navigate the uncertain times ahead.

The return of the event following the pandemic saw viewers tune in from as far afield as the USA, Australia, and New Zealand to watch the first ever livestreaming of the event.

Harrison & Hetherington Dairy Sales Manager, Auctioneer, and event organiser, Glyn Lucas, said: “We were absolutely blown away by the support of last year’s Dairy Expo and are incredibly excited to see it return in 2023. The event has gone from strength to strength and this is testament to all the hard work and commitment from everyone involved. I think it’s fair to say that Borderway UK Dairy Expo has become one of the principal dairy shows in not only the UK, but across the globe.”

In addition to the livestock classes, the UK Dairy Expo programme will also include breed society shows and demonstrations, young handler classes, a trade exhibition and an informative seminar series.
