Stunning finale to the 167th Great Yorkshire Show!
Friday’s chat show star who has built up a huge following after appearing in Clarkson’s Farm, was a big hit with visitors, taking to the Ariat GYS Stage to talk about her farming life in Derbyshire, her previous career as a qualified nurse and her newfound fame with TV presenter
🐄 Harriet, whose partner James’ family run a Simmental herd, visited the cattle lines where she presented rosettes in the Beef Young Handlers class for exhibitors aged 12-14. First prize went to Abbie Jackson-Carr, 13, of Carlecotes near Sheffield, showing Hereford cow, JC1 Marigold. It was a victory backed up by further success at the Show for Abbie, winning the Hereford breed championship with Coley Malan as well as Female Champion.
Show Director Rachel Coates said: “I would like to thank our outgoing President, Nick Lane Fox for his invaluable contributions over the last 12 months. The Show's success really is the sum of all of the contributions made by our volunteers, staff and stewards, and I'm hugely grateful to everyone, including our visitors, who have made this record-breaking Great Yorkshire Show such a wonderful occasion in its 167th year.” Nick Lane Fox handed over the Presidency of show organisers, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society as Rodrica Straker stepped forward to take over for 2026-27.
🐑 A pair of Texel sheep proved a hit with the judge when they won the Overall Sheep Pairs Championship. Belonging to Eammon Vaughan of Partridge Nest Farm Texels, in Staffordshire the duo were chosen by judge Mr Steve Smith as the best from a strong competition of pairs from both the Non MV and MV classes, which they won moments earlier.
Roll on the 168th Great Yorkshire Show!
