Welcome to the Cattle Section of Poynton Show.

Firstly, a very big “thanks” to all of our exhibitors, who support us here at Poynton and produce a magnificent showcase of their rural life.

The familiar cattle breeds that you see in the countryside, will be at the Show and there will be some ‘milking demonstrations’ too, during the day. We hope you will enjoy yourselves, here at Poynton.
