Supreme Champion judge praises standard of entries at Royal Manx
The standard of livestock being bred by Manx farmers is improving all the time.
That's from the judge of the Supreme Champion contest at this year's Royal Manx Agricultural Show.
Robert Kennedy picked the Quayle family's in-calf Limousin cow for the top prize at the two-day event.
He says the high quality was noticeable across all categories:
Business confidence cools as costs climb and demand outlook weakens, survey finds
Rising labour and energy expenses dominate concerns, while optimism around future demand and profitability remains muted
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
MHKs challenge MiCard scrap after constitutent dissatisfaction
Claims of 'pressure selling' and a political 'scramble' emerge
Neonatal Care Leave 'would have been invaluable to us as a family'
Government is proposing legislation to allow up to 12 weeks of extra parental leave to those eligible
