ALL-POLAND DAIRY SHOW
|
Already in 2004 the Board of Directors of Polish Federation showed the initiative to organize in different places of our country the shows with focus on the dairy cattle promotion. The formula “moveable show” enables the breeders, for whom repeatedly the distance to the show area precluded from participating in national show in Poznan, to present their achievements in the national forum.
It was accepted, that The All-Poland Dairy Show will take place every year in different region of the country and that the region, which is the host of the show, is allowed to present animals in the amount of 50 % of total number of available stands. The Polish Federation of Cattle Breeders and Dairy Farmers is the main organizer of these shows.
The first All-Poland Dairy Show took place in Szepietowo (Podlaskie voivodeship) in the end of June 2005, achieving a spectacular success. It was an encouragement for the breeders to organize next this kind of shows.
