Renowned as The UK’s No 1 Farm Business Event, AgriScot is set to return on Wednesday 19 November 2025, promising even more excitement and opportunity for the UK’s leading dairy competition, taking place in the main ring.
The event will once again feature the nation’s largest dairy prize fund of £25,000 and additionally, will introduce two new classes, specifically aimed at celebrating and encouraging the next generation of UK dairy breeders. The Youngstock Classes will be kindly sponsored by The Saskatoon Colostrum Company Ltd.
Robert Hunter, Director of AgriScot and long-standing Jersey Steward confirmed the dairy section judge for 2025 is Iwan Morgan of Nantybwla, Carmarthen and commented on the board’s decision to open the new classes:
“Each year, AgriScot witnesses a growing enthusiasm from young breeders. The talent and dedication among young handlers is truly extraordinary. By introducing the Youngstock Classes, we’re creating a spotlight for the next generation to shine.
“The new classes are open exclusively to handlers under 30 years of age with Youngstock, to open the opportunity to the growing eagerness of talented young people in the UK dairy sector.”
Also returning for another year are the ever-popular SuperHeifer and SuperCow titles, each boasting a £1,000 prize and attracting some of the finest animals in the industry. Classes will once again be held for the Ayrshires British Red and White, Holsteins, Jerseys, and Other Breeds.
Last year’s SuperCow title went to Evening Holsteins with Evening Sidekick Jennifer EX95 by Walnutlawn Sidekick:
“Winning AgriScot last year was a huge achievement and a real buzz for the whole family and team involved. The hard work, the early mornings and long hours all culminates in this one moment.
“Evening Sidekick Jennifer also won AgriScot the previous year in 2023. We are very excited to see what this year brings as she will back in the ring competing for the hat-trick of champions.
“We are a family run dairy farm milking 450 pedigree Holstein cows located on the outskirts of Carlisle and started showing many years ago. The buzz and the ability to compete against the best in the country is second to none and making friends along the way brings the industry together through uncertain times. AgriScot is one of our favourite shows and it is great to see it so well supported by the farming industry.”
The entire programme of judging ring activity will be webstreamed, allowing audiences to tune in and witness the action. Meanwhile, a packed ringside is expected to deliver the same vibrant atmosphere that has become a ‘hallmark’ of the AgriScot experience.
AgriScot Chairman, Gilmour Lawrie commented:
“As AgriScot continues to grow and evolve, offering something for every farming business, the prestigious dairy section continues to hold a particular significance for me as a dairy farmer. I wish all our exhibitors the very best of luck in the competition and strongly encourage early entry to avoid disappointment for this ever-popular event. I look forward to seeing you all in the main ring during my first year as Chairman.”
