There will be horses of all sizes, colours and breeds, beef cattle, stud and black and coloured sheep, aristocratic alpacas, and much, much smaller in size but every bit as competitive will be the rats and mice. There will be poultry, goats, pigs and petting paddocks full of animals for young people to get to know.
