Handlers in white stockman's coats parade British Friesian dairy cattle before the breed society's banner at a major agricultural show. Developed from Dutch imports and selected in Britain for both milk and beef, the British Friesian dominated United Kingdom dairying for decades before high-yielding North American Holstein genetics displaced it; the Society merged into Holstein UK in 1988, placing this photograph before that date. The rendered buildings behind carry permanent identifying letters — N and M — indicating a fixed national showground rather than a temporary field. At ringside, a steward wears his rosette; the photographer shot over the heads of seated spectators. Project: 219970
