Pig classes cancelled at Driffield Show 2019

in the last few minutes, organisers of tomorrow’s Driffield Show have announced that pig section is cancelled due to an outbreak of swine dysentery in North Yorkshire.

In a Twitter post, Driffield Showground said the following: “As you may be aware there has recently been a case of swine dysentery confirmed in our local area.

“Following consultation with our society vets we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the pig section at this year’s Driffield Show.

This decision has not been taken lightly and we thank everyone concerned for their understanding.”
