As the list of cancelled A&P shows continues to grow, an event has been launched for children to show their calves and yearlings in Southland.

Southern Districts Beef Handlers committee member Julia Eden said children showed beef bulls, heifers and calves and dairy calves across a range of breeds for its inaugural "fun day" at the Gore A&P Showgrounds earlier this month.

"The smiles of pride on faces as animals were paraded in respective classes were priceless."

The event allowed children who would have shown cattle at A&P shows, which have been cancelled due to Covid-19, a chance to parade them.
