From this week’s Hebden Bridge Times (the only newspaper of record):

Best goat for the 2nd year running

WINNING best in show – and best milker – in Todmorden Agricultural Show’s goat section for the second year running, this year’s event proved a very successful one for a teenager.

Michsica Capricole, owned and bred by 15 year old Jessica Hagain of Halifax, once again, defeated the competition.

Best Goatling was Philday Darcy owned and bred by Mr R Parkin of Howden, and Best Kid was Maxson Shamuti owned and bred by Mrs M Hagain of Halifax.
