The show has attracted 897 stock entries, show secretary Janine Ogden said. These include alpacas, goats, sheep, beef and dairy cows.
"The numbers are down by about 100 in the horses. We have very good quality entries, but less entrants this year"
The show committee was working on "getting back to basics", choosing to focus on producing good-quality entertainment for the whole family to enjoy, Ms Ogden said.
