Ashley comp

This is another very well supported competition run by the Ashley pub in north Canterbury. There were a lot of animals weighed in on the day with 69 pigs and 19 deer, this kept our lifters very busy. Stu owns and runs the pub and at this comp he had volunteered to be one of our lifters.

By the end of the weigh in Stu had lost a lot of sweat but had done a very good job of keeping the animals moving to keep things flowing. One thing that stands this competition apart from the many others is they give away a lot of food as there are always meat sandwiches and sausages in bread handed out for free to the many people that were present. This is also one of the few comps that has a section for sow’s and hinds.
