On Thursday 3rd August, Dugdale Nutrition continued to proudly support and sponsor Gisburn Auction Mart's 'Dugdale Dairy Day' which takes place on the first Thursday of EVERY month!
It couldn't have fallen on a better day, as Thursday was #FARM24. An annual event run by the Farmers Guardian that encourages British Farmers to take to social media for one day to post pictures and videos to show and pledge their support by explaining the work they're doing that day!
