Nearby, a robust West Highland breed bull from Scotland commands attention with its impressive physique. The scene exudes an atmosphere of celebration and admiration as spectators marvel at these extraordinary animals. This exhibition was not merely about showcasing livestock; it was also an opportunity for countries to display national pride and cultural heritage through agriculture.
