Hide AdShannon, who works at her local agricultural suppliers and does relief milking three nights a week, said: “Farming’s important to me because it’s the job my family have done for generations and the only industry I can see myself working in.
“I love milking as I’m slightly cow-mad!”
The competition was launched at the end of last year, with judge Gok Wan helping to narrow the entries down to ten finalists, who will now go forward to a public vote. The two winners, one male and one female, will be named on February 13.
Gok said: “What a beautiful bunch. From that wholesome, natural country look to downright smoking, each one of our shortlist has a unique sexiness.
“I’m rather relieved the final decision is not up to me - the public have got their work cut out choosing between this lovely lot.”
