In addition to the livestock exhibition and awards, attendees enjoyed various demonstrations. These included showcasing 30 examples of the Canarian buchón pigeon, as well as demonstrations of traditional animal dragging, threshing, and shearing, highlighting trades and practices linked to rural life.
