Prince Albert was keen to use the Royal Farms as an example of how other farms could be successfully run. He built a model farm and dairy at Shaw Farm, Windsor and also exhibited the Hereford cattle that were raised there. The new dairy buildings were built to replace earlier, inadequate facilities and included a state-of-the-art creamery. -
