All Ireland breeding heifer championship
The highlight of the day, the all-Ireland breeding heifer championship, sponsored by Progressive Genetics was another feast of quality cattle from all over Ireland.
Previous winners Paul and James McPadden from Co Offaly had the task of judging this event.
One of the largest crowds from recent years watch this excellent display of heifers which saw Kevin Clancy’s Limousin X heifer, exhibited by Ciaran Golden and Michael Feeney tapped out as champion.
Going by the huge cheer from the crowd watching, this was a popular choice. This heifer was sired by Icecream.
