Fancy winning a Hereford calf for €10?
When its '80s night fundraiser was cancelled due to COVID-19, Cork's Terelton Macra club came together to think of ways it could raise much needed funds for Marymount Hosipce.
The local hospice is a much-needed facility in Munster which provides care to patients with progressive illnesses, both cancer and non-cancer, serving a population of 600,000 people in Cork and Kerry.
The club came up with a virtual calf raffle, an idea that has raised over €2,000 to date. The Hereford calf, which was donated by a local dairy farmer, is due to be raffled live on Facebook in the first weekend of June.
Young farmers William, Etty and Hannah McCarthy pictured with the calf that will be raffled live on Facebook.

The minimum entry is €10 and you can enter multiple times. If the winner does not wish to receive the calf, then they will be given the value of the animal in cash.
