The Cow-County Index (CCI) is a scientifically-developed index where different breeds of cattle are linked to Irish GAA county teams based on certain traits they have in common.
Some say the CCI is too radical to take off but others think it makes sense.
Kilkenny – Holstein Friesian
A proud tradition and a proven track record, despite recent attempts in recent years, it will be a force to be reckoned with for a while to come.
Tipperary – British Friesian
Former kingpins, but now only occasionally show signs of what they are capable off.
Mayo footballers – Jersey
Invested in heavily by their supporters, have all the stats and figures to back them up, but will ultimately let you down.
Louth – Norwegian Red
Still shouting about what could have been from a few years ago, everyone knows they are there but nobody cares.
Dublin – Charolais
Big, brash, and powerful. A strong finisher, but not afraid to give you a dig when its position as king of the hill is under threat.
Dexter – Roscommon
Came back from the brink to make somewhat of a revival in recent times. However, if pitted against one of its more productive counterparts it is liable to get completely blown out of the water.
Cork – Limousin
Liable to do anything at any time, notoriously difficult to work with but on their day are the flashiest in the business and the best around.
The Irish Farmers Journal will host National Dairy Day on Thursday 23 November 2017 in Punchestown Event Centre, Co. Kildare. The event promises to offer solutions for a growing sector.
