Irish Charolais Cattle Society secretary Nevan McKiernan commented: "The quality of Charolais polled cattle on display was terrific. Efficient Charolais cows with high maternal traits were in abundance on the farms visited. This was highlighted in the fact that every herd visited were weaning greater than 0.97 calves/cow per year. Bulls are selected based on easy calving, with superior growth rates and high performance."
It is expected that the World Technical Congress will be held in Ireland between 6 and 13 August 2019 to coincide with the national livestock show in Tullamore. The week-long event will give Irish breeders the opportunity to showcase the quality of Charolais cattle on a World stage.
