More than 2,000 livestock exhibitors attended Tullamore Show last weekend to battle it out for their share in the €175,000 prize fund.
Listen to "A flavour of Tullamore Show" on Spreaker.
The show has been drawing crowds now for nearly three decades, with improvements being made year on year. This year saw record numbers at the gate, ensuring even more people got to see the quality on show.
Main draw
And while there was something happening on the 250ac site to suit everyone, the main draw was again the National Livestock Show, with this year seeing the title sponsor change to FBD.
As usual, one of the biggest draws was the parade of champions, which gives spectators the chance to see the tops of all breeds in one arena at the close of the day.
This is also the place where the champion exhibitors are presented with their prestigious gold and silver medals.
