It has been a super start to the summer show season all across Ireland, with some big entries of cattle and sheep along some thronged ringsides on sunny summer days so far in 2023.

Remember, if you are out and about at summer shows in 2023, you can send your photos through to the Irish Farmers Journal team. We will print the best photos in the paper and publish them online over the summer months.
