National Dairy Show 2022

The National Dairy Show returned in style to the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet, Co. Cork on October 21^st & 22^nd. Marking its 40^th anniversary year sine the very first National Dairy Show was held in 1982 it is a fantastic achievement for the Cork club as a successful club promotion event.

A fabulous showcase of quality breeding was on display from start to finish. The high standards witnessed is of great credit to all breeders, participants and exhibitors including Young Members (YMA) in their handling classes. From the young calf classes right through to the mature cow classes the quality in terms of standards was first rate. The show was judges by David Jones of Wiltor and Sahara Holsteins
