Cows from country’s top herds bid for prestigious Baileys national title

MORE than 20 cows have been entered in the 27th Baileys Irish Champion Cow competition at Virginia Show in Co Cavan this Saturday.

The competition, considered the most prestigious dairy livestock event in the land, is judged on good conformation and proven excellence in milk production.

Contending for the 2010 title will be cows as far afield as Donegal and Cork as well as the more locally based counties of Meath and Cavan.
