Cream of the Irish dairy crop go on parade

A “SUPERCOW” delivering more than 3,200 gallons of milk in her first lactation will be one of the stars of the 20th National Dairy Show at Millstreet, Co Cork next Saturday week, October 12.

This 3.45% protein producer is typical of the cream of the Irish dairy industry crop, which will parade before a Canadian judge looking for Ireland’s best show cows.

Dairy farmers and their families from all over Ireland will visit the Green Glens indoor arena in the North Cork town to get up to date with genetic and other trends in dairying, and to take in the show of 100 trade stands.
