Dairy show set to draw crowd of 5,000

THE 20th National Dairy Show, which is expected to attract up to 5,000 people to Green Glens in Millstreet, Co Cork, tomorrow, will be a showpiece of award winners.

Champions from the Verona Show in Italy, the Baileys in Virginia, the RDS, the Powers Gold Label final in Tullamore and from Limerick, Piltown and Charleville shows will be among those contending for top honours.

John Buckley of Salem Holsteins, Ontario, Canada, who will judge the entries in the Irish Examiner Farming sponsored championships, has officiated at the World Expo in Madison as well as at the Winter Fair in Canada and at shows in many other countries.
