National Dairy Show chosen for launch of milkrecording system

A NEW milk recording system which has been launched successfully on hundreds of dairy farms will be publicly unveiled at next week's National Dairy Show at Millstreet, Co Cork, on Saturday, October 16.

It's yet another first for the event which has paved the way for Ireland's "arrival" last February as a EU dairy breeding power at the Agribex Show in Brussels.

There, the Millstreet champion of four months earlier, Quantana Melissa Grand, was crowned overall European champion cow, and all of the Irish team of 10 cows were placed first, second or third.
