All-Ireland win for father and son exhibitors

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD won the Maverick All-Ireland junior pedigree cow class at Charleville Agricultural Show for father and son exhibitors John and Gary Hurley, Clonpaddin, Arklow, Co Wicklow.

It was the first show outing of the season for the Holstein second calver, which was bred by Peter Kingston of the Cradenhill herd at Nohoval, Co Cork.

The successful Cradenhill Linjet Fame, which was the champion heifer at the National Dairy Show in Millstreet in 2005, is by Sunny Lodge Linjet.
