Millstreet gears up for 30th dairy extravaganza

“Organised by farmers for farmers” could be one of the mottos of the National Dairy Show, which will be held for the 30th time on October 20 at its usual indoor venue in the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet, Co Cork.

“The show here in Millstreet has for nearly three decades attracted the best pedigree dairy stock from around the country to compete in a range of competitions,” said Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney when he officially opened the 2011 event.

“The superb indoor location in the Green Glens arena allows for a comfortable setting to view some of the best Holstein Friesian cattle from the top breeders in the country.”
