Irish dairy cows ‘best looking in Europe’

Irish dairy cows are among the best lookers in Europe, said Dutchman Nico Bons when he judged the Emerald Expo show at Kilkenny last weekend.

The best cow group he ever judged was fulsome prize from Bons, who has won a champion or reserve champion title at the Dutch National Show every year for the past 12 years. In 2013, he won the grand championship at the Open Benelux Show in Belgium.

His ambition is to breed the European champion cow, but he invited Irish opposition last Saturday.
