Peter Kingston is dairy champ again, at his local Belgooly show

Peter Kingston, Nohoval, took the best Friesian cow and supreme dairy champion awards with Cradenhill Advent Arianna, at last weekend’s Belgooly and District Agricultural Show.

The win at his local show recalled his past successes, including the National Dairy Show at Millstreet, where he showed the champion in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2004 — and famously at the Agribex International show in Brussels in 2004, as joint owner of Quintana Melissa Grand.

Ricky Barrett from Ballinhassig showed the Belgooly champion maiden heifer and best Friesian heifer calf; John O’Sullivan, Whitechurch, showed the best Friesian heifer in milk.
