Teamwork makes the dream work as the Hynes girls glisten at Emerald Expo

From a calving complication to the Emerald Expo - it's been a rollercoaster start to show season in Aherla, but the Hynes girls are rising to the challenge.

The five-and-a-half drive to Virgina in Co Cavan was most definitely worth the spin. Pete, Becky and Georgie headed off with two animals, while Chloe stayed at home with me to do the farm.

We started breeding two weeks ago so felt it best if I stayed at home and looked after everything here. What a show they had. They took a homebred jersey maiden heifer Rathard Kasey and another homebred jersey Rathard Peanut, a two-year-old first-calver.
