Paula Hynes: I felt it was fate and knew she had to come home to us

The main reason my new heifer was bought is because of her name — the same as the nickname my dad had for me

Judge Graham Kirby with Georgina and Becky Hynes and their prize-winning Jerseys at Charleville Show.

We had a great day out at the Charleville show. It was a lovely day with only one light shower of rain which to be honest was kind of welcome as there was a real dead heat there. 

Charleville is probably the premier summer dairy show in Co Cork, with big line-ups of heifers in classes. Graham Kirby from Lancashire took command of the judging. The girls had a good day with Georgie winning her showmanship class and the jersey calf class and Becky winning her showmanship class and the maiden jersey class.
