Paula Hynes: Special K with a hint of Chocochip at the Cork Summer Show

Becky Hynes with Reserve Supreme dairy Rathard Chocochip Kali, Ricky and Julie Barrett with Supreme Dairy Champion Laurelelm Slick Brilliant and dairy judge Stephen Shannon at Cork Summer Show over the weekend.
Last weekend, we headed to the Cork Summer Show, which, in many ways, is our local show as it is only 15 minutes from home. It really is one of those shows where urban and rural communities come together, as the showgrounds are so close to the city.
Once again, it attracted huge crowds this year, and Stephen Shannon took charge of judging in the dairy ring. Our day started with wins in the junior and senior showmanship for Georgie and Becky, our French student Emilie also claimed third place in the senior showmanship which was a fantastic result for her.
