MORE than 3,000 dairy farmers and their families attended the Irish Holstein Friesian Association (IHFA) open day on the farm of Thomas and Michael Buckley at Ballinahina, Dublin Pike, near Cork city.

AFTER a wet 2009, cows but no rain are on offer next Saturday at the National Dairy Show. The event is completely under cover in the Green Glens Arena at Millstreet, and offers an enjoyable day out for all the family, whatever the weather.
