The first ever Irish Holstein Friesian Association Champion Cow Award has gone to Hallow Advent Twizzle 3 ET, owned by Wexford-based breeders Philip and Linda Jones of Hallow Holsteins.

RED hot competition was guaranteed when nearly 60 breeders of pedigree cattle contested the National Dairy Show at Millstreet last Saturday.

THE winner of the AIB Bank Holstein Friesian championship at Limerick Show was a four-year-old second calver exhibited by Sean, Eileen and John Curtin, Athlacca, Co Limerick, who also took the reserve’s rosette.
