Birr school in Croke Park for Certified Irish Angus Schools' competition

A Birr secondary school were among the exhibitors at the recent prestigious certified Irish Angus Schools' Competition in Croke Park recently.

Jack O'Meara, Moya Guinan, Joseph McLoughney and Ben Younge from St Brendan's Community School, Birr, exhibited at the 2024 Certified Irish Angus Schools Competition at Croke Park on Friday, March 1.

The competition, supported by ABP and Kepak, challenges students to rear five Irish Angus calves and learn about the care and attention required to produce quality beef for consumers.

Five out of the forty-three exhibiting schools that best demonstrate an understanding of the project along with innovative ideas will be presented with Irish Angus calves at the National Ploughing Championships in September.
