National Hereford Calf Show set for Tullamore this weekend

The National Hereford Calf Show is taking place this weekend, Saturday, November 16, at GVM mart, Tullamore.

The prestigious event will bring together 80 of the best Hereford calves from across the country, offering a prime opportunity to witness top-tier genetics and the next generation of breeding stock.

Sponsored by Dovea Genetics and Irish Hereford Prime, the event is set to feature some of Ireland's finest young Hereford bulls and heifers, with classes kicking off at 10am.

It is hoped that several standout bulls from the show may qualify to join Irish Hereford Prime’s expanding bull panel, a key part of their Beef Sustainability Programme.

Dovea Genetics and Irish Hereford Prime said they were eager to see the exceptional quality on display on Saturday.
