CROGHAN HERDS COMPETITION

The results of the recent Croghan Herds Competition were announced at the Irish Shorthorn Premier Dinner in the Bush Hotel on Friday, 7th November.

In what proved to be a highly competitive field featuring twelve herds, our distinguished judge, David Lillie, certainly had his work cut out for him — though he enjoyed many pleasant evenings along the way, treated to fine food and plenty of top-quality Shorthorn cattle on display.

A special word of thanks goes to James Pye for organising the competition, and to our generous sponsors, DMG Motors Limited, for their continued support.
