Shorthorn Takes Genesis Supreme Champion Cow
The class saw each first placed cow from across all pedigree and commercial classes enter the competition for the Genesis Supreme Champion Cow. As lengthy discussions took place between the
judging team the six breed judges on the day had the tough task of deciding upon a worthy winner. On what was later noted as a unanimous decision the Shorthorn Cow was selected and crowed the Genesis Supreme Champion Cow. Creaga Gipsy and her January bull calf bred By Noel Dowd Creggs Co Galway. This is not the first time she has come out on top. Last year Creaga Gipsy qualified and Won the Pedigree All Ireland Suckler Type Heifer.
It’s not often you see the all-round Traditional breed coming out on top against the big power house continental and commercial breeds. The win is a testament to the Maternal and Suckler traits of the Shorthorn bred.
Congratulation to Noel and his family for his continued success and contribution to the breed.
