Millstreet Dairy Show just around the corner
Millstreet National Dairy Show Saturday 21st October 2017 Green Glens Arena – Millstreet – Co. Cork
WITH the 35th National Dairy Show just around the corner we all eagerly await Ireland’s largest indoor agricultural show which takes place in Millstreet annually in October.
This year former Ireland rugby international Mike Ross (pic attached but prob no room) will perform the honours when he officially opens the Show which promises something for everyone in the farming community. Mike, the son of Frank and Patti Ross, is a graduate of dairy farming having grown up on the home farm near Ballyhooly in North Cork where he still inspects the progress of the Convamore Herd when he gets a chance on his visits home. Mike has also generously signed one of the new Irish jerseys which only officially go on sale at the end of this year and together with a signed ruby ball and a hamper of goods all will be up for grabs as door prizes on the day of the Show.
Along with 200 of the top Holstein and Jersey cattle competing for national honours there will be many features at the Show this year including over 150 Trade Stands with a wide range of products from the latest in milking technology to animal nutrition, veterinary products, AI companies and much, much more. Also returning to the Show is the artisan Food Village which will showcase local producers with a chef demonstrating how best to use their produce in exciting recipes on the day.
The live demos continue on the day as for the first time ever at the Show 6 of the leading tractor manufacturers will be participating in a live tractor and loader bale handling demonstrating where the latest spec and technology in equipment which can be used on their farms will be displayed and you will have an opportunity to discuss any specific needs you may have with experienced and knowledgeable personnel on the day too.
