AIB National Livestock Show - Dairy section

Head of Section Tommy Finlay Contact No 087-9873373

No less than 45 classes are in this section, which keeps the whole committee busy all day. Breeds included are; Montbelliarde, Jersey, Shorthorn, and Holstein Friesian. Exhibitors are sure to find something to catch their attraction with these beautiful breeds on exhibition. Some of these classes have a big prize fund of €2,500 for the winning animals, such as the Holstein In-Milk Heifer and the Senior Holstein Cow in Milk. Don’t forget a certificate of registration is required for all Pedigree and Dairy Cattle, and please remember to bring it along on show day. To help local breeders we have a confined section where the confined classes are confined to Laois, Offaly and Westmeath breeders. International Judges will be involved in the judging of animals presented.
