The Salers, Blonde, Simmental and Blue Northern Ireland Clubs teamed up six years ago to host one joint Pedigree Calf Show.
The venue is confirmed as Ballymena Livestock Market on Saturday, 28th November.
Organisers are hoping for continued growth of entries with over 100 calves expected across the breeds. There are classes to suit a range of calves right from the start of September 2025 all the way through to summer 2026 born calves.
Countryside Services once again sponsor the three young handler classes giving future breeders from as young as 8 the opportunity to hone their ringcraft in a safe environment.
So whether it’s bringing out a calf for the first time in preparation for next year’s shows or sales or learning and developing show skills in an enclosed arena this is the event for all Pedigree Salers, Blonde, Simmental and Blue breeders.
Contact your NI Club representative for more information.
