David is a third-generation farmer and has a long-standing association with Charolais cattle, beginning back when he operated a dry stock enterprise.

Around 1996, David bought his first pedigree Charolais with the herd successfully expanding from then on.

The Fieldview herd receives top prices for Bulls at the Charolais Christmas Cracker in December, and the premier sale in the spring, both in Elphin Mart, along with other sales in Tullamore.

The Northern Ireland Charolais Club National Show will comprise of 17 Charolais cattle classes including Charolais cattle of all ages- cows, seniors, intermediate and junior heifers and bulls and the best pair of Charolais cattle owned by an exhibitor.

The last National Show was held at Clogher Valley Agricultural Show in 2019 was a huge success, and this year’s event is shaping up to be just as successful.
