A good turnout of local Jersey breeders attended the recent AHV Multibreed Calf Show

The event this year was held at the RUAS Balmoral Park, Logan Hall, where everyone enjoyed the excellent facilities the complex had to offer. This year’s event was able to be staged at Balmoral thanks to the Platinum Sponsorship provided by Animal Health Vision.

The Holstein NI Young Breeders hosted the event where a large turnout of calves across all the breeds made good use of the excellent new venue.

It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic young people in the one place competing for the top awards.

The quality of the young handlers and the calves forward at the event did not disappoint the judges tasked with the job of placing both the showmanship and the calves.

The Jersey showmanship classes were placed by Jason Helen from County Cork, while the calves came under the eye of Laura Cornthwaite also from County Cork.
