It’s almost time for Fermanagh County Show 2022

This year, the popular dog show will be held on Tuesday evening at 6pm, sponsored by Enviro Care NI.

There are 10 different groups: young handlers, terriers, gundogs, puppies, toy group, utility group, pastoral group, hound group, working group and any other breed.

Cups will be awarded to winners of the main groups and the entry fee of £2 per dog can be paid in the arena.

The Suckler Cow Classic and Breeding Heifer Derby classes will take place at 12 noon on Wednesday (3 August).

Judge, David Wright, has been visiting farms this week to select the finalists ahead of the show.

Organisers are hopeful these classes will help to shine a spotlight on better farming practices, showcasing some of Fermanagh’s best commercial cattle in a way that promotes sustainability, longevity and a better outlook on the future of farming, in light of the rising costs associated with farming production.
