YFCU’s annual dairy stock judging county and area heats, run in association with Ulster Bank, are currently taking place at farms throughout Northern Ireland.
Co Tyrone & Fermanagh heats were held on Wednesday 15th April at Jamie Sproules Farm, Castlederg.
The event saw 175 members from both counties taking part on the evening. The dairy judges were William Funston, Roger Funston, Trevor Armstrong, Jason Clarke, Kenny Hawkes, William Crawford and Johnny Wilson.
