Photos and news from British Friesians at Iverk Show 2024

In a difficult farming year, the Irish Pure Friesian Club was delighted to welcome members, exhibitors and friends to the club's hospitality tent again in 2024.

The three classes dedicated to the British Friesian at the Iverk Show's dairy section were watched by a big crowd as usual. These are always popular classes. Churchclara won both the senior cow and heifer classes. The calf class top two were as last year, Grenan retaining the cup against another strong challenge from Shangan.
