Livestock bringing out the best at this year's Ballingeary Show

Posted 01/09/2014

The weather during this year's Ballingeary Show proved to be less spectacular than the livestock which brought in the crowds, braving the rain on the 24th August. 

Tom Roycroft from Dunmanway won this year's champion beef cow category, while champion beef bull was won by James Kingston from Riverstick. Dan Galvin from Lissarda won the champion dairy heifer award. There were also prizes on offer for horses, poultry, sheep, vegetables and handicrafts. 

Children were given their own selection of prizes to compete in, including best Lego creation, painted stone and decorated bottle.

Crowds were wowed by the indoor dog show and browsed local food and crafts. Next year's show should be even more successful if the popularity of this year's Ballingeary Show is anything to go by.
