The Tullamore Show and FBD National Livestock Show will showcase classes in dairy, pedigree, commercial and sheep.

The commercial cattle section will see the first-of-its-kind commercial Blonde d’Aquitaine-sired calf extravaganza, with a prize fund of €2,000.
Meanwhile, the sheep programme will be expanding this year with the introduction of the Lanark sheep breed All-Ireland classes.
