2019 Ploughing Championships, Fenagh, Co Carlow
At the end of the three glorious days the attendance figure for the 88th Championships came to a record breaking 297,000 visitors. The good weather and the excitement of a change of venue helped lift the spirits of farmers and their families in these difficult times.
Angus Beef Ireland would like to thank our many producer group members and public who visited our stand over the three days and supported our chosen charity “Cycle Against Suicide”.
The weather helped showcase stands to the very best effect:
The cattle and the wall of champions attracted lots of support and comment:
