PCF 2016 - Irish Moiled Cattle Society

Pedigree Calf Fair 2016

The second ever Pedigree Calf Fair Beef Expo 2016 took place at The Kings Hall, Belfast on Saturday 19th November.   The role of judging the Irish Moiled’s was in the capable hands of Trevor Chadwick from Cushina, Portarlington, Co. Offaly, Ireland who is well known to many people in the cattle world due to his role as Chairman of the Pedigree Cattle section of Tullamore show which see’s around 1000 head of cattle in attendance at the one-day show.  Trevor has been involved with breeding both pedigree and commercial cattle for over 30 years. Delighted to have been asked to judge the Irish Moiled Breed at the Pedigree Calf Fair 2016, Trevor commented “It is always good to see the breed characteristics and confirmation traits of individual pedigree lines and where better to start than with the calves.

A very high standard of Irish Moiled’s attended the King’s Hall Complex, one of Irelands most iconic buildings, well known in the farming world especially to Pedigree Cattle breeders. A real credit to all the exhibitors of Irish Moiled’s in raising the standard of the breed show-cased, justifying the breed’s presence at the Beef Expo. Competition was very stiff throughout all the classes.

Congratulations goes to the senior champion winner, Eddie Giboney of Beragh, Co. Tyrone with his homebred Autumn born heifer calf Tyrone Honeysuckle. Reserve Senior Champion went to N & M Moilies of Comber, Co. Down with their homebred heifer calf Burren Lady.

It was N & M Moilies who also collected the Junior Champion award with Curraghnakeely SuperDuper a young April born bull calf, whilst Robert Boyle of Millisle, Co Down collected the Reseve Junior Champion spot with the homebred heifer calf Beechmount Labamba.

The Irish Moiled Cattle Society would like to thank the Pedigree Calf Fair Beef Expo NI for organizing a very successful show and looks forward to supporting future shows.
