Dora the Explorer wins second national show supreme championship

Tullamore Show 2016 was certainly a day to remember with our junior cow “Clonagh Dora the Explorer” winning her second overall Simmental national show title (one more and she’ll be in line with her daddy T-Rex)! Having come through the junior cow championship she was tapped forward as the overall female and later overall Simmental champion. Dora was shown with her December born bull calf by Clonagh Tiger Gallant.

This year saw a record entry of Simmentals with 160 entries with tremendous quality from start to finish so it was an extra bonus to go all the way with such a number present on the day. Our 16 strong show team did us proud with each animal receiving a rosette! We finished our day with 7 national titles, 4 reserve national titles, 3 thirds in nationals, classes, 2 fourths in national classes and in the younger calf classes 1 first and 2 seconds.

As ever these days don’t come easy, it’s a team effort at Clonagh from Tom and Mary at home, John and Sandra down in Cork minding the boys, our super star show man Cian who also won his first reserve national title at the show with his own heifer, our international hotshot Gayle, star groomer Moses and our two lucky charms Paul and James. On behalf of myself and Lyndsey thank you so much for your time and effort we could not have done it without you. It’s like Christmas it only comes once a year so see you in 363 sleeps!
