Carramill Livestock News & Updates

National Dairy Show 2026

Carramill at the Show

We attended our very first show this weekend, the National Dairy Show in Millstreet. The premier event for the Irish dairy industry, showcasing the best of pedigree dairy breeding.
Well done to everybody involved for a very well organised show.
We were very happy with the numbers that visited our stand and engaged with us.
It was great to meet both familiar and new faces over the 2 days. We met plenty of people that offered us quality groups of animals and a selection of people that are looking to buy various numbers of stock.
