Pedigree Calf Fair and Beef NI Expo 2015

The first Pedigree Calf Fair and Beef NI Expo took place at Balmoral Showgrounds, Belfast on Saturday 14th November 2015. Ten pedigree breeds took part with approximately 300 calves on show. It was a landmark event across Ireland to build a platform and work jointly as a beef industry.
