This years much anticipated Tullamore show took pace earlier this month. Tasked with judging the event was James Rea who originally from Northern Ireland is now lead stockman at the well-known Chapelton herd in Scotland.
Making quick work of the large entry, he found his overall champion in Mogeely Elana Z895.
Massive congratulations to the Mariga family on winning this year’s supreme Tullamore championship with Mogeely Elana Z895.
This first calved two-year-old cow was purchased for €18,300 at the recent Mogeely Female Phenomenon. She is the first Angus purchased by the Mariga family from Youghal, Co Cork so the win was extra special.
This Drumbeera Everest daughter has a stellar show career to date claiming junior champion at the Irish Aberdeen Angus National calf show in 2023.
Judge James Rea described his champion as a superb representation of the breed, and thanked all exhibitors for putting such a fantastic line up of animals in front of him.
