Preparing the pedigree show calf

The Kilsunny herd is a pedigree Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus, Shorthorn beef herd and British Friesian dairy herd based in midland county of Tipperary in the Republic of Ireland.

All of their cattle are pedigree and the best calves, heifers and bulls are exhibited at summer shows each year.

The Kilsunny herd has claimed two supreme Hereford championships already this summer, including their most recent championship win at last weekend’s Clonakilty Show.

In this video, Kilsunny shows us exactly how they clip and prepare a pedigree calf for the show circuit. A must see for all pedigree and showing enthusiasts!
