Many Competitions go straight to Northern Ireland Level. This means
that members from all six counties compete together for a Northern
Ireland Prize.
Stock Judging:
There are three types of Stock Judging: Dairy; Sheep and Beef. Members
have to place two rings of four animals in order of preference, and
junior members have to assess a single animal. Reasons are then given

held together at Greenmount during Easter and the beef judging is
also held at Greenmount in September.
