With something for all the family, special features are the National Young Stockpersons Final, the All-Ireland National Suckler Heifer Championship Final, The Grovite All-Ireland Hogget Ewe Championship, and the Connacht Gold Beef Bullock Championship. Equine classes include sport horses, Connemara, coloured, and ponies. Poultry classes will feature the All-Ireland Bantam Chicken Championship, and dogs, pedigree and non pedigree, and pets. Trade and craft stands and photography will also be on show.

Watch "the big strong boys" go head to head to find the champion potato picker and turf footer, and have a go yourself.
