The Irish Holstein Friesian Association (IHFA) National Open Day will showcase the Ballytigue herd of Aidan and Sally Ann Frawley in Limerick on 7 July, 2022. The venue is at the Frawley’s farm located 2.5 kms from O’Rourke’s Cross on the N20 Limerick to Cork road on the R518 towards Ballingarry/ Rathkeale/ Newcastle West.
This IHFA National Open Day will include Inter-Club Stock Judging, Macra na Feirme and YMA Stock Judging with the Ballytigue on display. There will also be an opportunity to view the entire herd with an overview of herd performance and key parameters.
To conclude the event there will be a celebratory sale of choice youngstock lots from top cow families who backbone the renowned Ballytigue herd.
This year, 2022, marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Ballytigue Friesian herd. Aidan and Sally Ann Frawley took over the running of what was then a beef herd shortly after they got married in 2001. They registered the Ballytigue prefix and assembled a herd consisting of 35 heifers.
