Mayo students exhibit at prestigious Irish Angus Schools' Competition

FOUR students - Alex Tolan, Riona Tolan, Katie Monaghan and Adam Killeen - from Balla Secondary School exhibited at the 2023 Certified Irish Angus Schools Competition at Croke Park.

The competition, supported by ABP and Kepak, challenges students to rear five Irish Angus calves and learn about the care and attention required to produce quality beef for consumers.

Five out of the 35 exhibiting schools that best demonstrate an understanding of the project along with innovative ideas will be presented with Irish Angus calves at the National Ploughing Championships in September 2023.
