Irish Aubrac Society at Tullamore Show 2015

Tullamore Show 2015 took place on Sunday 9th August. seeing over 60,000 visitors to the site this year. 

Once again, it was a great success showcasing the Aubrac breed.

Tullamore Show 2015 marked the launch of the new Irish Aubrac Yearbook publication. A lot of interest was generated with the launch, creating a good atmosphere around the Irish Aubrac Society tent. 

Tickets were also on sale for our Ploughing Championship Fundraiser initiative for a Pedigree registered Aubrac heifer which is up for raffle, this proved to be very popular with visitors to the tent. 

Several of our Irish Aubrac Council members were also on hand to provide assistance with any queries, visitors to our tent had.

This year also saw the return of judges from the French Union Aubrac, who judged all the Aubrac classes at this years’ show.
