Supreme Hereford Champion: Kilsunny Lass Matilda, Trevor Dudley, Kilsunny Hse, Dovea, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.

Kilsunny Lass Matilda collected her second supreme championship in as many weeks at the 2017 Dualla Show, following on from taking the top spot at Cappamore Show just one week prior. This senior yearling heifer has claimed a remarkable nine 1^st prize wins this season as well as major championships at the Slaney Foods International Finals at Gorey in June and the 2017 Senior Munster Female of the Year title earlier this month.

 

Reserve Supreme Hereford Champion: Grianan Orange 589, H&M Parr, Clogh, Castelcomer, Co. Kilkenny.

The father and son team of Henry & Mervyn Parr took reserve championship honours with their mature cow, Grianan Orange 589. This one was purchased at the Irish Hereford Premier Autumn Sale some years ago and has compiled an impressive record of wins in the intervening years. She was shown with an Autumn born bull calf at foot.
