July 2011: United Feeds sponsorship support

United Feeds is one of the sponsors supporting the Causeway Classic III, taking place at the Pedigree Sales Arena, Moira on Wednesday, August 10.

“We are delighted to be associated, once again, with this high calibre event, which has been organised to profile the very best dairy genetics available in Northern Ireland,” United Feeds’ Business Development Director Dr Keith Agnew explained.

“A tremendous amount of hard work has been put in by Holstein NI in making the Causeway Classic a reality again in 2011. The organisation must be congratulated for the work put in and the effort made in tailoring the forthcoming event to meet the exact needs of breeders, sponsors and buyers.

“These are uplifting times for the milk sector. The Causeway Classic III will showcase the very best that local breeders have to offer and confirm that dairy farming in Northern Ireland does have a bright future.”

Since 2009 the Causeway Classic event has broken new ground in providing pedigree dairy breeders throughout Ireland with a valuable opportunity to showcase their stock.

Keith Agnew concluded: “The scene is set for a very high calibre show and sale on Wednesday 10th August. I would, therefore, encourage as many dairy farmers as possible to get along to the Pedigree Arena in Moira to see for themselves the quality of stock now on offer from our top pedigree Holstein breeders.”
