Foyle Valley Carcass Competition Winners 2022

Entries into the Foyle Valley Producers Club Annual Carcass Competition held at the Foyle Campsie site were top class, with a large number of high quality cattle slaughtered on the day.

The competition was open to groups of four cattle to reward those beef producers who could demonstrate consistency in finishing a group of cattle. Scoring for the competition was based on 2 criteria: weight and grade of the four cattle.

Winner of the Commercial Beef Class was Colin Mitchell. This group of 3 U Grade heifers and 1 E Grade accumulated the top score of the day; demonstrating their excellent conformation, optimum fat cover and ideal weights. Second place was awarded to Mona Sawyers and third place to Mr C Collins.
