As a leading manufacturer of veterinary pharmaceuticals operating on the global stage, we are pleased to help Northern Ireland farmers display their own expertise at this level”.
The competitions commence on the 29th of February with the world competition semi-finals and finals taking place on Saturday, the 3rd of March. More information on the event is available from www.goldenshears.co.nz
