Ke Warra Poll Herefords

🇮🇪 Ireland 2026 🇮🇪

Jan, Geoff & Catherine had a wonderful time in Ireland attending the 19th European Hereford Conference.

As part of the conference, we had the opportunity to visit a number of pedigree Hereford breeders across Ireland, seeing their herds firsthand and hearing about their breeding strategies and goals.

A particular highlight was visiting Appelbe Bulls in Clonakilty, where we had the pleasure of meeting John Appelbe. The Appelbe herd has utilised Ke Warra Maxwell (KEWR156) (owned by Minlacowie Poll Herefords & Maildaburra Poll Herefords) and it was fantastic to see some of his progeny on the ground — including some great-looking heifers and calves.

Attending the Tullamore Show for the National Hereford Show was another highlight, with 150+ quality Herefords presented for judging.

A huge thank you to all the farms who hosted delegates for farm visits, and to the Irish Hereford Breed Society for organising such a fantastic event. The opportunity to share knowledge, ideas and experiences with Hereford breeders from across Europe and around the world was invaluable.

Already looking forward to the World Hereford Conference in the UK in 2028! 🇬🇧
