Around the Shows: Tug of war and pedigree sheep at Dungarvan
About this episode
The episode explores the Dungarvan Show, highlighting its unique events and the community surrounding it.
Welcome to the first episode of Around the Shows , Agriland's new podcast series celebrating Ireland's agricultural show season. Our first stop is the 107th Dungarvan Show in Co. Waterford, where tradition meets something new. This year's event featured its first-ever Tug of War competition alongside the prestigious Irish Texel Sheep National Championships, drawing exhibitors, competitors and visitors from across the country. As we make our way around the showgrounds, we’ll hear from livestock breeders, machinery experts, musicians and showgoers about what makes Dungarvan Show such a special day in the rural calendar—and why they return year after year. Throughout the summer, Around the Shows will take listeners behind the scenes at agricultural shows across Ireland, meeting the farmers, exhibitors, volunteers, traders and families who keep these much-loved traditions thriving.
