Sponsored by Aldi in conjunction with ABP Ireland and the Irish Angus Cattle Society, this year’s competition sees Ireland’s very best Angus bulls battle it out for a prize fund of €27,000.
Aldi agreed a new deal earlier this year to continue as the competition’s lead sponsor until 2022, with Aldi, ABP Ireland and the Irish Angus Cattle Society investing €100,000 over the next four years, according to organisers.
