In the latest episode of Agriland's summer podcast series, we visit Granard Agricultural Show, one of Ireland's longest-running agricultural shows.

From pedigree cattle rings to young handlers, we’ll gain some insight into competing in livestock classes and what’s involved.

For machinery lovers, we will also be hearing from Castlerahan Vintage Club, who are raffling off their fully-restored 1978 Massey Ferguson 436 for a great cause.

We also stop by the alpaca enclosure and find out why these popular animals continue to draw the crowds every year at shows.

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.
