Diageo Baileys Champion Cow 

The Bailey’s Champion Cow Competition has been sponsored by the drinks company Diageo Ireland in partnership with its cream supplier Glanbia Ireland since 1983.  

Held annually as part of the Virginia Show, Co. Cavan, the event is regarded as the most prestigious competition of its kind on the island of Ireland. As an All-Ireland competition, cows compete from both sides of the border. It rewards excellence in quality milk production and all aspects of functional cow conformation.
