How It All Began…

In response to the growing number of enthusiastic young members within the Northern Ireland Cattle Club, in January 2002 it was decided that a special club should be formed for the under 30’s. From this dedicated group of Youth Breeders a committee was formed and have played a pivotal role in the organisation of events such as stock judging competitions, coaching for stock judging, young handler’s competitions, educational trips and of coarse, social barbecues and discos. The club has went from strength to strength under the leadership of Judith McCracken (2002), Jonathon Aiken (2003), Paul Campbell (2005/6) and Kim Steele-Nicholson (2006). The Northern Ireland Young Breeders Club has a growing list of 50 members from across the province.
