Listowel Food Fair to present award for best factory heifer

The 31st Listowel Food Fair in Ireland aims to celebrate local food at every stage, from farm to fork. Among its awards is one for the best factory heifer.

The 31st Listowel Food Fair is taking place in the Irish town of Listowel, and its programme includes an unusual honour: an award for the best "factory heifer", meaning a heifer destined for processing. The fair says it wants to celebrate every stage of local food, from the farm to the table.

The award will be presented at 9:00 p.m. on Monday, November 9. Anyone interested is welcome to attend.

The source, the Irish farming news site Agriland.ie, gives only these basic details. The wider programme and other parts of the event are not described in the published excerpt.
