Cattle competitions and championships as an integral part of the National Show of Livestock

Saturday's programme in Hall P on the demonstration sites started from the very morning with competitions for children and juniors. The youngest handler was a seven-year-old girl who bravely managed a calf almost bigger than she was. National championship of the Aberdeen Angus meat breed took place at noon.

National championship of the Jersey breed will be held at the dairy cattle demonstration site on Sunday morning, and the national championship of the Brown Swiss breed in the afternoon. Beef cattle championships will also be held, with the Charolais and Limousine breeds competing.

Monday's programme will host the National Holstein Cattle Championships from 10.00 to 14.30. On the second demonstration site, the lesser-known Aubrac, Parthenaise, Gasconne, Salers and Blonde d'Aqutaine breeds will compete.

Tuesday will offer not only the national championship of Czech spotted cattle, but also evaluation of the results of the visitor survey "Miss Sympathy". This time the championship of beef cattle will be represented by the Beef Simmental, Hereford or Piemontese breeds.

On Wednesday, the beef cattle demonstration site will host for the first time an auction of breeding heifers and embryos from cattle breeders' associations.
