UCD s agricultural science society (AgSoc) has launched its grand raffle, continuing its long tradition of raising funds for charity.
This year’s raffle has been supported by a range of generous companies and organisations across the country, with a top prize of €1,000 cash, sponsored by the Irish Angus Cattle Society.
A number of other excellent prizes are on offer, with a night away in the Slieve Russell Hotel in Co Cavan; one tonne of ration from Nutrias; a calf meal feeder from Condon Engineering; and grass seed from Liffey Mills making up just some of the items up for grabs.
SHARING OPTIONS:

The Irish Angus Cattle Society hosted their inaugural Roscrea bull sale on Wednesday with buyers in short supply.
In total, 23 of the 30 bulls catalogued were offered for sale with a mere 10 reaching their reserve.
Prices rose to €2,950 with average sale price resting at €2,350.
It must be noted that first-time sales often take a few years to get established and although this year was tough, next year could be a different story.
Dairy buyers
In previous years, May has been a good month for Angus bull sales with many dairy buyers securing bulls for work straight away. This spring, however, seen buyers secure bulls much earlier than usual which meant bulls sales in May, particularly in the southern part of the country are suffering.
