The Irish Hereford Breed Society will be bringing a team of four young Hereford breeders aged between 18 and 26 years to the World Hereford Conference in Kansas in October 2025.

Irish Hereford Prime has created a travel bursary for the event to the value of €10,000. This will see each of the four successful candidates receive €2,500 towards the cost of their trip.

As part of the conference, there is a dedicated young breeder competition that will take place from 19 to 25 October 2025.

The Irish Hereford Breed Society and Irish Hereford Prime intend to run a competition throughout 2024 to choose a team of four young Hereford breeders to travel to Kansas and compete against young Hereford breeders from around the world.
