NZ Dairy Event

On behalf of the New Zealand Dairy Event’s Management Committee in conjunction with Manawatu Show Promotions, I would like to challenge all breed enthusiasts to participate in this prestigious national dairy event.

A lot of work has been done by the committee to ensure those attending will be well catered for and we know you will end up having a memorable and enjoyable time.

The magnificent Manfeild Agri-Centre facilities are second to none and I believe are the best in the Southern Hemisphere if not the world for exhibiting cattle. This is not an ordinary show - make no mistake about that!!

It certainly attracts the very best cattle from all around New Zealand.

We have continued with the major focus being on the farming youth of our country, as we all know, they are our future. We have agreed with a request from the Breed Societies to include all the youth cattle entries into their Breed Sections as well as the All Breeds. The challenge we now have is to also get all the dairy farming fraternity to make a concerted effort and get their youth involved.

For 2018 we will be again working with Holstein Friesian NZ in holding the All Dairy Breeds National Youth Camp at Manfeild Park.

Another one of the features will again be the Semex Summer Sensational Sale. If you have an animal for this please do not hesitate to contact us.


Manfeild Park is ideally situated for both islands to attend. You are only 10 minutes from Palmerston North, regarded as the hub of New Zealand
