Meet our 2026 Beef Quality Award winners, Olivia and Barry Leech!

Winners of the @kepak_group Suckler Animal Finisher Award, the Co. Meath farmers have built a successful finishing system around sourcing high-quality heifers, strong herd health and careful management.

Their results also show the value of Commercial Beef Value (CBV), with higher-CBV heifers finishing around six weeks earlier, producing 12kg heavier carcasses and generating an additional €85 per head in factory value compared to the lower-CBV group.

Unfortunately, Olivia and Barry were unable to attend the awards ceremony, with Adam Kilmurray accepting the award on their behalf.

Congratulations to DJ Kealy, Co. Laois, winner of the @kepak_group Dairy Farmer Finisher Award at the ICBF Beef Awards 2026.

DJ Kealy was recognised for the consistent performance achieved across both the dairy and dairy-beef elements of his farming system.

Operating a spring-calving dairy enterprise, DJ has developed a highly efficient system built on strong dairy genetics, excellent fertility and carefully selected beef sires. By combining milk and beef performance within the same system, he continues to produce high-value dairy-beef calves with excellent commercial potential.

His impressive Commercial Beef Value (CBV) results demonstrate how genetics can deliver heavier carcasses, stronger finishing performance and increased profitability, highlighting the value of breeding with both dairy and beef traits in mind.
