Welcome To The Royal Ulster Premier Beef & Lamb Championships

The seventh Royal Ulster Premier Beef & Lamb Championships will take place on Tuesday 26th November 2024 at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn.

Organised by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS), this electric show and sale commences as the highest quality beef cattle, calf and lamb entries compete for highly contested Championship titles.

In the evening as the rings are encircled by butchers, retailers and spectators, the event culminates in a spirited auction of stock shown on the day. 

The revised timetable is now available and further information for exhibitors can be found here or within our FAQs
