"Heifer Draw" result

"Altamira Elaine", the VIVA heifer is going to Galway. The winner of the raffle drawn yesterday is Tommy Casserly, Pollaturick, Milltown, Tuam, Co Galway. When contacted, Tommy said he'd never won anything in his life and was delighted with his good fortune.

The raffle was a huge success with over 3000 tickets sold, raising € 15,000 for VIVA. VIVA would like to thank Brendan & Joan O'Connor for their very generous donation of the Limousin heifer - "Altamira Elaine". We hope she enjoys her new home.
