Roscommon Sheep Breeders Association are having a meeting on Friday, 4th of October at 8pm in the Cruachan Aí Visitor Centre, Tulsk (F45 HH51).
A warm invitation to attend is extended to members of the public who have an interest in sheep and in preserving and protecting an endangered and iconic rare breed.
In 2024, Roscommon sheep competed in Castlerea, Roscommon, Mountbellew, Elphin, Strokestown and Glenamaddy agricultural shows, coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd in a variety of classes at all the events.
Also, this year Roscommon sheep were exhibited as part of Heritage Week at Mountbellew Shearfest and at the 30th anniversary Roscommon Ploughing event in Ballinaheglish.
The Fuerty Fair (this year’s event is coming up on the 13th of October) has a long tradition of showcasing Roscommon sheep and indeed Fuerty is a parish that once had a record number of these sheep.
