It was the 1st day out at shows for the Irish Charollais Sheep Society since Covid and it was most enjoyable and we wish to thank Dundalk Show for hosting it at their extremely well organised and ran show.
Now we are looking forward to our Premier Show and Sale on the 29th & 30th July 2022 at Blessington Mart.
