There was no reason to be sheepish for owners at the recent Donegal Pedigree Suffolk Breeders Show and Sale.
John Doherty and his ram bagged the show’s Champion title, with a large crowd of breeders and buyers in attendance.
They won the Tommy Memorial Cup for winning the Open Ram Lamb class at the show and sale.
There was a large turnout as farmers displayed their pedigree rams, with plenty of buyers there to do business also.
Thanks to Clive Wasson Photography for these snaps from the evening.
