So so true

Let’s all take a minute and think of all the people that have been affected by the last two nights heavy rain in NI, particularly those in the Newry and surrounding areas. Our thoughts are with you all and hope that your lives and businesses are back to normal as soon as possible.

Looking 2 or 3 show quality ewe lambs for a member in the Banbridge area..Also have a person in Plumbridge looking breeding ewe lambs..

Dont forget the clocks go back tonight, get the auld marker out..

Said no Kerryhill breeder ever

Delighted for one of our members to be the first person to Judge Kerryhills at next years South of England show where the Kerryhills will be Judged as a stand alone breed in their own class.
