Now that the CPT Ram sale has finished, all the team here at Sheep Ireland would like to thank all the buyers and bidders and wish them the best of luck with their purchases. 6 of the 8 rams were purchased by pedigree breeders who are involved in the LambPlus performance recording program. We would like to thank all in Tullow Livestock Sales for their help and assistance before and during the sale. We would like to thank the team in MartEye for their assistance also. For anybody that missed out on a ram, all pedigree breed societies will have premier sales and regional sales coming up over the next few months where there will be a large amount of High Index rams available along with rams that are eligible for the Sheep Improvement Scheme.
