We had two very successful open days last weekend, one in our home and the other one in wicklow. We had approx 40 people attend on sat to see our flock and also many other four horned jacobs that were brought on the day by other breeders. We had  a shearing demo, spinning  wool demo and a stockjudging competition and mccaughan farm health sponsored some great prizes for the raffle and stockjudging. We had a great meal afterwards which took us out of the rain for a while.  Thanks to all the people who helped us on our open day.

We had a great day at Balmoral and learned alot about what is involved in showing sheep. My son Alexs ram lamb (Bill) and my daughter Aimees ewe lamb (Bella) both did really well to get 3rd place in their respective classes. I would like to thank the rare breeds judge on the day, Robin Darker who give us alot of very good advice about our sheep and this will come in very useful in the years to come.

Our son Alex pictured here with his ram lamb (Bill). He has been teaching him to walk on a halter around the garden and as you can see by the picture he is getting on well. Bill is 4 months old now and we hope that he will do well for us at the shows this year. If you have any interest in Jacobs we hope to see you at Balmoral. We will be competing in the rare breeds section which will be hard as we will be against sheep like South Downs etc but it will be a great experience.
