Every year the FBD National Hall of Fame Awards acknowledges breeders within the bovine, equine and ovine sectors, for their outstanding dedication and service to their various breeds throughout their lifetime.

This year, the awards will be celebrating 22 years in existence, having been founded by Michael and Oliver Flanagan, who are still the driving force behind the event today.

Once again, the awards ceremony and banquet will be held in the Sheraton Hotel, Athlone, on Sunday 3 May 2026.

Breed societies are asked to forward their nominees name, profile and photograph to Michael and Oliver as soon as possible.
