It was a sunny Saturday in Donegal for the 33rd annual Finn Valley Show. Exhibitors and spectators travelled from across the country to the show, where there was a mega entry of just under 1,000 sheep on show.
There were classes for over 20 breeds of sheep, but coming out on top in the interbreed championship was a super Suftex ewe lamb from Ruairi McNea.
Reserve interbreed champion went to local man Justin Porter with his powerful Charollais ewe.
