It won’t just be the sheep that will be judged on the day; there is also a young handlers class where Northern Ireland’s top junior shepherds will be able to showcase their skills and knowledge.
There will be fierce competition in the sheep rings with high numbers of quality sheep from Northern Ireland’s top flocks already entered. It will be a tough job for this year’s judges who will come from all across Ireland and the UK.
