The Borris Ewe Breeders' Association is set to hold its second sale of this summer tomorrow, Saturday, August 28.

Once again a strong entry of both hoggets and ewe lambs are entered into the sale, as well as some two and three-year-old ewes.

The show and sale will encompass approximately just over 1,500 sheep, and includes:

Like the first sale - held two weeks ago - the sale of ewe lambs will start at 10:30a.m. This will be closely followed by ewe hoggets at 12:30p.m, while the sale of the two and three-year-old ewes will commence directly after the hoggets.

The first Borris Ewe Breeders' sale held this summer, just two weeks ago, saw a record price of €450/head paid for hogget ewes.

In what was the association's 58th annual sale, it saw a great trade for all stock on offer - with customers coming from all four corners of the country.

Ewe lambs traded from €100/head up to a high of €240/head, with the majority selling from €100/head up to €150/head.

Hogget ewes stole the show and traded from €190/head up to €450/head, although the majority sold for €190-290/head.

Lastly, two and three-year-old ewes made from €170/head up to €215/head.

The chairperson of the association, Maurice O'Donoghue, said that everyone is excited about tomorrow's sale after the success of the opening sale.

He added: "After seeing such a good trade at the first sale two weeks ago, there is a great buzz for the second sale tomorrow.
