WEST OF IRELAND

The West of Ireland being predominantly a sheep breeding area, was quick to recognise the superior traits of the Suffolk breed, hardiness, prolifacy, rapid growth rate, meatiness and wool quality. The Suffolk soon became the most popular breed in the area. In 1971 the West of Ireland Suffolk Breeders club was formed. Since its formation the club has been independently run and it has been responsible for the day to day running costs. Since then it has played an active part in the promotion of the Suffolk breed. To date, the club has a membership of 38 members... We are a complete Irish run society with both our breeding programme and flock book held with Sheep Ireland We can offer a full service at half the price.
