Texel News » Export Enquiry

We would welcome enquiries from overseas no matter how far or near and will gladly entertain groups interested in coming to view some of the outstanding flocks Ireland has to offer. We can also arrange purchasing on your behalf, acting as intermediary for prospective customers and our members.

In 2009 a number of lambs were exported to Scotland and Germany

We also have a list of approved transporters that will transport your purchase.

To help in selecting the most profitable ram or ewe for you we can also offer you sheep with figures from the new Irish recording scheme called Lamplus. Lambplus was set up in Sept 2008,see www.sheep.ie Its aim is to provide EBV’s (Estimated Breeding Values) on meat production, maternal traits and lambing. In the near future there will also be figures on other traits such as FEC (faecal egg count) and footrot. 20% of our Breeders took part in 2009 and we estimate this will be higher for 2010.
