In the sales ring the Shearling ewe went on to make 800gns, the second highest price on the day.

The success at Omagh follows on from a Supreme Championship title picked up by another Shearling ewe bred by the O’Neill’s, Lagyveagh Weather Girl, at the Dungannon Show and Sale, which was held at the end of August.
